These are in ocean forest soil
They are 7 weeks old. They were in small 1/2 gallon pots for the first 5 weeks. They stopped growing and started looking a little deficient. I transplanted to 1.5 gallon pots.
I am doing organic Dr earth and worm castings, but I didn't feed them at all until today. I figured there was enough nutes in the soil. Is this a calcium or nitrogen def? Im thinking I should probably water with a tea. Would some Dr. Earth and some black strap molasses be good?
Another thing to note is that even though I have heard you don't need to ph water with organic soil I have been. Problem is my pH was off because the stick wasn't calibrated. I was trying to water between 6.2-6.8 but it was .30 higher. So I was watering with 6.5-7.1. Not sure if this makes a difference when not using salt based nutes. Anyone have any advice?
