Hi All, first time grower looking for some advice,
These were some seeds given to me by a friend, so have no idea of their origins. or what they are.
These started life outdoors, then I bought them inside when I got a Mars Hydro grow kit.
2x4 with a tsl 2000 light.
I had issues with fungus Gnats when I get them inside. They were actually looking quite good until I started try to fix the Fungus Gnat issue.
I soaked some Mosquito bits and added that to my water along with some Seasol Gold Liquid Seaweed Solution, a touch of Mollasus and some Manutec Nitro Plus.
This didn't really work, and I suspected I over watered them, so I then got some Gnat Barrier, which is kinda like sand, and covered my soil as recommended, and then starved them of water to try and fix the over watering.
Then they just melted into what you see here. So I removed the gnat barrier (it kinda worked, and I have very few gnats, but still a few buzzing around, my wife said they were dying of thirst, so I watered then with a 6.5ph water with some Manutec Nitro Plus yesterday and this was taken this morning.
Any ideas?
I have seeds on their way, but I dont really want to give up on this plant as it is my learning plant, I have 2 but the other looks a bit healthier. I would really like to get this one back to some kind of health. I'm still not even sure if it's under watered or over watered?
The stalks are looking pretty purple, not sure what that means.
Any help would be appreciated..
Cheers.
Just to note, my soil was a mix of about 1/2 to 2/3 potting mix, with the rest made up of perlite and peat moss in equal proportions.
When I removed the gnat barrier, I noticed root growth into that medium, so I topped my soil with a mix of peat moss and perlite, it looks heavy on the perlite, but the main mix doesn't look like that.
