something wrong wit my plants???

[KingWyrm420]

my plants are about 2 week old and this one's leaves are begginning to yellow....i have added no nutes yet

 

[lucky182]

First off what kind of soil is that!? 2nd what's the ph?

L

 

[KingWyrm420]

its a mix of worm castings and miracle grow potting soil
the ph is a 6.9

 

[lucky182]

Well first off.. Your soil is probably too "hot" for them.. But what do I know I've never used a miracle grow product in my life... 2nd of all the ph is way too high.. bring it down to around 6-6.3

how do i bring the ph down in soil?

With a bottle of ph down... Nitric acid or phosphoric acid for bloom.... In that small of a case lemon juice would even work..

ok i will get some lemon juice this weekend
how do they look so far tho?

 

[mockingbird131313]

I suggest you buy a gallon of distilled water and add two teaspoons of white vinegar. Shake it up, and flood the pots. This will bring down the ph. Some people believe that lemon juice reacts with some cannabis strains. Vinegar works for me.

Then let the soil dry for 6-10 days.

Hmmm what kind of reaction? I guess it's possible.... But ya vinegar is good also..

Some people say that citric acid is a cannabis-killer. I have no first hand knowledge of this. Some people say that white vinegar is "dangerous". I have never found it to be a problem. Plus, it is cheap to use. I also like Miricle-Gro Azalea bloom food. It promotes blooms in acid loving plants. Seems to work for cannabis, and it is cheap.

good ta know... but I "mostly" do hydro and I always use proper up n' down... if i run out i use whatever though....

ok thanks

i got my ph lowered but while working with my plants i remembered that when transplanting it in the roots a paper towl was caught(dont know how it got there) neways i carefully removed it but i was wondering if the yellowing in the leaves was because the plant was rootbound?

Nope not yet they are too small to have a serious prob like that, and 2nd of all if the paper sticks a bit don't remove it... yu'll do more damage then good.. It'll grow thru it.. or it already has..

[KingWyrm420]

well the root didnt grow through the root just stopped growing so i carefully removed it already....but i lowered the ph today as well so hopefull she will start looking more green

 

[lucky182]

Kinda depends what miracle grow you used. You should only use Miracle grow moisture control soil thier other soils always have issues. Then you watr the plants with ph 6.8 water and add no nutes.
