Unfortunately 2 weeks ago the leaves started to to dry turn yellow and fall. Since the plant was in that pot for quite long I thought it was rootbound and I repotted in a bigger pot 10 days ago but the situation is the same! The plant looks very ill and it's leaves doesn't smell as intense as they used to be. Any advice appreciated.

Are you using any NUTES??
What kind of lighting?? Just daylight through a window??
Check your PH
Add some Dolimite lime. A teaspoon.
goodluck..

I'm a new grower so be patient with me. The soil i used is potting substrate and it's composition is black peat, white peat, lime, NPK fertilizer and trace-elements. it;s ph is 5.0 -6.5 and it's retention of water 400g/100 g dry matter. I have mixed it with some perlite type rocks. The fertilizer i used it's a general type one that I bought from the local store and it dosn't write it's composition. I used it once every 3 days approximately i watered the plant when i felted dryness in the fisrt 2-3 inches of soil and since it's very hot (i'm 35N) it was like once a day. The plant receives about 5 hours of direct sunlight and 8 hours of indirect It's in my yard.. Since i don't really know much about this stuff i would appreciate your opinion.
What's Dolimite lime, tlc and where can i find them?

5-6.5? 5 is way too low. Get it to 6.1-6.8. Give them a weaker fert solution until your problem resides.

And only add ferts one time a week.

Dont add any ferts at all for a while. Flush it with several gallons of water Repeatedly letting the water fill the pot and run out the bottom. You need to leach as much of the fert out of the soil as you can. You have hit it with way to much nirtogen. Just jkeep pouring the water through the soil and letting it run out the bottom. Hope it helps. Good luck slim.

100% on the nute burn Capone. Flush her and raise the pH within a few days after you will start seeing explosive growth.

Add lime or just buy a ph up solution.

Definitely way too much Nitrogen in her diet. Give her a good flush.
