    Default Please help - 2-3wks in, Flush or Re-pot with new soil?

    Dear All

    Could somebody offer further help with my 1st indoor grow (see pics) - I'm around 2-3 weeks in (Sweet Skunk Auto seeds) and the leaves on my plants are still turning brown. I am clearly using the wrong soil, Miracle Gro Expand 'n Gro / Concentrated Enriched Compost.

    I have flushed these each with 3Ltrs, as advised by another kind poster.

    But as the new leaves are still turning brown, my question now is -

    • Should I now either Flush again?
    • Or repot to a bigger pot using different soil? (If so can someone recommend best soil/compost type - easily accessible in the UK)?

    Also, should I be adding Perlite to any of this?

    Many thanks

    Perlite is good to be used mate yes.
    People don't recommend repotting Autos.
    Your new growth looks nice and green mate so this medium might only been too hot for the seedlings.

    Get them repotted ASAP, don't hang about or they will be flowering by the time you up-pot & you don't want that!

    As said above, B&Q Verve Multipurpose Compost is a great compost for growing in. 10L pots would be nice too

    ...and don't forget to mix in a couple of handfuls of perlite too
