Hey everyone,
I'm doing a grow and needed some help on a few things. It has been 10 days since my seedling broke the surface. It was going great until I noticed the end tips of my leaves were getting a bit yellowish/brownish color. I want to save this plant and I know if I caught it early enough it would be possible. Any help and info would be awesome!
Here is a list of everything I've been using in my grow medium:
SOIL- Fafard Organic Potting Mix
LIGHT CYCLE - First 8 days was 24/7 lights on. I just started doing an 20/4 cycle and started hardening off outside for an hour each day (I'm going to increase by 30 mins each day until I'm ready to plant directly outdoors). I should be ready to plant outside in another week (unless you tell me it's ok to transplant sooner).
WATERING- I have been using well water for the watering. My town has really good water, so I don't think that's the problem. I've been watering whenever the soil is dry an inch or two down from the surface. So I doubt the yellowing is due to overwatering.
FERTILIZER- I have a 10-10-10 fert made by Scotts, I have another 19-6-12 made by Expert Gardener (which of these ferts should I start with?) I also have a 10-15-10 for flowering. I applied my first application of ferts 2 days ago. A very very very weak application. I used my fingers and applied one pinch to the plant of the 10-10-10 fert.
Egg Shells- I started giving my plant crushed up egg shells for a Calcium boost. I only gave it one application of this so far. The first application of egg shells was given to the plant 4 days ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys! I uploaded a few pics so you could see what I'm talking about.
So my questions are; What is the cause for the end tips of my leaves turning yellow? When should I go ahead and transplant directly outside? Which fert should I start with?
Thanks!
