Think I'll just chill with everything for a couple days. I watered today a little bit with very low strength nutes. Maybe 1/5 strength. If it continues to get worse, Ill leave it to know that it was nute burn and wont use nutes until gets better.

Last thing you want to do is give it nutes in MG soil at this point, you simply need to wait, and not water to much, let em dry out

everytime you water in MG soil you release more nutes which will continue to make things worse

very important to not overwater no matter what but with MG becomes seriously important!!!

a few of my seedlings leaves yellowed cos of heat stress.... wot sort of temps u got goin?

also, when a plant flowers the fan leaves usually turn yellow, its the flowers pulling nutirents from the surrounding leaves... not sure if your plant is old enough to be doin this yet but jus a thought!

Okay lil update... Plant is yellow and burnt on the bottom I am certain due to nute burn. The top leaves were perfectly fine... until I checked today. Seems to be random brown spots on upper leaves. Idk if that is nute burn. But it doesn't look good. I think its around 75-85 degrees max. No higher I would say. But Idk what to do... everything was going fine until the yellowing started... ill post pics up asap

First two pics were taken on sunday. Things looked okay other than nute burn on bottom.
Second two pics were taken today. With brown on the top leaves. I looked up pics and could be boron deficiency? Anyone else's thoughts? Please help!! I do not want this to die!! :sad:

Please remind me what soil and nutes you are using, looks like a ph lock out to me

also tell me your ph

MG Potting Mix w/ Perlite, MG Peat Moss, and MG Bone Meal.

pH was recorded at 6.8 with electronic pH tester so I do not know how accurate that is.

Only things that I have added to water was MG Bloom Booster and that was at 1/4 strength one time, MG All Purpose and that was one time, and then Black Strap Molasses which again was one time.

How much of the MG peat did you add to the potting mix?

when was the last time you watered and how many days between watering?

sorry for the questions but this is a tough one

I put half of the two liter bottle with potting mix. then split the rest up between bone meal, perlite, and peat moss. I watered today buy not a lot. Just a couple foliar sprays and a couple sprays on top of the soil. I watered last Thursday with 1/5 strength Bloom Booster nutes.

Do you have the means to buy a bigger pot and more soil?

I believe the fix is going to be a transplant

Yes I have a bigger pot. I just need to get soil. I have a hydroponics store about 25 min away and Lowes literally 2 min away. What soil should I get that isn't too expensive? And I need to know how to transplant properly so I do not eff this up!

Ok so go to Lowes and get some Espoma (stay away from anything that says moisture control or time released)

normally I would say soak the pot before transplant but this time is different you want to not only pay attention to how the roots look (post a pic if you can) but also gently shake any of the lose medium off (don't touch or brush the roots)

why?,,,,so others can learn

what you did was add peat to a peat based potting mix, the PH of peat is 4.5 when they use it in a soiless mix they amend it with Dolomite to offset the low PH (Dolomite raises PH and buffers over time) My guess is that enough time has gone by to offset the ability of your mix to buffer your PH properly and the peat has taken over. Indication of this is how the viens in your leaves turned a bright yellow in a manner of days plus the fact that damage is at the top (in new growth)

transplanting will give your plant a chance to recover but it will take several days

I would also get some Dolomite and add 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil to your new mix as this will help buffer what peat you still have attached to the root ball

I don't think lowes carries the potting mix. Should I just go to the hydro store and get some roots organics or FF?
