I have been an outdoor person using cheap MG soil successfully. I figured I'd try my hand at indoor, so I put together LC's mix and put some plants in it. These were originally clones in another mix doing OK. Once they hit this they took a turn for the worst and I don't know what is wrong with them. They have green veins, yellow leaves. They are very light green and unhealthy looking. New growth tips are yellow so they might be burning? Also very droopy.
My soil mix is 5 parts peat moss, 3 parts perlite, 2 parts worm casting with 2 tablespoons per gallon of mix. The lime I used was dolomite but was PELETIZED. It is Epsoma garden lime. I tried breaking it up with a hammer. This mix was not allowed to cook. Temps have been on the low side (65ish near roots), but other than that enviorment seems fine. They were fed with kelp twice but they are pretty much stunted and dying. Their roots were very poor upon initital transplant. I can't get a pH tester right now, but my water is strictly rain/lake water with a pH of around 6.4. Not sure if this is a combo of a huge burn and nutrient lock out or what. pH too high or too low? Maybe the lime isn't balancing the mix? Ideas? Quick fixes before these things die.
