hi all, i’m new to growing and have noticed last week that some of the new growth was turning yellow. well a week has passed and i feel i’m not finding out the issue! i don’t have a ppm reader to read the runoff. but i ph all my water and nutrients i put in it to around 6.5. they are currently in 5 gallon pots of coastal maine raised garden bed mix (i figured it would work for now and wouldn’t hurt the pocket, as i got it from the amish) i used flora trio +CALMAG. the flora trio i run at 1/2 tsp a gallon and the calmag 1 tsp a gallon. the seed is sour diesel from seedsman seeds. (i haven’t really seen many people have this genetic either which scares me) they were started as seeds may 12th!

I feel you started feeding too early and gave them painted nails or nute burn. Your soil was probably capable of feeding it several weeks before needing any nutes. Mabey plain water for a couple waterings.

I’m growing sour d right now. It’s quite sensitive to over feeding even by a small amount. Keep it lighter than what the nutrient manufacturer says (especially without a ppm read) less is more. You can’t kill a plant by under feeding but you can with over feeding.

It almost looks like a sulfur deficiency. Do you know your runoff pH/ppm??

Doesn’t sulphur deficiency start at the back of the leaf rather than at the tips?
I agree though it looks like some sort of magnesium/sulphur uptake issue.

If you supplement you need the correct instruments for handling it. A TDS meter is pretty cheap.
Nute excess is what is going on right now.

thanks! i’m going to look into one now. could you reference any that won’t break the budget but still work pretty well?
thanks! glad to hear someone else is growing it. i’m going to just plain water for a couple of times to see if that will kick it back on track hopefully!
i do not. i need to invest into one of them readers though. i will be buying one online within the next couple of days!
I use Aquamaster tools P110 ph and EC pen but they’re really only on the European market as far as I’m aware.
It’s a good tool though if you can get your hands on one. Around 60 bucks and the sensors are replaceable for about 20 bucks.

There’s a bunch of different ones. They all do a decent job.
