probably should add ph apears to be fine, i am testing run off with paper strips and getting somewhere between 6-7. also recently added fish and kelp, could it be over fertilization? because they started in potting mix so i thought they wouldnt need fert for a while then seen they apeared to be struggling so added now wondering if too much :?

Yes, it probably was nutrient burn, how do they look now?

i gave up. they were tiny, not growing and looking at them was making me sad so can only imagine how they felt :cry: BUT, my dewey mister set up has arrived so was thinking about running a bit of a dewey mister & hempy bucket set up. i have bc blueberry and beach bum haze thinking 2 of each just doing a little more reading up on the ways of hydro so may pop seeds next week or two..

i think rushing in was half my problem last time. i have a sweet mango out side it is showing similar signs to the ones inside as i used the same soil but i mixed it so it is coping and looking great! the cucumber also died but the tomatoes are doing really well outside so not all bad news haha.

no complaints of the solar storm tho i am putting this one down to bad technique.

learn, adapt and move on.

so i shall be back
