Looks to me like you started feeding too soon after you transplanted.

Sounds about right, I fed the first watering after transplant. The yellowing problems seem to be resolving at this point. LA Woman was "clawing" at some tips 2 days ago along with the Chocolope. Yesterday I fed them all straight distilled..no junk in it, and LA has straightend up. I plan to feed them straight distilled again next watering and hopefully the Chocolope will respond. I will post some pics in my journal tommrow for comparison. Thanks for the response bro.

I think I'm looking at the very beginning of a pH issue. Potassium seems to be in short supply. Generally this is linked to a Magnesium related issue, which ultimately is related to an electro-chemical balance with phosphorus.

You are taking the right course of action, but you need to make sure you have your pH in line, so if you can get a read out from the run off of the pure water through the soil. If this is below 6.0 you're definitely in trouble. Also, what kind of soil are you using there? If it's miracle grow that could be contributing to the problem.

Yeah, with soil, you have about four weeks of nutrients to feed off of in the beginning. You don't need to add anything until after then. Sometimes even longer.

Start flushing a bit and see if that helps you out.

It's far too easy to over nute, isn't it? And it's far harder to under-nute.



Eh, you live, you learn. Good luck with the next one..........

Thanks bro. I'm not counting them out yet though. Check out my journal or photo almum. There are pics from yesterday in there. I plan to update tommrow as well.
