Thanks for the quick reply @Prophetiko and @fruititooti for sending him my way. After looking at that chart which will now be my new go to deficiency chart I believe it is a nitrogen deficiency. Are there any ways to remedy this moving forward as right now I'm using tangs easy feed schedule which just uses sensi bloom A+B, carbolode,and overdrive. Would any of these be able to supplement the nitrogen deficiency or should I get something else.

Maybe even @TaNg may have a few words of advice even though u don't get deficiencies or maybe rarely

I put the bottles down about 3 months ago. I'm all living soils and organics now. I use about an inch and a half top dressing of worm castings, fish/bone or feather meal, and water it into my soil.

The only way I can think of increasing N with bottled nutes is to increase the dosage.. Which means you're increasing the dosage of something else along with it.

And unless you are 100% sure what your water ph is, you will definitely want to start checking that. Yellowing can also be root issues/lockout. Ph is vital. You should know the soild ph, and the waters ph. Ph rises as the soil dries out. If the soil ph is 6.. And your water is 7.. That number of 6 will rise, and keep rising as the soil dries. Thus the term "ph swings".. Thats when your ph is up and down.. Up and down. Knowing the ph and staying in range will stabilize the soil and plant!

If your ph is off, like too high, it locks out nitrogen and it won't matter how much you give. The plant just won't be able to use it. If in soil you want to feed at 6.5 ph. If hydro/coco, shoot for around 6.0 ph.

Just ordered a ph pen but wish there was something i could do for them right now. Would reverse osmosis water from the grocery stor suffice until i cn check my taps ph????

@Bman420 no problem mate I know what it's like, I thought I'd be ok being organic not checking mine but my PH pen has come today and I've been poisoning my babies at 8.7.

@Prophetiko cheers for my next read "ph swings" sounds interesting.does this still effect organic?

Ya that would be better than tap water. My tap water is between 8 and 9 so if i use it, i have to use a lot of ph down.

Thanks @Roasty McToasty i have a sneaky feeling my ph may be over that. I'm gonna go to the grocery store tonight and stock up on some gallons lol. Would spring or distilled water work or they don't have consistent ph readings.

 

[Roasty McToasty]

Either would be better, I just use the kiosk for ro water. 5 gallon jugs cost $1.25. After i add nutes, it always ph's right at 6.

Yessirrr. Ph always applies. My soil is around 6.5-6.7. I always ph my water to 5.8. But with living soil, which is what I use, as long as you have more beneficial fungi than bacteria, mother nature will always keep the ph exactly where the plant wants it.. I just try to keep my water in a normal range and let the soil work. If I didn't ph my water I'd wreck the soils environment so its still super important.
