livebytheleaf Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 the most common defect is nitrogen burn or overwatering so get some nitrogin into it and only water when surface is dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaikai Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 dont spose youve got some mites mate?...if not, try a bit of foliar feed. if that picks them up, feed em. tip for mums, instead of root trimming, put 2-3" of clay balls in the bottom of the pot. every couple of weeks, you tip the plant out of the pot about 1/2" and put it back in again...it works. other than that, keep em growing healthy and change them soon as you see any changes you dont like (pre flowering, etc...). too easy JAIKAI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Have you checked the PH level of your new soil mix? Also, unless you have somewhere else to get your clones you should try taking a few from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
