I think that means over watering. The watering is releasing the natural fertilizers within the soil and when the soil is ultra wet it gets “hot” because more activity occurring. I have an organic soil too and I noticed the heavier I water, the more likely tip burn would occur. Anything over 1 gallon results in tip burn on my 7-gallon pot
for future i believe you hold off on water for 3 days or so, then transplant. and after its set in its pot you water until you see the beginnings of run off. that way the soil will be hard enough to hold together and make it easy to transplant, then the fresh water will allow the old soil to take in the new soils nutrient contribution and minimal runoff means more soil nutes mixing instead of going down the drainHey thats a pretty good observation. I just watered her 2 days ago after a 5 day stint of no water (after the transplant).
I think you might be on to something. I'll experiment with the water levels and see the outcome.
Thanks!
"Soil: Unknown (supposedly organic)"Тhats the main problem,the soil looks compacted "concrete" like some people say:)It retains moisture longer,you need much more perlite or something for drainage.It could be organic and rich on fertz but drainage is very important.The soil should be more fluffy because the roots need air.
If you haven't fertilized, my bet is overwatering. Symptoms include slow growth, drooping and deteriorating lower leaves, turgid top. It can take a while to recover.
You may well be right. Overwatering damage is a persistant condition which the plant has to grow out of. The only sign to me is those tips. Overall, the plants look OK. If it's due to overwatering in the past, the plant will grow out of it.I had ruled out overwatering as I had waited 5 days between watering.
I'm a little inclined towards kepp88's theory of the soil still being quite hot. I'm hoping she'll use up some of the nutrients and balance herself out.
One of the more common signs of overfeeding or over nutrient levels, is a drooping of the leaves, sort of like they need watered. If the soil is too hot or too saline (from fertilizer), then the soil can actually draw water from the plant. Watering it won't usually help, although flushing might, depending on how hot the soil is and why it is so hot. Changing Ph levels can cause some nutrient levels to be locked up in the soil, then become available all of a sudden when the Ph problem is fixed, causing nutrient burn without adding any nutrients. In layman's terms, you are chasing your tail and/or Ph. I see more and more posts from people having problems with bagged soils, including Fox Farms, having too hot of nutrient levels, which seem to affect some strains more than others.I had ruled out overwatering as I had waited 5 days between watering.
