Please ignore my previous post..those pics are from an earlier grow that obviously didn’t go well. These new pics are where I need help..Spider farmer 200, natures living soil in coco, and 1 teaspoon of Cal mag at watering. Please advise and much thanks!

What's your PH?

 

[muggz494]

I have been adjusting the water to about 6.0-6.2…is there another way to adjust soil ph? The leaves are curling up now, according to the self diagnosis page it looks either like nutrient burn or ph probs. I keep trying and following the instructions on the website but I just can’t seem to get it right, I’m really disheartened and feel like giving up caus this is like my sixth harvest, and it’s painful to watch. I’ve always had a green thumb and I don’t want to go back to buying, but I’m not doing something right.

So what's your medium, hydro or soil? Or did you add coco to your soil to make it easier to get the pH wrong?

 

[muggz494]

I’m using coco coir in a 5 gallon pot with Natures living soil. 16 oz of hot soil mixed with coco to 1/3 of the pot, then coco the other 2/3. This is what the directions say..did I get it wrong?

 

[Bluey]

I don't know. I've only ever grown in soil outdoors and coco indoors. I'm not going to try and guess what nature's living soil is as soils ain't soils.

What do the instructions say re pH going in at different stages of the grow? The nutes you are giving it is quite a lot at that stage of growth.

Mine is doing the same right now and my issue is pH. I'm using super soil with autos and they don't like my water like the photos did. Ive been using the same system for watering and I just found I was a bit acidic. I'm thinking autos are more sensitive and need better living conditions. I've corrected it and am waiting for results. Make sure you take SoOrbudgal up on her advice. Raise em up. Cold roots make bad grow. ​​

This is why I prefer coco/perlite only - with that hot soil in there who knows what your plants are actually getting.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I like coco, perlite and worm castings. It's a ratio of 60-30-10 to start my seedlings in then later i'll put a scoop of 50/50 of my soil mix and mix more worm castings to top dress which i do more on my outdoor big pots cause the soil will get lower and does expose the top of the roots above ground. You can certainly use it for indoor plants as soil settles.
