hydroponic switch to soil and leaves are turning yellow

[dkahler420]

I got this hydroponic clone and put it into soil. Had it for about 2 weeks and have cfl lights 6 inches above it. The leaves are starting to turn yellow and tips are turning brown. Not sure what to do. have any ideas?

You either have to feed it some nutes, or you may have a bad ph problem causing lockout. (ph for hydro is about 5.5, for soil about 6.5)

check your ph and adjust accordingly, then feed it a bit. You also should lower your lights/raise your plants... cfl's need to be 2 inches or less away to fully benefit the plant.

hope this helps :thumbsup:

It's just gonna take time. Let the soil dry out a bit before you water it.
