Troubleshooting Guide

Yellowing Leaves

Possible Causes:

• Nitrogen deficiency - Apply compost or fish emulsion
• Overwatering - Check soil moisture, improve drainage
• Pest damage - Inspect undersides of leaves

Poor Germination

Solutions:

• Check soil temperature (60-85°F optimal)
• Ensure adequate moisture without waterlogging
• Use fresh seeds (check germination date)

Blossom End Rot

Fix: Calcium deficiency. Add crushed eggshells or bone meal. Maintain consistent watering.

Pest Infestations

Solutions: Neem oil spray, companion planting, manual removal, beneficial insects.

Quail Not Laying

Check:

• Protein levels (need 24-28% for layers)
• Light duration (14-16 hours daily)
• Stress factors (overcrowding, predators)
• Age (peak laying 8-32 weeks)

Rabbit Refusing Food

Possible Causes:

• Dental issues - Check teeth alignment
• GI stasis - Encourage movement, offer greens
• Heat stress - Provide cooling, fresh water

Cloudy Water

Solutions:

• Reduce feeding amount
• Check biofilter function
• Increase water circulation
• Partial water change if ammonia high

Fish Gasping at Surface

Immediate Actions:

• Add aeration immediately
• Check dissolved oxygen levels
• Test for ammonia/nitrite spikes
• Reduce fish density if overstocked

Plant Deficiencies

Fix: Iron deficiency (yellowing with green veins) - Add chelated iron. Potassium deficiency - Add potassium supplement.

pH Fluctuations

Stabilize: Target 6.8-7.2. Use crushed coral to raise pH, citric acid to lower. Test daily during cycling.
