Outdoor:

Growing Medium: potting mix/perlite/vermiculite/lime/peat

Growing Style:

Watering/Feeding Frequency: daily

Nutrient Strength (PPM/EC): Unknown probable 'hot' potting mix

I had some early seedlings that iv started outdoors, growth is slow because of the light hours. For three weeks they are dismall.

 

But I have noticed two out of the 5 or so have yellowed leaves on there first true set.

Is it a hot potting mix problem or an over water problem. I started to give very weak nute solution just to see if they pick up but other seedlings at same age are looking vibrant and bigger without any nutes.

at a guess id say hot or even toxic potting mix

there is no way known they need nutrients feed to them at this stage

im sorry to say i think they will die , perhaps a flushing of the soil with lots of plain water

may help ...

id be inclined to start again with whole new quality soil and seeds

Watering/Feeding Frequency: daily

 

Way to much water, hot soil and way too big a pot. I'm inclined to agree with Frazz... start over with a seed raising mix, in small seedling pots and water only when the soil is beginning to dry off.

 

If you want to try and save them, back off on the watering and let the pots dry off (so keep them out of the rain too).

 

Best of luck with it all. lou.

Thanks for your reply guys.

I will monitor them over a couple of days, but not really worried I have others which are double the size and much more vibrant next to them.

I may have just mixed too much potting mix as the other better ones are using similar/same medium.

First grow, mistakes made, learn and move on I guess

hey mate in the first pic i think i can see what looks like that slow release fertiliser? (those little balls) that could be burning em?, i bought one of them cheapo soil ph meters from bunnings (the ones you just stick the prong into the soil) when i was mixing the perlite through that cheap brunnings crap i put the prong in before i planted and the ph was around 7.5 7.8 Mixed up a heap of 6.0phd water and soaked the hell out of the soil...seemed to of brang it down abit...possibly a stupid question...but did you wash your perlite real good before hand? made a mistake of not doing that last year and nearly fried one don't worry mate I'm still on a huge learning curve myself and i love it mistakes are bound to happen

 

anywho the pics in your diary they look healthy as

cheers for the comments, I have just left them to see what they do.

No point trying to nurture when I have plenty of other better stock.
