cannot figure this one out.

can someone please help me with this. cant seem to figure it out. shes in jiffy seedling soil with perlite and a little dolomite lime along with a little blood meal. no nutes added. just did a flush a couple days ago.

Its something in the soil in my opinion.

like what? does anyone else have any opinions? i believe it could be a phosphorus problem. do not know if it is a lock out since i dont have a ph tester. but there is dolomite lime to stabilize the ph around 6.5 i havent feed her anything lately. i will try tomorrow when the lights come on since she is still pretty moist from the flushing.

what kind of soil are you using?
how much water do you give it?

shes in jiffy seed starter. which is peat, verm, perlite, some dolomite lime and some bloodmeal

~How long in that pot? How old is the plant. What PH have u been giving it and what type of water?

It could just be the PH which is out.

looks like a phosphorous def.

its been maybe a week in the pot. i didnt have dolomite lime in the soil before so i transplanted her into this pot with some dolomite lime. dont know the ph of the water. or the soil. i plan on getting a tester today. i use r/o water from this water store near me. its has a 8 level cleansing thing. something like that.

i will be adding some this afternoon. hopefully it is only a phosporous problem not a soil ph.

If ur using RO then u need to add a bit of Ca & Mg to buffer it. The nutes will have all the NPK u need so why not let it dry out and then start wi a mild/weak veg fert. Don't add anuthing else to the soil it will be too rich - especially in the first couple of weeks.

i normally ad cal-mag just didnt when i flushed. get a ph reader. and dont know if it is correct or not. but tested it in water and then added lime to the water and the meter seems to work. just dont know if its accurate. but my soil says that its at a ph of right around 7... not good. dont know how to bring it down any suggestions? i read that high ph normally doesnt lock out phosphorous unless its like 8 or higher. so maybe all she does need is some nutes.
