Thanks a lot for the replies everybody. So right now, the deterioration seems to have stopped completely. I'm also seeing some new leaves on the still living plants. Around 3 couldn't make it and died. The rest still have yellow leaves but are not drooping. What's surprising is that the same...
Sorry, I read that ferts could be applied after the 5th node develops, not 4th as I posted earlier. Can someone confirm this? On my most successful plant yet, I didn't use nutes till the 2nd month of veg was over, but it never slowed down or showed any problems of any kind. I want to hold back...
OK, quick update:
Last time I used livechat, people there told me that it was a clear case of nute burn. So what I did was take the plants and (OK, here, you may stop reading, because what follows is an example of sheer stupidity and getting lucky and basically carnage committed agains...
The vermicompost I'm using isn't top notch, that means that it's not all worm castings. It's a fair amount of worm castings mixed with other composted matter. The first time I grew using this method, the plants grew fine. It's this grow (my second) that's giving me so many problems. Could it be...
Here's what I don't get though. My first grow was 17 seedlings. 11 of them managed to grow up healthy before heavy rain killed 2 when they were 6 inches high. The 9 that remained live to grow to 12" before an idiot friend I asked to take care of them left them in heavy rain for 4 days straight...
and vermicompost is basically worm castings with some other composted material. I know for a fact that the nutrient ratio of vermicompost is 1:0:0. What bugs me is that I'm using the same method I used last time, but this time it's failing.
I can't get perlite where I am, do you think coco peat could be a good alternative? because I have that. As far as pulling them out of the soil is concerned, around 3-4 plants, when transplanting had their roots visible as sizeable chunks of soil had fallen off. The rest took the entire root...
Help urgently needed!!!
I'm afraid my seedlings aren't going to make it through the night. I started them in seedling trays after germination in the paper towel. After a week and a half in the seedling trays, I noticed that they seemed to be going yellow and not looking very healthy, drooping...
Hi everybody!
I've been a long time lurker on this forum and I created an account because I'm finally serious about growing. I've had a couple of plants growing under a 110W CFL, 6500K, cool daylight. The light cycle I'm using is 24/0. Initially, I was using a tube light, followed by a 30W...
