burn would be more prominent on all the lower fans, if 6.3 is what you ph to what is your runoff ph?

What is the fertilizer? What is its numbers like 10-10-10? Is it a liquid or dry? Does it contain all 6 micronutrients, calcium, sulfur, or magnesium? How much is 1/4 strength...like teaspoons or ml?

What is in your soil mix? Is there dolomite lime or gypsum? (This would provide calcium, magnesium, and sulfur) Are there long term ferts like "last 3 months"?

5.5 run off is way too low. I just went through the same thing but my leaves didn't look exactly like yours. Everyone's going to tell you to flush with ph adjusted water until you run off is 6.5-6.8. That's what they told me so I did it and it worked wonders. I just flushed with tap water since my tap here is about 6.8-7.0

Edit: I just saw your newest post, no need to flush now since they're in new soil. Have you checked the run off in the new soil?

What is organic soil? Is it peatmoss, pinebark, vermiculite? This would be soilless and not really soil. Optimum ph is 5.6 to 6.2 in soilless. So, 5.5 is not that terrible. I hope you did not add too much dolomite lime. You don't want too high a ph and you can't get it out of the mix. You could have added a base to your fert water instead like sodium hydroxide highly diluted (Roebic drain cleaner) or potassium hydroxide.

If you give more details about how much your fert your using and what is in it exactly, I can give you a rate to use. Looks like your simply underfeeding.

Looks like your plants are being burned and may have ph issues from acidic soil........

Black velvet optimum ph for soiless mixture is 5.5 to 6.3

He is soil growing his ph is low but now that he added lime and transplanted he should be alright.

Your plant was being burned and ph was off

1/4 strenth per liter is a lot useally it's 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water

so you were burning them.

No. It's 5.6 to 6.2 :D (According to Texas Tech...Guns up! Go David Reed Go!) Your really under feeding them!

Do the math suckers. :smoker:

The complete guide to sick plants is a total piece of crap. It looks like you copied somebody and don't even know what your typing. Big thumbs down. :no: Learn about plants and be creative with your own thoughts.

Sorry if I'm harsh. It's just like that...

Black velvet I already know who you are and I will not name you out; I think lots of people will be flaming you for saying it's a piece of crap

Come to think about it; how many plants have you grown SC? 0? Go figure with the info you give out l.. now that is a piece of crap!

No wonder you have been banned by several names and so many people flame you because your info is again..... crap.

Sorry if I'm harsh.. I just speak the truth :)
