Hi, I am new to this growing malarky. I have been guided by a friend so far, but they are away at the mo. They had a very successful grow with the same seeds (ak47).
I started them in small pots on the windowsill for the first 27days. I have now transferred to 5gallon pots in a wardrobe with lights and fan.
They are 30 days old now. They grew 3-5inches in first 2 wks. But the last 2wks ony 1-2 inches. Then, after only 3 days of being in the wardrobe they suddenly withered, curled and went yellow.
I have been researching what could be wrong but i cant figure it out. Most likely nitrogen/under or over watering. I would be sooo grateful for some help!
My first thought was that they had not been watered enough (as i was wary of over-watering them!) and had got too hot. So i watered them more and left them another day. They now look even sadder and the leaves are getting dry and 'crunchy'.
The soil is PH 6-7 so i dont think its a nitrogen prblem?
I have been watering them aprox. 1/2 litre per pot per day. When they were on the window i was watering aprox. 1/2 cup per pot per day, I really dont have a clue what im doing as i cant get online alot!
Also, these new pots dont have holes near enough to the bottom so i am watering from above. whereas with the small pots i watered from below. would this make a difference? or the change from sunlight on windowsill to very hot light in small space? Not enough air flow perhaps?
Oh, and I am using a mix of normal/Miraclegrow compost and perlite.
Please help me and my sad plants
I am so confused!!
Photos for you.......
Thank you!!!!!! kiss-ass
