Greetings,
I’m a first-time grower dealing with multiple issues which I have tried to fix on my own. I’m not sure if I have overcompensated on something that is causing the leaves of my plants to turn yellow. I was dealing with gnats and earwigs from the get go, so I have used neem oil that I though was causing the leaves to burn in the sun (even though I was spraying at night time). I have stopped neem oil for almost a week now, and the plants are not getting any better. Where I live, I’m dealing with a heat wave, so I have tried to keep the plants in the shade, but it hasn’t helped. I was spraying using potassium silicate and seaweed extract with the neem oil every other day, but as I said earlier, I have not sprayed in a week, so the spray doesn’t seem to have been the root of the problem. I have had problems with my ph meter, but I have replaced it with a new one, so my issues could have been due to ph during the last 2 watering (which I try to keep between 6.2 & 6.3). I am currently in 5 gallon pots outdoor and planning to move the plants to 30 gallon pots as soon as I fix my issue. I am using nature's pride veg for top feeding every week when I water the plants. During watering, I’m also adding the potassium silicate. I have included images of the 5 plants in the current state. I appreciate any recommendations to troubleshoot my issue. Thanks in advance.
