African Noodle Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Two of my plants don't seem to be doing so well, this is the first one. These are the second. Not sure whats wrong but the leaves are "tacoing" and they are also yellowish. I have another plant which is doing extremely well and I've been treating them all the same. Any help would be amazing.

Nostrovia Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) looks like heat stress with over feeding or nutrient lockout. Posting a pic of the whole plant would help also medium? and what nutrients are you feeding? and finally how often do you water?

African Noodle Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 It has been quite hot down in Cape Town recently, I haven't been feeding it anything besides the one time I've used compost tea. The medium is a homemade worm castings/soil. I water it every 3 days. I have another plant which looks amazing though. But it does get more shade and it has the same medium as the other two.

African Noodle Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 @ydt Okay these pictures are making the plants look very yellow thanks to my kak camera and all the light. They do have some yellow on them but its mostly a sun bleached green. This is the first These are the second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African Noodle Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) This is my other one, dammit the picture is horizontal xD It gets more shade and the medium is the same as the others This is my first grow, so any advice would help.

Before flowering plants throw off a lot of leaves especially outdoor (out of experience) and remember leaves can't repair themselves. So damaged leaves whether it be from nutrient burn / pests would stay until the leave falls off. leave discoloration due to nutrient deficiency can be fixed though. Elder weed growers are welcome to correct any of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African Noodle Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 So I should probably buy some nutrients, was trying to grow without nutrients for my first grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budwizer Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I can’t see the pictures but just from your description I can congratulate @ydt on his diagnosis. Soil and worm castings make for a terrible substrate. Worm castings become sloppy anaerobic muck without aeration. You need to add lots of perlite to that mix. If you don’t transplant into a better substrate now, you might as well chuck those plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African Noodle Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) @Budwizer The first pot they were in was a worm casting/soil mix. There was only 30% worm castings. They're in the ground now and its a small bit of worm castings and homemade compost while the rest is soil. I have one plant that is more in the shade and its doing very well, its also got the same medium as the others. So potentially heat stress or nutrient lockout as @ydt said. This is my first grow and I planted them without knowing too much on the matter. I've just germinated some seedlings so any advice would be great.

Nostrovia Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 @African Noodle add some bone meal for flowering and you'll be alright man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
