have these plants which are Armageddon Sativa ā?? supposedly with a 7 week flowering time. They are outdoors in soil in 18 gallon plastic containers (not yet budding), a 15 gallon garden pot and a 10 gallon smart watering pot (both budding<forced>). I am using a moisture meter to find out how often to water. Currently I am watering the ā??sickā? ones 2-3 gallons per week since the plants seem to be not growing properly. I am watering the healthy ones 5-7 gallons per week. I have been using fish emulsion & bat guano for fertilizer. They have been outside for 2 months and are about 5' tall.


The problem is that the plants that are in the 18 gallon plastic containers are looking ā??pale greenā? and leaves are turning yellow (middle ā?? closet to main stem, mostly), and the growth is not impressive right now. The other plants in the other containers are looking a healthy green. Attached is a picture with a healthy plant next to the pale green/yellow plant, and some pictures of the individual sick plants.


I really think the problem is from the potting soil mixture I used. It was a cheap soil and I only added ā??Happy Frogā? wood chips(?). The soil seems to be dense and sandy, - not ideal. I have checked the ph and its at 7.0. The plants also get plenty of light. Just in the last 3 days I put a lot of 1 Ā½ā? holes on the sides of the 18 gallon plastic containers to help get air to the rootsā?¦.

Does anyone have any idea what REALLY could be the problem? Do the plants look like they are lacking nutes? If so, what kind? Orā?¦ if it is the poor quality soil, is there anything I can do to fix that
