2nd grow and deficiency problems


Recommended Posts

Hi :)

 

Not sure if this helps but I use Osmocote Organics Plus soil too when growing in pots with 3/6 mths slow release fertiliser in outdoor pots.

 

What I found was that it needed extra fertiliser and like you, I used seasol but also powerfeed half strength about once a week or a fortnight, depending on how the plants are looking (some recommend the purple powerfeed, I used the red one) and epsom salts occasionally when looking a bit pale.

 

Also, I sprinkle More Osmocote Organics Plus slow release fertiliser on top of the soil, beneath the mulch layer I have on top - a few times during the grow season...the soil needs more of these ferts (seasol, powerfeed & slow release) in pots - more regularly than recommended but not as strong eg half dose.

 

Because of watering above soil, much of the nutrients run to waste and the plant doesn't get what it needs.

Maybe the issue although interesting the other 3 plants supposedly on same regime as these ones are doing ok.

All the best :)

 

edit: also as already mentioned above, I'd be checking you're not over watering

Okay thanks

Were they heavy prior to watering before?

 

Hello Sir, I cannot remember, but I would say they were. They are not drooping like they are water logged. I watered the plants on Friday and they are still heavy now.

 

There were more dying yellow leaves that I removed a few days ago. You can see the other 3 plants are looking fine.
