hi new grower Kraut - welcome aboard ne growship os

 

El Gato & %20i n d oo r_c ult iv8 r%20 got it right & re-interpretating and restating Frazz "The more information you give the better chance others have to help out" .......thanks for the link to your mix (Vegetable & Herb Mix).

 

 

Now on to save your plants ........first early signs of nute burn is "rams-horning" (upcurling leaves, darkening, then crisping followed by death) - don't give up as Nitty says "Where there is green there is life". It is a very comon newb mistake. Your first mistake was one of choice - a medium (compost/dirt) - that fertalizer (slow release) impregnated mix is not what you need to suceed. The good aspect is that compost/dirt mixes are very forgiving and generally you will get plenty of time to react. The opposite is true of the grow style "Hydro". So you have time to fix the problem you have created. If you can't afford to investin some good potting mix, or Coco to repot then a Flush is in order however you are never going to get the 'balance' needed in the medium i think. But if you go down the Flush non-replacement road then think about not over doing the flush side too much - then again don't under-doo it either.

 

1) When in doubt .................."F L U S H"

 

As a note ....... you can expect to loose more leaves to "kark it" and a good 10 days+ to recover - (Things get worse before they get better). They are young plants so will be thrown into survival mode where the force is strongest, but they with the right attention can survive ..... Your new growth will be unnaffected but the plant is chokein (nute lock out). Fix by flushing - an art that all growers learn - welcome to the best hobbie 'bud'.

 

Grow &Flush well Kraut

Stay away from cheap shit potting mix full of pine bark

use some good quality seed raising mix without fertalizer

let your water settle for at least 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate

start off with some seasol or similar at 1ml per liter

Good luck

If you want persist with soil i would use canna terra and the nutes that go with it .

 

But i would get a bag of Premium Coco from a hydro shop and some coco nutes .

Dont get a cheap block of coco from bunnings either , make your grow easy and get the right shit !

yep the guys are right, new soil or coco would be best to rectify the situation .... as has been said flushing maybe only a temporary solution at remedy , for the reasons given above (the soil is the problem)

 

go for new soil or coco and you can transplant gently, dig plant out of soil and support rootball in your hand, then immerse rootball in a bucket of clean water and gently allow soil to fall away from roots before removing and carefully spreading roots out in new coco or soil, try not to break too many roots though some damage is un-avoidable

 

plants are strong and should pick-up within a couple of days of transplant and take off

 

all the best with it

 

remember if you get coco you will also need coco specific nutrients as coco has no nutrients in it
