Yikes! The bottom set of leaves are folding under and twisting!

Purple stem = seedling, she looks very healthy.
I prefer soil but like to experiment with organic areo. I acually make fertilizer. The first ad is coming out in High Times next issue which is going to be a organic issue. www.gorillagrow.org if you want to check it out. The micronutes I use like 4 ppm from earthjuice if any.

Wow.

That soil looks fanstastic. Are ferts needed?
Where can I get some?

Also, I'm almost ALWAYS mixing pearlite with my soils, how well does it drain?

Sorry to bombard you with questions. ;p

[karmaxul]

Perlite is chill. I dont understand the first question and I love answering questions so bombard away.

Let me rephrase that, what I really meant to say was can you go longer without adding fertilizer since the soil is so full of nutrients?

That, and where can I get my hands on some?

I've got a few yellow spots on my leaves, I'm wondering if I might have splashed some water on it and it burned the leaf but I'm usually REALLY careful when I water them.

What could be the cause?

[karmaxul]

Cool, yes if your soil is full of nuts you dont need to ad any. Some break down slower then others which may eventually give you unbalance so if you got to many you may want to flush them out and do it up right. I am guessing the spots are from folair but its tuff to say when I am not there.
I am going to be selling from my site in under a month in smaller quanity then just to distributers. Hopefully in a year you can get it in every country as High Times is international. I am working on getting places like home depot and lowes and home hard ware to carry it. Also worms way and a few others besides your local grow shops who I would be glad to supply as well.

Quick question, since the bottom leaves are pretty much folded under and crispy.. they're still green but with yellowing tips. (interesting that the tips took FOREVER to start yellowing, the poor girl just did not want to lose those leaves.) but anyway, should I go ahead and clip them off to keep them from taking energy from the rest of the plant? Or would that throw it into stress?

[karmaxul]

You can clip em. I cant see them in the picture so I figure they are not getting any light anyway. If you are talking about the ones with three points then I would leave them as they are helping make food. If the leaf gets over 50% damaged I would clip it. I dont think the stress would be that noticable but seeing as she is so young you may wish to keep her leaves to watch what the leaf continues to do. It will be a good way to monitor health and you can only gain knowledge from it so I guess I would say let her ride.

Ok, I went ahead and flushed her and gave her 4-12-4.

The recommended dosage was half a capful at 1 gallon of water. I gave them a quarter of the dosage (1/2 Tbsp) and the recommended dosage of superthrive.

The plants are perking up, but it might be because of the water and not the nutes.. The healthier plant was showing signs of yellowing on the leaves before fert.

-Could this be a heat/humidity problem as well?

Unfortunately for me, my grow room stays around 80-84 during the day but goes down to low 70s at night.

I also wanted to ask do you think they need bigger pots? I don't know the signs of being rootbound.
