How are you people?

Newbie here, love the site, haven't really had time to browse around and get all the answers needed.

I know these questions have been asked a million times before, here goes one million one and more (this is an emergency)...

First, the scenario.

Started from seed, evil strain, organic grow, MG potting soil, indoors, fluorescent lighting (2- 48" T-12's Red Spectrum for plants and aquariums) 18 on 6 off (with outdoor rotation for natural sunlight whenever possible. Every day she is put outdoors during daylight, then brought in at dusk and put under the fluorescents for the remainder of the lighting cycle) plenty of water, fan blowing, 74 degrees average temp, about 40 to 60% humidity, plenty of ventilation.

Problem, yellowing leaf.

Just 1 week old, was fine till yesterday, just one of the leaves now turning yellow, getting progressively worse. Too much water? Lack of nutrients? Too much light? Wrong light? Need help quick, will send Special Brownies if successful in above mentioned endeavor ;) Happy New Year!!


1 other thing may be of critical importance. She started in a store bought herb planter, the one made of cardboard, had Basil growing in it, took the Basil out, kept the same medium in, topped off about 1/2 inch with MG potting soil. Still in that setup, was fine till yesterday.

2nd other thing, she was only lightly misted from a spray bottle till 2 days ago. When she was taken in, it was noticed that the soil was dried out. She was then watered till slight runoff at the bottom, she's been kept plenty moist since then. Wrong?

???!!!

It's referred to as "She" too soon to tell, wishful thinking, positive energy, Karma, whatever the fuck ;)

Yellow of leaves wouldn't be caused by overwatering. It's most likely nutrient related but I wasn't sure if you were giving it nutes already.

I think too much nutrients. Everyone says MG is a bag choice of soil.
Here's the thing. It started life in a store bought container that once housed Basil. The basil was removed, the basil soil was topped off with about 1 inch of MG potting soil, no additional nutes. So in a sense, it's not really growing in a planter full of MG (then again, there is no way of knowing what the local nurseries are using as medium. Maybe it is in a potful of MG?) It hasn't been given any additional Nutes. No way of telling if it's getting too much or too little.

If it is in fact sitting in a medium that is slowly killing it because of too much or too little Nutes, would it be safer left there till Wed or would it be better off in a fresh pile of Peat? (the rate of yellowing has been gradual over 2 days, only 1 leaf, it may survive till then) The only thing that is readily available till Wed (new years, everything closed) is a fresh bag of Peat Moss, should It be switched? Transplant it?

When this thing was first planted, it grew like a madfucker. From seed, it took less than 12 hours to shed it's skin and then less than 24 hours to break the soil surface. Sick.. It grew like a madfucker for about 4 days, bright green. After It was watered down (TAP WATER, watered till run-off from the bottom of the planter) the yellowing started. Tap water bad?

I know, I'm a dumbfuck..

Right now it's a cute little thing, only about 1-1/2 to 2" inch long, should It just be left alone?

Come Wed, a remedy can be had, for now, the 2 options are Peat or Prayer. What would you do?

One last thing, if it survives till Wed, what should be done then? What is the best Medium/Nute that can be had for this little Badkid?

Sorry for all the Noobery, better than Robbery, Yes/No? (I Hate thieves, should have their limbs hacked off)

You guys have been great! A few days ago, a few of you helped saved the life of a very beautiful, very powerful young lady. She comes from Royalty, her lineage is superb and now she thrives, back from the brink of death.. Thanks to you people!!

Hoorah to all of you, be it Crispy Eyed, Bookworm, Southern Mountain Hill Ass, sitting in front of the computer stuffing your face with Bologna Sandwich Ass Mutha Fuckas!! Whoever you are I fucking love you!!

Peace in the Middle East me Breddas and Sistas!! HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR!!

HAHAHA!!!! You forgot the whole "I'm at one with nature" as an excuse for not shaving types.. The ones that are hairier than my grandmothers lip!!

Answers are still needed folks! Last night she was moved to Peat, today she has gotten worse. No nutes in Peat Yes/No? No good nutes have been located today.

Epsom salt was just added as a last ditch attempt. 2 Pinches of Epsom was dissolved in a cup of warm tap water and added. Should she be watered down after the Epsom salt bath? Should the lights be shut off?

God save this Queen!! God make her a queen!!

Off the subject, I had some fudgepusher try to stick his hand down my pants last night in a club. I almost slugged him. Had to let it go..There were too many of him there. I thought, if I hit this Gay, his Gay army will roll up and do God knows what.. Maybe try to push in the Fudge (against my will of course) <shudders> I figured best play it cool. I turned and said "No No No!" while motioning with my finger back and forth the way you would reprimand a Deviant child for pissing in the cookie jar.

Anyway, PLEASE HELP! Someone please give step by step "Noobstylistic" instructions on how to save her!! She needs your helppitch in as a community.. As a community Godamnit!!


Did the Epsom salt seal her fate as a deadwoman?
