the colour being lighter at times is probably down to the plant struggling to take nutrients. plant problems can be quite hard to diagnose as the symptoms are always the same.. namely, discoloration and often necrosis.

that's why a guy earlier in this thread was all over the place with his diagnosis, although how he arrived at pH i'll never know. For example... over fertilising will actually cause a K deficiency. so how are you meant to distinguish whether what you are seeing is a k deficiency brought about by not feeding enough, or a K deficiency from feeding too much? there is a way, but i don't want to get into it here. just an example of how difficult it can be to diagnose symptoms.

You've definitely over-watered in the beginnning and starved the roots from getting nutes. your new mix should also be mixed loose... don't compact the soil in there as this will cause nutrient transport problems too. also don't allow the soil to dry out too much as this will definitely slow down K... so there you see that even drought will give a K deficiency symptom first. K is a bit of a bitch. feel the weight of the pot, get used tot he feeling of full and empty, only water when the pot feels light enough. you will know as soon as you lift it.

THANX SKUNK......IT REALLY IS HARD TO DIAGNOSIS.

@ IZOC...okay i remember talking, maybe to u, about the dolomite. i'll pick that up this week. can i get that at home depot or lowes...if not i'll try a gardening place in my hood.

best wishes........joey

looks like you got this probably a soil thing. just use your nute correct and dont water very often. and if you are still gonna transplant throw some perlite into your soil.

u mean buy a bag of perlite and use more....b/c the MG. has it.....but i will do that until i get another better organic soil and use, maybe foxfarm, and get the coco fiber that MESA was talking about. wait till u see the pics now.

IT'S AMAZING THAT IN 1,2,3 DAYS THAT THESE PLANTS GROW SO WELL (not all) BUT SOME......im going to post the latest pics right now.....gimmie a min. thanx legalizeit!!!! :)

ehhh, here is a quote from a site.

its a coconut!!! lol, no seriously your growing in a coconut.

hahah no I'm fucking with you, it is coconut, but its the husk, called coco coir.

Need an organic boost for your soil? Coco Fiber is an excellent way to increase the water absorbing power of potting soil, while also protecting against harmful bacteria and promoting organic farming. These coco fiber soil amendments are widely used for hydroponics, soil mixes, and container planting.

Coco Pith (also known as Coir) is a natural byproduct of coconut plantations. It's a renewable resource with several advantages over peat moss. It holds water without any additives, and absorbs water evenly without any beading on the surface. Coir also has more nutrients, a neutral pH balance, and remains effective for up to 5 years.

This coco brick is free from seeds and pathogens. They naturally inhibit infection from Pithium and Phtothora and increase the carbon exchange capacity of your yard. This property helps plants get the carbon that they need to develop strong stems and recover from bug damage. Potting Soil made from Coconut Fiber is an excellent amendment for clay soils because it helps loosen up the compact ground and increase water retention.

Moving plants from place to place can be harsh on their roots. It takes a little bit of extra care to help them survive the transition from growing trays into pots and from pots into your yard. You can transplant and pot plants with confidence using premium coconut fiber.

Why is Coco Fiber better than Peat Moss?

Coco Fibers resist compacting and retain water year after year. It also is organic and promotes sustainable harvesting on palm plantations. On the other hand, using Peat Moss damages the ecosystem. Peat moss deposits are slow to recover from mining because Peat bogs are similar to coral reefs: each brick that's harvested can take up to 2,000 years to grow back!

Peat moss requires a chemical additive to absorb water, sheds water until the surface is saturated, and compacts easily. Peatmoss is also acidic - it has a pH value of about 4. Peat moss can acidify the soil, scorch roots, and wilt leaves. Peat moss bricks often contain a variety of debris, including sticks and stones. You never know what you'll find in a peat bog!

Coconut Fiber is a proven growing medium. It's a natural alternative to mined peat moss and outperforms most of the popular brands of peat and sphagnum peat. Cocopeat has a high content of lignin and cellulose. These components are ideal for growing mushrooms and other plants that require soil rich in cellulose. Choose coconut fiber bricks to boost the health of your plants and help the environment too!

Technical Details: 10.25 lbs of Coco Fiber (4.6 kg)
Makes 2.5 cu ft of potting medium
Excellent for potting, raised bed planting, and landscaping
100% Organic

i grow in soil and my plants always look healthy and yield big.i never have problems growing in soil.and coco wont boost the health of your plants alone.using good nutrients and additives will.try growing in coco using none and see what happens.if you use a good quality soil,like plagron light mix,along with good nutrients,you shouldnt have any problems.
