seedling issues

[vegasguy911]

So im veging 4 g-13 diesel seedlings lighting is good Im using fox farm ocean mix for soil and im having issues that are the same with all 4 babies...the leaves are yellowing around the edges and between the veins but the veins on the leaves remain yellow..i dont think its a nute deficiency i gave it some nute not to much just to see how it reacted and thats all good water nothing dirty or hard,, i have no idea what the hell is going on...also the leaves are getting scattered and few little dead spots like brown and such on them.. what is wrong with my babies this is like my 3rd grow now indoor and i cant figure this out i have the right soil so what the fuck?????

DO NOT FEED THE SEEDS IF YOU BY MIX soil ......
It IS LIKE 1-2 Months OF N N N N NITROGEN SOLI MIX YOU YOUSE
JUST YOUSE WATER
PEACE BRO

Fox Farms Ocean forest Organic Potting Soil is a powerful blend of Pacific Northwest sea-going fish, crab meal, shrimp meal, and plenty of earthworm castings

How old are they and what size pots are they in. My first guess would be overwatering.....

 

[vegasguy911]

the problem was around before i used the nutes. and im watering the same as always..only change is the soil...i dont get it

 

[Maj.PotHead]

whats the waters PH thats being watered to the plants ???

i use FFOF soil right outta the bag n/p and adjust my waters PH to 6.5

if i add ferts i'll add them and then adjust waters PH to 6.5

 

[vegasguy911]

im not sure i dont know how to check or balance PH in soil only now how to do it in hydro...the state is progressing only one seems to be ok and still growing strong...what do you mean when you said "i use FFOF soil right outta the bag n/p and adjust my waters PH to 6.5" what does bag n/p mean.

Mix 1 teaspoon of epsom salts into your water mix. You have a mag def.

 

[vegasguy911]

should i use one teaspoon per gallon or what should the mix be

im pretty sure that FFOF is suppose to have some seashell crap that is suppose to help buffer the ph. I use FFOF but i add 1tbs of dolomite lime per 1 gal soil. Everyones water is different, so assuming your ph will just be fine is a devastating oversight. So in short, dolomite lime will help maintain a normal ph, but you still should be checking the runoff so you can get an idea of whats going on. The more info you have on your setup the more the guru's here will be able to help.

 

[Wiimote]

Yes, one teaspoon per gallon. And like Steaks said, you should have dolomite lime in your soil mix. It helps with you ph and also adds in calcium and magnesium.

 

[vegasguy911]

so your sure that it is a magnesium deficiency? ill definately start chicking though...what could have caused a mag def in such young plants if the soil is good how did it happen..?but as long as ur sure ill do that..ill wait for ur response till i make any actions.

First thing I would do is (based on those pictures) prepair for a transplant to a larger pot. Those plants look like they are ready, and going into fresh soil will give those plants a growth spurt. I also always use dolomite lime with alot of organic soils.

 

[vegasguy911]

yeah i just transplanted them two days ago thats probably why they still look like they needed it...the orange pots are the new ones they started in solol cups...what next....water with the epsom salts and it should be ok?

 

[GanjaSylph]

yes they are diff. due up for trans. Specially the ones in the cups, remember to transplant when the medium is dry. Keep em green =)
