Hot soil problems

[TreyDogg]

I'm thinking about ordering a go box and watering with that. So far they don't look much better than before. The issue is in all plants I may just leave super soil alone after this. The go box costs the same as 5 lbs of kind soil just takes a little more effort. Yes I used the recommended amounts for both products.

Ok so I've dosed twice now with about 2ml of cal mag and mammoth p each. They seem to be stabilizing ok. I think... They are still growing so we got that.

I hear your frustration mate! My photo girls all had P defc. problems, but I can't totally blame the KS soil for this, since they veg'd longer than they should have outside, and got too large for the pot size and soil amounts,... still, it happened early on, and that can knock shit off track permanently, even if you hammer them with P afterwards,.. there's a critical time during early bud set that if there's a P shortage, bud:leaf ratio and density can suffer and be difficult to correct... only half of mine seemed to recover well, the rest didn't get where they should have been...
Did you check the pH in the soil yet? much hinges on that,...

I tested the runoff today it came out to around 6.0 or so. Color dye stuff test. Damage still is hitting kind soil. But she looks ok budwise looks almost done as she should. My gorilla glue is still taking hits in the mophisto soil. Burning at the tips and edges. I pulled back on mammoth p and cal mag for a feeding and went straight water. Her buds are way small too getting icy though we shall see.

I have the same thing with my KS grow, the KS just didn't enough to finish out a bigger plant. Mine too just basicly had a fail to fire when it came to flowering. I ran into a huge Ca and P def at exactly the wrong time. I pissed around with adding blackstrap molassis to try to curb the Ca problem, that helped a little but the problem continued to grow. My last attempt now has been adding GH CaliMagic at 3 ml/L and AN Overdrive (P-K booster) at 2 ml/L. This seems to have stablized or at least greatly slowed down the def symptoms. The buds have now begun to swell decently after getting shit stabilized. One has lost alot of leaves, so may be naked before harvest. I too gave the KS a shot and will probably not be changing to KS as my main grow method that's for sure. I have 5 lbs more KS that I am going to run with a quick, short strain. I'm thinking Mephesto Sour Crack. Everything looked so damn good right up to flower time, than things started going downhill. A small, quick strain may do great in the KS before she cashes out. I like growing large girls, so pretty sure I am staying with Advanced Nutrients in Promix. If it isn't broke, don't fix it I guess is my lesson learned.
Good luck finishing out your grow.
