Help, I'm a newbie

[biscroto]

Hello everyone,
I am a first-time grower and would appreciate it if anyone could give me a hand. I have 2 plants:
- 3 weeks old
- in soil
- outdoor

However, 1 of the 2 plants started having the bottom leaves turn yellow, and when I looked it up I guessed Nitrogen deficiency. 3 days ago I gave Nitrogen-based water fertilizer, however it didn't help.

Today I started seeing that the rest of the leaves started yellowing too, but only on the edges, not like the bottom leaves, which yellowed throughout the entire leave at once.

Can anyone explain to me how to fix this problem?

Give a full spectrum fertilizer. There can be whats called nuttient lockout, and a over dose of one can cause a lockout of another. Use some thing with n, p, and k, at first. I use a low nitrogen tertilizer when plants are done growing and are in bloom, but thats another story.

Ok, but the yellowing started even before I gave nitrogen, so I don't know if nutrient lockout is the problem

So its still yello? Are you seeing any new growth?

 

[biscroto]

The growth didn't stop and is actually growing fast, but the yellow leaves is getting worse, the top leaves are also yellowing quite fast.

Keep the soil pH between 6.2 and 6.8 and you won't have too much nutrient lockout. As for yellowing leaves, just increase
your nutrient feeding a little and eventually you'll only have green leaves. Go slow because the last thing you want to do is
add too much nutrients and fry your plant. Make sure also that the light isn't too close.

You said outdoors yet the pic shows a container with some type of soil ? Is this planted in the ground or ?? Use a balanced fert as mentioned. Hell if nothing else use Tomato Tone or some kind of liquid fish fert like Alaskan or Neptunes Harvest.

I strongly recommend consuming a full 5 gallons of information *before* each inch of plant growth.

Fortunately you're in the right place. Start reading all of the stickies in the soil and outdoor sections. As soon as you finish those, you'll be able to ask much better questions and get quicker/more-helpful responses.

Switch back to plain water, properly pH'd, while you read up a bit. Your plant will be ok.
