My Bad. Re-read 1st post. I somehow over looked the transplant into 2 gal pots. Yeah, watering through would be too much. I saw the solo cups with roots coming out of the bottom & went on that. Cant figure how I missed the 2gal pots the first time I read it. If you go with a meter, still feel the soil with your finger. When trying to help my friend, I bought three. One never worked at all, the other two were very short lived, under 2 wks. The more expensive one also had a pH meter which worked, but since I always double checked it against my pH test kit it wasn't saving me anything. Yeah, what Lipps said on steping up in pot size one size at a time. Again, sorry I missed the 2 gal pot size. That was a very important thing.
catbuds Reviewed by catbuds on . First 2 leaves (spear leaves) turning yellow. Sign of nutrient deficiency or..? hi, just started my first grow. i'm 2 weeks in now, started from seed. recently the first 2 leaves (not the cotyledons) are turning pale/yellow, but the new foliage looks nice and green. i know the cotyledons are supposed to turn yellow and die, but how about the 2 leaves that come after? is this the first sign of nutrient deficiency, or being root bound? over/under watering? enviromental problem? this is happening on all 6 seedlings. today i transplanted them from 16oz solo cups to 2 Rating: 5
