Hi all, although i am keeping a journal, but this will be my first proper post here so to speak.
I have been constantly reading these forums lately and especially here in the nursery as i have been running into 1 or 2 teething problems on my first grow.
Reading around i have seen people with a few problems similar to these two plants i have here, but there seems to be a half and half opinion as to wether the causes are nute burns or nute deficency's. Please take a look at these pics and let me know what you think.
Also is the only sure way to tell if it is burn of deficeny to re-pot the plants into fert free soil or would a flushing suffice?
I have 4 other plants and although they have had their problems they are nowhere near as stunted or bad as these 2 plants. Also these plants were kept outside for the first 2- 2 1/2 weeks.
As i say i also have a Journal going on here so maybe that can shed a little more light on the matter.
Thanks in advance for any help.
