I know your right is that causing my issues??
They been in the soil 6 days now already and i let the soil get completely dry the 3rd day bone dry still was drooping and the shoots are getting yellow and new growth also
Soil felt dry when i dried it with a fan but must've stll been wet glad i found my meter today these plants are full of water...
soil is much more forgiving than any hydro system when it comes to ph .. but optimal lvls should be between 6.3 and 6.8. At 7.5 ph , Iron and Manganese absorption it will be greatly decreased. Iron its very important in the newer growth and often plants in alkaline soil shows iron defiency . Also iron can't be translocated like some other nutrient and micro nutrients. so the plant can't take from on part to another. and also its a very low mobility nutrient.don't know if 7.5 is too high in soil as the soil ph and go up and down depending on how wet or dry the soil is and the heath of the roots mass but tbh I don't know much about this
i dont know , whats your water ph ? do you check it before you water ? and yes that soil may be alkaline i dont know itNever had this problem with the regular jiffy potting soil is it this soil??
