Hi there
First I read all sorts of plant advice from threads with the same topic: Seedlings with yellow leaves.
Most of the time overwatering seems to be a problem, or too many nutrients in that stage (correct me if I am wrong...). In my case I am pretty sure this is not the reason.
On my images you see one plant with yellow leaves, two other plant which have more or less the exact same growing conditions (just different strains).
Here the facts:
- Growing outdoors on balcony. Definitely a lot of light (8–16/17)
- Sprouted in coir pellets, then replanted in plagron growmix, after root started to come out at the bottom
- Definitely checked the watering, not every day, plant never seemed to droop.
- Because I grow them outdoors the temperature range is quite big on my balcony. It gets pretty hot if the sun is out. (a thermometer lying in the sun gets up over 40 degrees celsius. So I thought that is definitely too much (although the other two plants did not seem to have cared too much). I repositioned them in a spot where there is some wind going and the sun is not heating up the stone slabs underneath. Temperature during the day is probably around 15-25 ° celsius. At night, I always check, it does not go below 0°, it stays around 8°. The strain with the yellow leaves also should be able to handle colder temperature.
- All three plants seem to have a solid growth and don't look sick otherwise.
- the plant with the yellow leaves is a Blue Dream strain
So I really would like to hear your opinion:
- Why would the one plant be so different from the others
- Do you think it is rather a temperature thing (which I started to improve a week ago, but the plant still produces yellow leaves) or
- could it be due to too many nutrients (the growing medium (growmix by Plagron) is prefertilized for three weeks. The plant spent the first 5-7 days in the coir pellet only...
- Or is it a completely other reason, you could think of?
Thank you all for your advice.
cheers
