hi all..new to the site and basically new to the growing scene...
ive got 4 cheese on the go (rougthly about 12-14")...3weeks tday on 18hr and about 6-7days ago the leafs started to turn very dark and curl.

at first i thought it was the barrel i started using to water the plants but resorted to the original container...ive been told to check the ph of my water (which is now in the container i originally used) which is 5.9.

im not using any nutes at the minuite because of the soil i have bought...special gold mix which states it has 3-6weeks worth of nutes in especially for the 18hr stage... im using 30ltr pots were the roots are piling out already and im watering from the bottom.

tips and help would be much appreciated cheers...JNRGREEN

From where Im standing you need to get some pics up, but............

You are also making mistakes. The seedlings need to be in small pots to start with so they can form a good rootball, then pot up after a couple of weeks into a larger pot and so on until you have them in the final pots, that way you will have a nice big rootball as a good foundation for your flowering plant. You also should not be feeding from the bottom, thats why you have the roots coming out the bottom, they are reaching down looking for water. Also your PH is too low, for soil it should be 6.3-6.8 I believe.

iv been told its due to too much nitrogen but im using pre nuted soil (gold label special mix) so how can i lower the levels...do i have to repot into fresh soil or what?
