Hi ,I'm a beginner started just a month ago, and this is my 1st plant.
35 days old.
few days ago the few older tips appeared like
curling up and the colour went light and yellow.
and i was using a container i made by 4.5L PET bottle , drilled some holes under for drainholes.
but look not good , the soil is too stick ,holes on the bottle is not working well too ,seems the water i flushed is not coming out from the hole.
its my 1st time grow , i didn't do much work on it ,i don't know the PH soil i was using in the PET bottle ,and i haven't use any nutrient material for my plant.
after i found my leaf tips went yellow , i took out the plant from soil , washed by tap water , the roots look abit yellow , im not sure its the soil color or my root has already gone rot.. (i forgot to take photo)
anyway i digged and pulled whole plant out ,washed abit by tap water,moved and planted it to a bigger container , the container is actually a normal flower pot as you can see in the image. and i changed another type of soil also , which is not too stick (i dont know if im using a hot type soil or there were some heavy nutrient in the soil, a friend bought me from internet.)
works well ,the water runs out from the bottom each watering. (2L water once every three days for 5L soil)
but seems they are still going yellow (or brown?) day by day slowly from the edge.
even i can see they are alive and still growing slowly.
the cotyledon leaf was green after i planted her to new pot ,after 3days later,cotyledon gone yellow as you see in my photo.
also i tested the PH for my new soil after i realized i have to do that.
PH 5.9 ~7 from the center around the roots at root level .
PH 6.5 ~7.3 abit far from the center of the pot at root level .
tested the tap water ,the PH is 7.6
and im using the normal water i bought from the shop , tested the PH , look like PH 8..
the temp in my room remains around 60F~72F ,spring weather , which i assume is fine
with a 15W t2 cfl light , the distance between the plant is 4 inches.
I also got MH/HPS there , not using it yet , considered the power costs for just one plant.
will provide more info that i can do if you ask.
Thank you for reading or reply
