Looks like a N deficiency and possibly overwatering too. Most likely just a boost in N will make them healthy again.

Looks like you should just water feed. How heavy is the pot when ya water? They got roots man fix it now and they will be stronger.

Mr.Wags

ullsually the pots seem pretty heavy after I water them....... I let the water drain out 3 times

They got roots man fix it now and they will be stronger.

What do you mean when you say you let the water run out 3 times? Are you saying you water it until it runs out, let it sit, water again a few minutea later until it runs out. And then do that again? IF so you are giving you plants way too much water.

The roots are drowning, you are pratcially flushing you plants every watering. Remember pot plants like to dry out completely in between watering, judge this by weight, feel how heavy it is after full watering, then again when dry.

In My Opinion, That plant int he pic looks overwatered. It might be showing a N deficiency a little, but that could mostly be due to the overwatering. I wouldnt water that plant for about a week. Dont use the dip the finger in the soil to check the moisture test either, its not reliable.

Hope this helps a little

Over watering for sure. Wait until pots are pretty light and water 1 time. Also make sure your soil has tons of perlite in there to give the roots some oxygen.

I let the water soak in then it runs out the bottom I do this 3 times

the last soli mix that they were in I bought a bag of just perlite and mixed it in with the soil

I just transplanted these into bigger pots without the extra perlite a day before the pic but they were already looking like this in the old pots

Thats how my plants used to look nice and green......

Dude 3 times in what period of time?

Tarbosh · 03-14-2006, 05:17 PM

straight up drowning.... if you let it get thirsty..... it drinks faster...... when it drinks faster..... it grows faster..... simple as that!

you are drowning them.

water when your pots are really light(dry), i mean really dry.

When you water, only water till a little bit comes out the bottom, then STOP WATERING for the next days, till the pots are really light (dry) again.

More perlite makes it harder to overwater.
