OK here's my situation thus far.
Right now I am using a totally organic program..roots organics to be exact everything they say to do accoridng to the feeding schedule minus the organism (I forgot and I only/am only doing one transplant) The only other substances that I"m using is dolomite lime...I have three plants and my PH after the transplant was in the toilet (3.
so I bought a five pound bag of dolomite and with some great advice I got on here and the hydro store decided my best option was to make a ring around the perimeter of each plant in their new 12'' diameter pots. These pots hold about 2 gallons so their was quite a bit of dirt so I fiugred that the dolomite was good to go along with added dirt on top of it. I am on the week 3-4 cycle of the Roots Oranics and using full strength. Went with double the amount of fluid (nutes mixed with water and PH'd to about 6.7) went from 5 cups in a 3/4 quart container to 10 cups in two gallon I think this was my first immediate mistake, I went down to 8 cups last feeding and two days ago I did a 3.5 gallon flush per plant still no improvement (I actually think they look worse.
So I'm thinking this is either one of three things, 1) Nute burn seems obvious however after you see the pics you'll notice the leaves curl down and in in a claw shape. Which leads me to my second (and possibly a non issue this is my first grow) but it could be a Potassium deficiency...after looking at tables on here re: the problem of leaf curl and singed edges seems logical..looked at some pics as well...quite possible.
The only other thing I think it MAY be is the lights are too close...For lights I am running one 2 ft 4 tube T5 fixture. The lights are about 3 inches from the top of the plant did the hand test didn't feel too hot.
Any other questions feel free to ask me...temps are in the constant low to mid 70's
