Hi.
Sorry for the long post :|
I have a problem with my plants, somewere i messed up.
I have Auto AK47, Auto Critical, Auto White Dwarf. They are indoor, 19 days old, in 2gal pots, except for one that is in 2,6 gal pot, under 250hps from day one, air cooled. Box temp is in 73-80F by lights on, and 64F by lights off. No pests afaik, haven't used fertilizers yet. Box size is 10 sq ft.
I'm gonna write specs of soil that i found on bag, if that clarifys something.
pH is 6.10
% N - 1,20
% P - 0,21
% K - 0,59
I'm gonna write other elements i found on the bag too..
mg/kg
Cr - 3,21
Cd - 1,96
Hg - < 0,05
Pb - 9,50
Mn - 341
As < 1,00
Mo - 2,62
Ni - 15,25
Zn - 28,00
I mixed in some styrofoam in soil to help with drainage, crushed it to many tiny pieces. Was that ok? I've watered them 2 times a week, every 4 to 5 days. Their 2nd watering, i guess i've stuned them, i definetly overwatered, they prety much stopped growing, and kinda got hung/wilted.. watered with tap water. They looked just a tiny bit better every next day, and when it was time for watering again, i watered with distilled water, to which they responded nicely, looked alive again. Now, in the last couple of days, yellowing on the leafs started.
Now, after i've browsed and browsed and so on, i probably figured out that i have a problem of nutrient lockout? And that my plants cant get Nitrogen from soil due to it, and therefor they are yellowing. It started at the tips, and moved to the center of leaf. I cant measure my tap water pH now, going to the store tomorrow to buy some, acording to the website of water supply for my town, pH is 7,01. I figured i messed up with pH somehow, and now my plants arent getting their food. Tomorrow i'll know do i have to lower it or up it, when i buy pH meter, if i finaly found one! O, i let the tap water sitout 24 to 48 hours before watering.
Beside these plants i have one Power Plant in a small pot, havent transplated him to the bigger pot yet, but its the only plant that isnt showing any signs of yellowing.
Here are some pictures of the problem.
Please help, my medicine isnt doing well
