tom... take those 4 yellow leaves and remove them. then take another look at the plant. it doesn't look so bad anymore, does it? just stop watering cuz you have too much water in that soil. it should be dry on top. read dry dirt
 
The first set of leaves has only fallen off for me when the plants have been hungry for nutrients.. but the top of your plants are yellowing too. I don't know :confused2:

What's in the soil?

where do i make the cuts

just pinch the leaves off the plant along the stem of the leaves... the part left on the plant will dry up and eventually fall off on their own.
 
im gonna go in the morning and get some foxfarm soil, i got them in planting soil witch the bag says is for out side it says righyt on the bag not for indoor plants so that is prolly the problem i just seen this and i got 5 outher babys in that soil so i got to get them out they are in sta green planting mix this soil says in the bag to mix with 6 inches of native soil and i dont have it mixed with nothin so the ferts and nuts that come in the soil are prolly 2 strong for my plant what do u guys think
 
currently, with all that moisture in the soil, you've got it sitting in a bog. that is not ideal condition. you could almost go by the weather pattern for when to water. it's not a sure thing all the time, so stuff dries out natuarlly. look at outdoor crops - people grow them out in the wild where they rely on when it rains to get watered.

anyways... let your tub of dirt ;) dry out.
 
Huh? Wait a minute..
Leave those leaves alone!

Cutting them off prematurely won't benefit at all.

lol....s'ok, buddy...yer learning... u need to get yourself a commercial potting soil. tell the employee that is going to suggest something for you that you need the soil for growing indoor tomatoes. it will probably come in a big bail - should have some sorta agregate in there. I don't know about what kinda stuff u got down there in the states. we only have like... IglooHouse brand soils and stuff :p

there shouldn't be any ferts added into the soil already. just read all the labels and s.
 
well atleast like u said im learning lol and i feel a lot better that i no what the problem is now lol ...so do u think when i get them in some fox farm in the morning they will come back and thrive like they are suposed 2 at this point in their life?
 
well... the problem is, you've stressed them pretty bad, and now that you are going to transplant them, they r going to go into shock pretty bad, so it's going to take a while for them to come back. you are going to have to veg them prob for at least 6 weeks.

and... what size pot is that little thing in, anyways?... if it's a large deep dish pot, that's no good. I suggest the best pot would be a 2 gallon pot. cuz you ditch the dirt every crop -- I just spread mine in the low spots in the yard, then throw the rootball in the compost heap. let's all stay organic, man :headbang:

I keep my mothers in a 4 gallon pot cuz the rootball gets quite big.

anyways... back to the transplanting... when you do, here's how I would do it...

get a garden shovel and scoop out the plant by the rootball and surrounding dirt. then by hand kind of hold the plant upside down by the rootball so u don't break the stem. roll the rootball back and forth with your hands to get the junk dirt out. but be gentle of the plant or u'll kill it.

when you tranplant into the new pot with the new soil, you have to moisten down the dirt first, eh?... before you go transplanting, make sure u've already moisned down your new soil first. not soaked, only moisened. u know how to do that, eh?... you take a bunch of your new dirt, and break it all up, then you add a little bit of water, and stir it up. then you gotta let it sit for a bit cuz it will absorb for a while. so you gotta stir it up and usually add some more, but only after you've stirred it up. cuz you might not need to... the point is, it takes time, so people don't like to wait and don't bother, and yadda yadda yadda

anyways, you just want it moist - wet, but not water-logged.

ya ok, then you want to transplant your little guy to your 2 gallon pot.

and... because you've already moisned down your soil, it should be good for damn near a week before it needs a little bit of water only
 
right on man ill let u no how it goes in the morning im gonna go to sleep i feel guilty goin to sleep with my plant sufferin like that if their was a 24 hour plant place id go their now lol i wish this crap was leagle so i could take my plant to the plant store u no kind of like petco lol but plantco ..talk 2 u in the morning our afternoon sometime vancover ur help is very much needed by me thank u
 
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to That crazy vancouver guy again.

He's right on I think. You should notice shock symptoms.:shocked: You definitely need a good soil.

ya, it'd be nice if you could just take yer plant into a head shop and ask, "what's up?" and hand it to 'em... but... no, so you just come here to get the information yer looking for. :aok:
 
well guys im leavin now to go to worms way and get my soil and check out a digital ph tester and if im feeling real good i might just buy me a nother nice light if they got a good deal wish me luck because i got to get these babys /ladies into the right soil
 
hey tom Lay off the water big time. only water like a cup full ina half(coffee cup) for that size pot. let it get dry not jus on the to, but stick ya finger in the soil and bout an 1" down to see how dry it soil is. i suggest not watering till Monday. the closer the light is the faster the soil will dry out. Ok are you feeding any nutes at all??? How old are they???
 
its almost 3 weeks old no nutes but i found out i got the wrong soil that is the problem, so im goin to get the best soil worms way gots ,,so i will have 2 water it a little when i put it in the new soil ,,,wont i ? and to answer ur outher question ive never gave them any nutes but in the soil is that time realase crap and i did not read the bag when i got it the soil is for outdoors and is soposed to be mixed with 6inches of native soil and i dont have it mixed with nothin so can u imagain how strong that time relase stuff is without being mixed like it says with native soil so i think it will come back to lookin good when i get home with the new soil fingers crossed
 
get fox farm ocean forest, thats the best andget the fox farm Tri-Pack of nutes
 
usually yellowing leaves starting at the bottom mean low N. Pinch em off and add a little bit more N and dont water so much
