3 gallon fabric@RetiredRN how big were your pots?
I've just read the link you posted about the medium your growing in. It doesn't really tell you much. But Don't worry about that tiny bit of yellowing mate. If it starts getting worse then you can start adjusting nutrients to suit. It does look a little hungry though. It may just be the light the photo was taken in. But if it was my plants, I would be giving it something not eat.Day 28
more pics more issues xD
the big one is stretching well, the small one is doing good but has developed some yellowing on the edges and tips of the leaves, they are also curling up a bit.
I have never fed the plant since i planted the seed and have watered it very carefully, today it got a full watering btw.
Does this look like a nitrogen deficiency guys? Should i start feeding it? Also can i feed 2ml biogrow with just enough water since i watered it fully or do i have to wait.
Thx
Yeh man it sucks !!! It says that it has all you need inside xD but doesn't mention amounts. I left the small one like that because i overfed the big one too early and i wanted to see how it will react.It doesn't really tell you much
I wouldn't mate. As it wouldnt soak all the way through the pot. Your ,250 ml of water would just sit at the top and not get right down into the mainroots and probably just evaporate off the top. Let it dry out abitYeh man it sucks !!! It says that it has all you need inside xD but doesn't mention amounts.

The problem is that i watered it fully tonight without feeding it, can i put 2ml of biogrow in lets say 250ml of water and feed it tomorrow or should i wait?
yes i use RO water, but i have never checked the Ph. I added cal/mag though after week 2, because the plant was showing signs of deficiency.I noticed your using RO water and do you check the ph and do you use cal mag in it.
You need to spend a little more money on a on a pH pen or cheaper still, the pH strips.. It is possible just to add non PH corrected water and get no issues but that is very rare. You need to know what pH your water is, as that is a variable. If you start getting nutrient deficiencies it could be as simple as your water not being the correct pH and you could keep pumping in nutes and poison her. When all along it was just a pH imbalance. I would not even attempt to grow anything without knowing what the PH of the water is and I would definitely not water a plant with just plain RO. You need to add some minerals back into the water every time you water.yes i use RO water, but i have never checked the Ph.

I know that the Ph is very important but, as long as the plants grow i don't want to spend more money.
The leaves had those white lines on them before i added cal/mag in the soil. All the new growth looks perfect though that leads me to believe that i took care of the problem.
The small one had them in the soil from day one so it's not cal/mag def. I ll just wait 3/4 days for the soil to dry out a bit and feed it 2ml, lets hope that i won't get burned like the old one xD
I am starting to believe that liquid nutes are both risky and pointless for growing in soil or coco, slow release fertilizers can't harm the plant and provide continuous nutrition to the plant. For autos 2 feeding will be enough for the whole grow !!!
I agree. I started out assuming my water was ph neutral at 7 and when I got a ph checker I was shocked to learn it was 7.4, and then On top of that I was giving nutrients that were driving my ph down to 4.5. I don’t know how I kept from killing my plants. Ph checking is very important.You need to spend a little more money on a on a pH pen or cheaper still, the pH strips..

I grow in soil and I would never not adjust the pH. Between 6.3 and 6.8 always and then you know you have removed one of the variable factors..2l, teaspoon of each works out for Me, gets me to 6.3/4....
But some say dont add ph down or up for soil.. As soil will do the buffering
Think we are all guilty of doing something wrong on our first growIm set on having it 6.3 too... But ya can see when people start out on a grow, they read that much, they bypass the basics
i have added slow release cal/mag pellets in the soil.You need to add some minerals back into the water every time you water.
I know guys, the next thing that i will buy will be a ph tester. Do you think the cheap one will last or do i have to get the more expensive one?Ph checking is very important.
That is SO true, that's why i have planted the small one as a back up to my bad decisions with the big one. But so far so goodBut most beginners cant wait
I've had the same cheepo Chinese PH pen and TDS meter for two years.i have added slow release cal/mag pellets in the soil.
