Need Your Help...Please!!!!!!!

[Delta.9]

There is something wrong with my plant and I'm not sure what it is.

This is my first time growing outdoors so I'm not familiar with it at all. Check out my post in the outdoor growing for the full low down but here are some pics of my plant.

Not only is the top of the plant leaning badly, but the bottom leaves are looking terrible. The top starting leaning yesterday but I couldn't get up any pics or posts until now.

Need your help and advice BADLY!!!!

Thank you in advance!!!

Have you over watered her?

Steak her with a tomato steak... or several steaks...

At first I thought she may need nutrients.. that she may be hungry...

but I see the tips are burnt from maybe to much feeding...

My first two guesses are
1. Over watered
2. Ph is off.. PH should be 6.8

: )
Is the stem red?

nice strawberries

thats a shame, looks very good, otherwise .... a guess: possibly watering too close to the stem has softened the plants foundation, ... any sign of stem rot, or a softness to it at soil level ? :smokin:

I am purchasing a soil PH tester tonight. I think that might be one reason. I don't water very often, just to keep the soil from getting too dry.

I am actually about to run out the door in a few minutes so I don't have much time but when I do later tonight I will post more in detail.

Thanks!

BTW, yea, strawberries should be nice in a few weeks lol

I'm curious??? What nutes recipe are you using.

[Delta.9]

That is a possibility. However, there is no sign of stem rot or softness to it at soil level.

That's the thing. I wasn't sure if a 15-30-15 fert was good or not. I used that on my hydro setup but didn't know if I should use the same for outdoor.

Right now I just use miracle grow.
I'm using the recommended 1 tablespoon per gallon of water and water just enough to moisten the soil up or when it looks like it needs it. Not sure how much exactly that equates to in mL or whatever.

Any recommendations?

Does it matter what brand of fertilizer I use?

Should I use it every time I water for the entire cultivation?

Does it matter if it's liquid or powder form?

What soil are you using....?

If you are using MG soil + MG nutes.... at the same time.. early in a plants life....

you may be headed for trouble....


If you water with the proper PH water.. 6.8... your soil should be fine..

nothing wrong with Miracle-Gro, despite some posts in here ,,, the bad boy is Miracle-Gro Potting Soil, avoid that stuff, because its time-release pellets arent controllable by you ... 15/30/15 is fine, I use it too .. powder is fine, just mix it up well, I apply it 'foliar-method' once a week, just spray it on the leaves, underside most important ... do NOT apply it in the sun, the water drops can magnify the sun's rays, and burn the leaves, I do it at 'sundown', gives them all night to feed and dry before 'sun' comes up ... I am switching over to organic Earth Juice nutes this grow, for the first time, but I used nothing but Miracle-Gro on pot plants for 25 years, and my plants always impressed my friends ... :smokin:
