General feedback appreciated

[treedamien]

I had some stretch going on so the light is lowered and we figured out we were over watering so we are going to let them dry out. I was just wanting some feedback on any other issues that anyone might notice. The big plants curling leaves are from over water as well correct? Not sure about the yellowing of the leaves though. The temp is 71 degrees and humidity is 60%. Thanks in advance

Yellowing on the lower leaves is a sign of low N. Curling as in curling how? Shoot us a pic. Drooping leaves indicates over watering as can stretching. A healthy plants leaves will "pray". Reach for the light. Since you had an over watering problem, check the ph of your runoff. You could've leached nutes out of the soil as well as brought ph to an unsavory level. A good idea is to check the ph of your plain water so you'll have a baseline of your water. I have well water and its ph is 7.8 so no way I can water with that without adjusting the ph down. Wait till the pot is light before watering. Once its watered well lift pot to determine its weight, when it's really light it's time to water. Overwatering can also bring in bad bugs like fungus gnats, which the larva will eat the roots.

Thank you kindly dear sir! I'm not bragging but I've been growing fruits and veggies since I was a very little kid and I'm 34 now. My first veggies was tomatoes and moved up from there. On my property i got aprox 40+ trees on 2 acres .and a 100ft x 100ft area I till under for veggies. Peaches, plums, massive pecans, pomegranate, figs, muscidynes (misspelled) young cherry, yellow and red apple, crab apple, american hazelnut, Chinese chestnut. Just to name a few. I'm no stranger to growing at all. Plus I did my research on these plants before I tied into it to learn its quirks

That looks like overwater. Add drain holes to bottoms of cups. For future reference, use peat cups like the ones jiffy makes. The extra water will leach thru the sides like a fiber pot and help it dry effectively. As stated earlier check runoff ph and shoot for a 6. If that's good give a LIGHT feeding of a quality nutrient product like fox farms stuff. These and all plants have learning curve. Overwatering leaches nutes and causes hell for ph levels. Sort the water, and ph and go from there

Ok will do. I did check the PH level of the dirt from one of the plants and water we use for watering and it was 6.5 but that was before watering them. I should still check the run off?

LOL! Let see how they handle that next "so - can I grow 1 lb under my bed with just a flashlight?" question.

The growth tip and those lowest leaves going yellow/shrivelling - it's all looking normal.

But I will wager that the roots are starting to get really cramped at the bottom of those cups. Are you ready to transplant them into their larger pots? I reckon moving them to their larger homes will perk them up again within 48 hours.

I was wondering that myself. I'll get some bigger pots for them. Thanks.

They popped right back after a move to bigger containers. Thanks!

Now they are going. Those ugly yellow/brownish lower leaves will be chucked by the plant in a few more days. You can let 'em fall on their own or you can snip 'em now if you wish. They are no good to her now.

Do you know the volume of her new locale? 2 gallon ... 3 gallon ... Just curious

Yah, ill definitely snip those off. I'm not sure the actual volume. It's just a regular sized folgers coffee container i had on hand. I'm getting ready to move them to 5 gallon buckets in a week or so once the weather clears up, then eventually into the ground.

Seeing your girls green up and reach for the light - that IS the best part of waking up!!

Waiting for the weather to clear? I hear ya!! They keep telling us that it's springtime but here were are on May 9th and morning flurries?

So - I wasn't sure if you were doing a complete indoor grow, hence my curiosity. If you are putting them into the ground in just a few weeks, you could go right from "Mrs. Olson" straight into Mother Earth and skip the transplant to the 5 gallon bucket.

Yeah, I'm biting my nails waiting for springtime this year, the anticipation is killing me!

I would go straight into the ground but they are going into the woods and I want them to be a little bigger first. I'll need them to be mobile until they are ready for their final spot.
