My babies seem to be doing bad. 2 weeks ago they were fine, now they're turning yellow. I don't have any pics, but I can just describe it to you, there is a general yellowing of the leaves (nothing special, spotted, or localized, the whole leaf is yellow.) All the plants are yellowing a bit, some more than others.
I figured the problem might be underwatering, as i've been taking it easy on the water. To avoid overwatering i've been adding water very slowly, in small amounts, about 3x a day with a liberal dose from a spray bottle.
They were never watered to the point where it'd be seeping out the holes in the bottom of the pot, so I felt maybe that was indicative of a problem. I thought it might also be that they need nutes, as I know the plants weren't given the best soil on the market (4 parts scotts top soil and 1 part worm castings). I'm waiting for nutes to arrive in the mail, so in the mean time I mixed a little worm castings with water, mixed it up real well, then fed enough to each plant to saturate their soil.
Today the plants are still a little yellow, I can't tell if theres any improvement yet.
I can also tell you one other thing. The PH of the soil is off, according to my PH tester. It's somewhere between 7 and 7.2. I don't have the means to correct it right now (solution coming in the mail), so maybe that is the source of all my problems, or could it just be exacerbating them?
Thanks
