E)
Does your plant look wilted? Maybe you over-watered? If not, go to
F.
F)
The veins are green, but the leaves are yellow. This is an Iron
problem, Fe. If not, move on to G:)
G)
Leaves are not twisted but are yellow at the base. The tips are fine.
This is a Manganese problem, which is (Mn). If not, move on to H).
H)
Still haven't solved it? Then flush your soil and find another type of
plant food that has all of these. N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S. Get Epsom
Salts and get a small canister of micronutrient. Iron, boron, chlorine,
manganese, copper, zinc, and molybdenum. Try using a nutrient
mixture that we have already mentioned before in the indoor feeding
section. If this doesn't solve your problem, then maybe you have one of
the following:
POT BOUND (ROOT BOUND)
Your plant has outgrown the pot. The entire root mass would
have grown to its maximum capacity. This causes stress and a variety
of problems. The only cure for this is a bigger pot.
NUTRIENT LOCKOUT
Well...what can we say causes this..Hmm there are a number
of things. If you followed H) right then you should not have this but we
will explain it anyway. Lockout occurs when the plant can not get
access to a nutrient or a group of nutrients. This could be caused by the
absence of nutrients (a deficiency) or by a chemical reaction in the
medium/solution that causes a toxic substance to block the roots, or
causes a chemical reaction that creates another substance that changes
the chemical properties of the other nutrients. As you can see this is
really a very open subject matter. pH problems can lockout nutrients,
