I wouldnt even begin to think about nutrients with based on the size of your plant. They look similar to how my sprouts started out. Granted you are providing enough light, I would guess a pH problem as I dont think the false leaves should be yellowing this soon. What is the pH? Also, Im pretty sure it makes more sense to keep your questions to a single thread because as Ive learned, when you learn to correct one problem, another one arises. So you may be back here quite often.

Thanks. I do not know ph waiting for my tester ordered one but it is yet to arrive. I will go and but one today from my local nursery.

Light is ok I have two girls under same light and Seline is looking amazing.

Thanks for the advice.......will keep all informed of girls progress.

No ph problem I got a tester and its middle for diddle not acidic not alkaline.

I an going to try nitrogen because of the yellowing. If tht fails then epsom salts for magnesium defiecency.

Can anyone help with the brown stripe problem?


Thanks all

Bought a high nitrogen plant food 10.5-2-2

Just fed my poor baby (followed manufacturers instructions mixed 16 drops of liquid feed with one litre of spring water, did not give her the whole litre) she was quite dry anyway.

Fed her sister with just spring water with a ph of 6.8, her sister is in same conditions, same soil everything and is doing great, I am confused.

How long will nitrogen take to improve yellowing? Because if no improvement it has to be magnesium, doesn't it? Will use Epsom Salts if yellowing don't improve. It is a process of elimination until I find the cause and cure it.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help with brown stripe problem? I am thinking it might be genetic, I can't find anything like on the web or on here.

Sounds like you are talking about one of those crappy soil probes that do nothing except tell you when it's acidic (moist soil) or alkaline. (dry soil)
What's your ingoing water ph?

Your approach is about to kill your ladies. You were told it's too early for nutrients, let alone a full dose. It's still too early.
If you don't know why you need it, or what the consequences are, don't add it. Best to leave the troubleshooting to those that have practical experience in the grow room.

Speaking of troubleshooting, the troubleshooting form link is in my signature. If you want us to review what's going on, and determine what to do about it...copy-n-paste the appropriate form here, and answer all the questions fully and honestly. Take a look at the "Epsom Salts is not a miracle cure" thread. It's a sticky around here somewhere...

With the info provided, they look like low ingoing water ph, underwatered and heat stressed, but this is just a guess until you fill-out the form. (subject to change with additional info) But overall...they could look worse.

I am sorry Rusty. I am just beginning and don't know what to do there is so much advice around. I downloaded the growers bible and have been going of what I read in there.

Correction run off ph is 5.8-6.0 not as stated sorry

[elegantfool]

Can anyone tell me the best way to test ph? I have a probe with a digital read out but I just don't think it is accurate or reliable?

Thanks
