TheGeneral05 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hi, I have 3 plant that I'm trying to rescue. The were originally clumped together in a 0.5L pot for germination, and sort of forgotten. I saw that at least one of the three was really struggling, and decided to transplant the all to their own container. I'm using solo cups with following soil: Organic compost bought from the nursery 20L worth Mixed with 5L worm castings I then added organic Seagro B2051 Fish Emulsion (5ml to 1L water) and mixed in extra water get a moist soil medium. It has been a week now since the transplant, and I noticed the yellowing of the bottom fan leaves of the strongest of the 3 plants, as well as the smallest of the 3 plants not really gaining any height. I have read that yellowing of the bottom leaves is due to nitrogen deficiency. I did not expect that with organic compost. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.

sliver1 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Yea that looks like a deficiency. But if that was my compost and worm castings it would be burning the plant. I would double check that compost and maybe give a feeding of balanced liquid nutrient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sliver1, thank you for the response. I have currently switched to water only, as I was afraid it might be due to nutrient lock(due to the molasses)? I will add some liquid nutrients with the next watering. I'm thinking only using the seagro fish emulsion, upping the dilution to 10ml:1L water and giving each plant 50ml, finally only filtered water to soak through soil. The town I'm in is a bit limited with variety of plant food... Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sliver1 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 sounds like a decent plan. But first check if the soil is wet or too dense for proper aeration of the roots. And if the plants is even placed in a proper environment. It looks like it could use some more light and ventilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calumet_Genetics Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Attenzione però perché può essere anche un sintomo di mancata assimilazione per un eccesso di un altro marconutriente, non è detto che il terreno sia carente di N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
