They sprouted about 2 1/2 weeks ago, is this a deficiency? Should I start with nutes?

It is in "roots organic soil" and I have just been watering it when it gets dry. I have nutes ready to go at 1/2 the recommended dose.

start using nutes in small dosages every time you water up to the full recommended dosage Id put like 1/4 of what the bottle suggests then next water 2/4 then 3/4 then 4/4....Looks like a N deficiency

You think a plant that young could have suckh a violent N deficiency? Doesn't seem likely.

I know roots organic is a soil that expects a light fertilizing but that does not look like hunger to me, but mine have always been green at that point. Is that the original cup? There are drain holes, right. When did yellowing start.

I've never seen a babe that young struggle like that because of low N, regardless of the soil type. What would perlite have to do with N? Fill me in bro.

IMHO that plant does not have N deficiency...If that were my baby I would likely start here:

Then I would also go here:

I would also look here:

Up pot it. Put it in a bigger pot, like 1 gallon at least and leave it be for a bit. Use the roots if you have it.



To those that don't know, you don't need a lot of perlite in organic soil. I hardly use any. Organic matter, especially humus and compost are light and provide drainage.
