Hi,
I have heard these Lebanese can be sensitive to nutrients so could this be the staring of nutrient burn? In my compost I have worm casts 15% and about 5% slow release granules so could this cause nute burn in these Lebanese? Here are some pics:

Have you any basic compost you can repot? I would gently remove as much of the existing compost and repot.

What sort of granules were they? I wouldn't add any fertiliser to a potting mix until at least a 3 litre pot, and possibly not at all for thoose landraces - do what ratdog says..

The granules are Westland Feed All NPK 14-5-28 with micro nutrients.

Absolutely no reason to add anything at all to your soil with a plant that small. In an ok soil, you shouldnt need to add for 3-4 weeks. Thats a nuteburn

All now in plain compost with perlite, so will hopefully improve soon as I washed off most of the old compost from the roots. Thanks for all the helpful advice.

Hi speedemon I hope you have solved your nute burn problems
Im following the RSC grows to get some tips on growing them in a drobe,
It will be my first grow ......so I know nothing
I wont be adding any perlite or other additives as Im
...trying to keep it real simple
So excuse me if this is a stupid idea but could I do
my lebs in seed and seedling compost for the first couple of
pot ups?

you can deffo use it to begin with, mine was fine on it, when i potted up, i used JIno2, which was abit hot for one of the lebs, but the other two lebs was fine.
i cant see why you cant use seedling and cutting compost throughout the potting up with the lebs.

Hi Mate, As the guy above said you will be just fine using seedling compost throught out most of the potting up, as you can see they dislike even mild nutrients. Cheers
