Second Grow Issues - TS Form and Pics Included

does the hyponex have any nutes in it?

also, the pH is on the high side. 6.3 is ideal.

are you getting adequate drainage? are you sure that's 35% perlite/vermiculite? it might just be the pics.

the cotyledon, the round leaves you refer to yellowing basically are food storage for your seedling.

someone else will be in here shortly i'm sure.

Hi Shake,
I dont believe the soil has any nutes added, but in the process of googling that, I discovered an article talking about the poor quality of that particular soil. I mixed in the perlite and vermiculite pretty heavy, I was aiming for a 3:1 soil/perl-verm ratio but may have ended up closer to 2:1. I should be ph'ing the water down to 6.3 ? When I water the plant, alot of water drains out of the bottom fairly quickly, unsure if that is adequate or not. Plants are also in 4" pots, I have some 6" pots for their next replant. I think I will end up hunting down some higher quality soil for that though.. Thanks.

Johnny
