yeah i flushed it before i transplanted then when i transplanted i gave it one more plain water and an iron spray and then just today i gave it an iron spray and a grow big fert solution.
The Ocean Forest has tons of nutes in it already, you probably could have put off using the growbig for a of couple weeks, that MG organic(i have used and trans into Happy Frog) gets real soggy and stays wet, whats your PH look like? let that soil dry out a bit, if you have been keeping that young root system too wet, you may starve it of oxygen and inhibit the nutrient uptake simply put, if theres too much water down below it will push out the oxygen...please keep in mind if thats fresh Ocean forest soil, you wont need the nute solution

OMG!!!, stop all that feeding! everyone here always says to use 1/4 to 1/3 the labels recommended strength, how old is that plant? what method do u use to check the PH?

Just leave it alone for a while. If its planted in fresh FFOF it should turn around. Don't feed it now - there is plenty of organic nutrient readily available to the plant from the FFOF. Be sure to pH check your water.

yeah ebay has dual PH/TDS meter for soil for like $20

There it is :D
ELECTRONIC SOIL PLANT GARDEN TESTER ANALYZER pH N-P-K - eBay (item 270291935609 end time Nov-22-08 18:41:14 PST)

Since the plant is bigger I'd say maybe 2 weeks or 1.5 unless somebody else with more experience says diff
i just got a milwaukee PH Digital tester for 25 bucks with shipping included, my local hydro store wanted 250 for that plus an EC TDS tester...these local hydro stores are such thieves....that PH tester should be at the TOP of your to buy list ...this guy has everything for dirt cheap

looks like general nute lockout from PH.
a thing you can do is search for water quality tests on your area to find out the Ph of the water. use google.

some yellowing here but no real problemSAM_0681.jpgSAM_0683.jpgSAM_0682.jpg

I am using a soil mixture 50% miracle grow potting soil, 20% earthgrow organic potting soil, 20% organic compost, 5% sand and 5% perlite mixed with a shake of osmocote 19-6-12 and a dash of E.B.Stone's organic tomato fertilizer 4-5-3. Watered with distilled H20 only. Have had great results using Schultz plant food plus 10-15-10, and might use this during late stages of veg.

You have to know the ph of both your medium and your water... Otherwise it's a trainwreck in progress...
