Need quick help.. a few of my plant seems to be dying from hunger.

[MDFinest]

The main symptoms are the lower leaves yellowing and dying rapidly. From what I know that means it needs N P K but the Scotts potting soil came with time release nutrients which obviously arent releasing anything yet(thats what im assuming at least). I knew I should have gotten a nuteless mix and Fox Farms nutrients and contolled the feeding schedule myself but I dont have the money right now.

I gave them Terracyle worm castings for food and I'm just wondering how long they take to kick in because they are slow release also. The plants also need to be transplanted very soon so that's another issue.

how old are..if they are seedlings and you have them in nutrient rich soil you may be killing them with a nutrient overdose...if the plant is older and flowering it is natural for the lower leaves to turn yellow no worries..

but i could be wrong...and also there is a form to fill out do that and post it with some pics and someone here will help you...

good luck

yellowing leaves can mean that its being overdosed.. i would be careful with what your putting in your soil... check ph levels too maybe?

Suggest you check the PH of the run-off before assuming that.

Aloha Brah,

Don't expect to see any re-greening of the fan leaves.
That is not reverseable.

They will get worse and eventually fall off.
NBD, it's natural.
Watch the new growth for response to your:weedpoke:.

Mix up some better soil and transplant into it.
They should perk up in a day or so as the root hit the new stuff.

Good luck ,
