Is This Spontaneous?

Hello brothers,

I have started to first grow about 17 days ago. I use 4x23W CFL lambs: 2700, 4000 and 6500K. And vermicompost. I saw yellowness on just first leafs.

Hi,
No, I don't believe it is spontaneous, but rather, it is causal. Not enough food and the plant turns yellow. Go easy...start weak and gently increase.

Do you mean lights are not enough?

No Lolly,
I'm suggesting that it may be time to add some nutrients to your pot.

I understood. What will happen if i just feed with worm castings?

Lolly,
Worm castings are good...but it appears like it may take more then that. Especially as the plant grows. I take it you're trying to stay organic? There are some good organic balanced nutrients out there. Castings add mostly N and other organic things like Fulvic acid. But weak on P and K.

Yes brother, you are right. But i do not have enough money to get it. I thought that was because of lights.

What do you recommend to me about that, brother?

lolly,
I know cost is an issue for many of us. For now, use the worm castings as a top dressing...maybe an inch thick. Then, as you water, it will carry some of the nutrients deeper into the soil. And regarding nutrients. Bottom line is that the roots can only absorb them in their elemental form. So, in a pinch, almost any plant food will do. Go to a local garden center and buy a small amount of generic plant food and start feeding the plant. Read the directions and maybe cut it in half. Powdered or liquid...doesn't matter. Just don't get anything time released. Keeping the plant alive now is the issue...

Thank you, brother! I give rainwater. I will continue just like you said.

If i can not, never mind...

Lolly,
I hope you can manage to keep it alive. But in any case, you've learned from the plant and next time will go better.
Take care,
JD
