Hey guys - I've got a grow diary going and have posted what going on with my plants - it's only 4 pages long - It's about yellowing of lower leaves and some spotting _ I've not been feeding any nutes and plants are day19 from planting into soil - all details are in my diary I would really appreciate if anyone can have a look and give me some advice cheers - ritchy

Here is some pics - BJ Auto close up spots + yellowing The same plant overall

My guess is either overwatering or nitrogen deficiency (as I'm not using any nutes and only potted up into 6L pots nearly a week ago - probably not N deficiency)

On Day 19 - (but from planting the seeds into soil - not from when first leaves appeared/sprouted)

My biggest BJ auto plant


You guys think I should leave the plants really dry out completely and see what happens from there - is yellowing sometimes caused by over watering?

Yellowing can be caused by overwatering, but not really like that. That plant looks as hungry as an extremely hungry thing.

Just been looking at your diary and you are in PlantMagic soil, which is a light mix, ie it doesn't have much nutes in it. Start feeding the Grow nutrient immediately and you should be fine.

Thank you for your advice Squirrel - I'm going to water them tonight and leave the lights on - how much PM Oldtimers grow do you think I should add into 10L of water?

I really appreciate your help as I'm a newbie

[Elephant Face]

start at around 2ml a litre so 20ml in 10lt.

If all ok step up to 3ml per litre next week or so.

Thank you so much Elephant Face (and Squirrel) I really appreciate your help on this - just waiting for my 10 L of water to warm up a bit then going to feed them tonight and leave lights on overnight tonight - don't want to much humidity : ) thanks again

Have edited your link in the first post so it works.

You potted on with a totally underdeveloped rootmass, even then they were suffering a little from over watering, now your plants are in 6 litre pots with hardly any roots and starting to drown, they don't need feeding, let thing dry out a bit so what roots you have can start functioning and have a chance to grow....

I've just read through your diary and as I'm reading it you potted up into the stuff in the plant magic bag?

I should read things properly, he initially potted in gold label, then potted on into coco.

You can't use pm organic in coco, it won't work, thats a total cock up, you need proper coco nutrients if you are not going to remove the plants from the coco.

It's Plant Magic plus Coco coir

Regardless of the brand it is still coco.

It's inert so it will work poorly at best with organic nutes.

Buy some coco specific nutrients or repot them into smaller pots in compost.

E2a-

http://www.plant-mag...ts/supreme.html - PM soil, suitable for use with your nutrients

http://www.plant-mag...s/cococoir.html - PM coco, which is what you have, not suitable for use with your nutrients

So I can't use PM old timers bloom or Old timers grow in PM soil - Coco coir?


So I have the PM old timers bloom and grow - so I really should go out and buy the PM soil supreme and repot - I've checked the roots they have reached the bottom and not looking bad at all - but I will go out today and buy some PM soil supreme and take it from there.


I have a bag of Gold Label special mix (pic on my diary link) will this be ok for now to repot and use the PM Oldtimer grow and bloom???
