At the end of the first week, the tips of the lower leaves began to turn yellow. At that time, the PH was 7.5. I immediately adjusted the PH to 6-6.5, but nothing has changed. I added fertilizer and after 3 days the situation has not changed either. My opinion is that the problems are due to weak seed genetics, since they came from a little-known sidbank as a gift to me. I would like to know your opinion on this matter. Thank you in advance

Your plant seems fine now , but in the future try not to drastically decrease the PH in one shot like that its better to do it over time because doing it in a big jump like that will lead into complications . You may have stunted your plant for a while doing so in the manner that you did , but ultimately your plant will live . Other then that your doing well and your plants seems to be back on track now ! I Hope the information I've provided you helps you understand the importance of lowers or raising your PH in a slow manner in order to decrease chances of various problem . -Happy Growing!

Hey there so you did a great job fixing the ph level, and usually seedlings wont need too much additional nutrients beyond what's in your soil. Also, unfortunately damage is sometimes irreversible but as long as new growth isnt affected then you're doing good...you just wait it out and let new leaves fill in for the old.

Hello I see a magnesium defiency,the leaves are yellowing between the leaves and the tips appear burnt. I dont know why it happens but the "good soil" had a wrong PH for your Lady. You can stopp the yellowing, but already affected leaves stay yellow. I would get magnesium and calcium as single product. ( canna for example)Because the mixed products contain Nitrogen too. For your next grow get dolomite lime or vermiculite to keep the PH stable in a good range. Mix the vermiculite or dolomite lime under your soil

hey there BEZ, well actually it's a bunch of things some simple and some complicated. First thing is the pH which started the mess, glad you're controlling that now, just stay on top of it : it's the #1 hardest thing. Second there was some over watering, in such a big pot you should be watering twice a week maximum more or less... there's a fair amount of water logging happening, which is when water gets retained by the medium causing problems. so it's caused two problems, first problem is root problems : you can tell from the leaves beging to start cupping. this indicates root problems. Second problem is the water breaks down the nutes in the soil and makes them available, so suddenly the seedling ggets a bunch of nutes which leads to lock out. There's a few ways to fix this. First off you can add maybe some enzymes to try to break down the problem roots. Second and most important way is to water less, and stick to a strick wet / dry cycle using the lifting method to see when you need to water. you can probably cut out all the nutes, especially the first three weeks, no reason a seedling needs an injection of liquid fertiliser in soil. So basically a very common a fixable problem. Hope this helps ! 🚀
