Hi,

I really appreciate everyone taking the time to respond to my query; I guess all I can say is thanks! This is my second attempt at growing, first one for 55g off of one plant that was mostly healthy.

My aim was to solely add water for the majority of the grow, hence the multitude of amendments. I assure you, I am no expert grower but I have a pretty decent knowledge of soil/the biological/physical systems in play (Thank you undergrad in Water and Soil Science) and really appreciate everyone's help and opinions.

I have 5 plants in 2gal pots, and I am waiting for them to sex before I re-pot them in 5gal containers for the remainder of the grow.

The issue is that the potential ladies are showing perhaps different problems (when I mixed the amendments into the soil it is possible the chance is always there that I mixed it ineffectively, leading to "hot spots" of certain additives).

The drainage holes of the plant showing the signs of wilting (Picture 2) smell a little swampier than the others, but not gross..

I would like to post some pictures and some information to go along with those pictures to obtain information from those more knowledgeable (potentially you!) than myself in where to proceed from here.

They are all ~28days (4weeks) old.

One more of the Blueberry
-------------------------------------------------------------------------



NorthernBerry 1 - Notice the yellowed first set of leaves, and the beginning of yellowing of the second set from the tip in very slightly
-------------------------------------------------------------------------





NorthernBerry 2 - this one is the only one displaying the downward curling leaves (overwatering unlikely?) as well as the lower yellowing moving up
-------------------------------------------------------------------------



NorthernBerry 3 - The most vibrant of the northernberry, still yellow coloration on the lower leaves
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plant 5 is a Northern Lights, Very tips of the lowest leaves JUST NOW starting to show slight issues like the NB2 lower leaves. Seems to be just growing slow.

Any other information that I have left out is mistaken and I would love to clarify anything if you have any questions. :1baa:

Just my :twocents: but I've found that wavy thing going on with your leave is a result of the soil being too hot. Quite a few people have been questioning their seedlings that have that, but it usually goes away after a week or 2. I think that with the additives you've put in your soil you've bumped up the nutrient level right on the verge of too much. Like I said with seedlings this usually goes away in a week or 2, but hard to tell how long that stuff might stay in the soil.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

As of today,

wilted one still wilted and much increased yellowing moving up the plant - might have to scrap this guy think its got root rot.

My northern lights is now showing the progression of lower leaves like the blueberry. not really yellowing, but just a strange off-green drying out sort of thing.

The blueberry is the only one that seems to be going strong
