Some of my leaves are looking a bit discolored. Here's a picture. Any idea what the issue is?





Medium is regular organic soil
pH im not sure I dont have a tester
General hydroponics trio but I dont measure them I just pour about a teaspoon of each into a gallon jug then water them with that.

Just updated the post sir. Thank you. I'm a noob and need help with pH and nutes.

Ok pH is a major part, so is measuring

Take it seriously or she will die

Might want to get something to check ph.... And tds!

So I had a question about the nutes. If the bottle says put one teaspoon for a gallon of water, how much of that gallon do I water the plants with?

Simple answer. Until 20% runoff

Complicated answer....

About a Pound

How do you measure run off?

Am I able to fill the gallon jug half way, put the nutes in that and feed the plant the entirity of the jug, which would be a half gallon?

Go slowly. When you see a bit of run off add a bit more.

I guess you could but from my experience you can easily create channels in the dirt that will just let water flow through without getting soaked into the dirt.

It becomes a waste of water and nutrients imo

I'm growing indoors though. By runoff do you mean how much water pours out the bottom of my bucket? I'm in a five gallon bucket now but Im switching to fabric pots soon.

Get a TDS / PH pen so that way you certain of PPM strength and water / mix PH going in.

If you control that issue there will be no reason to check runoff. Soil 6.5 ( ish ) for full element availability to plant - plus looks like early calmag issue ( fairly common ) but easy to correct.

Plant looks pretty good just ph match plant to the medium ...

I don't have much money for one and this is a budget low tech grow. Any alternatives? Im definitely getting a soil pH pen.

I'm very confused on dosing nutrients and watering the plant. Any videos on this you'd recommend? I got lighting down, temp is good, humidity perfect, I just am confused on how much nutrients to give and how much water to put them in etc. I didn't know anything about this runoff or PPM/TDS stuf

Placing an order now. Should I buy a soil pH meter or a water pH meter?
Im upgrading to fabric pots. What should I buy for the calmag issue? I can see there's like white stuff on the top of the soil.

 

[GrassBurner]

I use CaliMagic, seems to be pretty recommended on here.

Also it seems I've developed some more problems with my plants. Here are some more pictures:

But that soil looks fucked man.

The soil is fucked. Please help what do I do? Is it fungus? This has happened before is it mold? I think it's because the soil isn't getting much air hence why I need the fabric pots.
