This is my first grow ever. Thanks to you guys for the inspiration for me to go ahead and start my own. But I am still learning and seeking some guidance from the gurus. I have a strawberry cola fast feminized seed I’ve planted I’m on week 6 running the GH Flora Series and been doing a medium feed for the past two weeks. But still seems to show signs of deficiency. I literally just transplanted today from 6” peat pots to 5 gallon fabric pots and used great white on the roots to reduce stress and stimulate them going into their final home. I always make sure I’m on point with my pH which is 5.8 because I’m using coco coir Royal Gold Tupur to be exact. I planted my Hulkberry the same exact day and been doing all the same things and it’s showing the same exact signs. I’m gonna post pics below. First two are the Strawberry Cola, the second two will be the HulkBerry. Please help me if you can.
The drooping leaves are from the soil being a bit too wet. Let the soil dry out a bit. They’ll perk up when you do.
Thanks man! Is it ok to pluck the yellowed out leaves on the bottom or just let them naturally fall off if they do?
You can remove damaged leaves any time you want.
I would disagree on this. If you start removing leaves and haven’t fixed your nutrient issue, you end up losing more and more leaves until the issue is fixed. Especially detrimental to young and small plants, like what OP has posted.
I’m having a hard time getting things under control for sure. I’m not sure if it’s a potassium deficiency or nutrient burn the symptoms of the leaves look very similar. I’m not sure if I should water with nutrients this time or just 5.8pH water. I just don’t want to stunt the growth to bad I have a feeling they’re already smaller to be their age.
They look over watered and nitrogen hungry. If you just transplanted, that may fix the nitrogen hunger. Of not then certainly feed them.
When young in big pots (and typically for all my plants) I practice an outer edge around the pot (or in young cases around the plant itslef). Objective being when young make the roots grow to the water when plants are older watering outer and leaving center not fully watered allows for more oxygen and gives you a buffer so that you don’t over water.
Gets way easy once you get the practice locked down
