Looking for suggestions

Using 10ml per gallon right now ever watering so twice a week.

Also using calmag from bontiacare at 6ml per gallon every watering.

I started to add biobizz grow and bloom so I'll look into your earth juice and see if biobizz has something similar. I agree with you though I think my soil ph being above 6.8 is the root cause. I'm assuming I just ruined this batch of soil using tap water the first 4 weeks. Bud production is still active I just hope the entire crop isnt wasted and I'm able to get this ironed out. I'll need to run an entire grow now on ro/ distilled water to compare things.

wait, you haven't added any bloom nutes at all yet? Roger that on URB, I recall now some Eu folks using this inoculant,....thanks! So, pending that nute info, it fits, longer term starvation/imbalance of nutes,... BioBizz is fine, but mild,.. their micro coverage isn't that good IMO, Algamic is the main one for that?

Did you mean 16"?

I meant 6" up, sorry. Here's some pic's of my sick girls--I had my LED'S WAY TO CLOSE, EVEN 24" was close, now they are at 27". I underfed them badly, mistaked a liter for 1 us gal. You are getting very good help,

Correct they just got 1ml per liter on Tuesday. Both Bloom and Grow. I think when I mixed my soil I added too much coco thus diluting the organic soils nutrient levels. I'm going to bump up to 2ml per liter this coming watering I'm currently waiting a good 5 days before watering. Some thought I might be over watering so I'm going to let em dry out slightly.

I have roots literally growing out the top of the soil at this point. The URB seems to be helping the root system a lot. I once feared slight root rot as well and that's why I began adding urb to help correct that issue. But i truly believe my screw up started when i mixed the coco and organic soil. I then washed the soil with my tap water. Which has a PH of 7.8 and tons of salts. Then like you said first 3 weeks went great until the sucked all the nutes that were in the soil up and the PH is too high locking out Iron and Mag and cal being locked out with all the salts in my tapwater.

I have 3.5 weeks left on the Northernlights and 5 weeks left on the Whitewidow. I'm going to push the NL as far as I can so I can try to harvest then at the same time but I'm not sure will see how the produce. Is it worth it to even make corrections to the autoflowers? I do have one amenisa Haze XXl in there that looks great just stretching more than I'd like shes at 34 days

...yeah, "custom" coco blends seem to be hit and miss from what i see here,... too much coco, and you end up caught in between true soil and soilless, not a good place especially with coco and all it's CEC quirks and culture differences,...
... good on the roots surfacing, always a good sign.... By all means, make corrections and keep feeding; start pH adjusting your inputs, feeds and water, maybe even consider a lower ppm water source like RO/Di, even many drinking waters are low ppm,... any chance you have one of those self-fill units around and can fill some jugs up? The idea here is to reduce the hardness/CaCO3 going in, to help lower the in-pot pH.... which reminds me to ask if you've looked in to that,... run-off is not a reliable measure of pH, but if you know the pH of the water (only) going in, and collect a significant amount of r-o, you can get a crude ball park idea if it off and which direction... ideally, you should use low ppm water to do this.... otherwise, a decent soil pH probe is the ticket! Accurate 8 is a good model, otherwise it's a more $$ unit like Blue Labs units which works like a pH meter (electrode bulb).... Anyway, it's seems unlikely that the in-pot pH is off given all this, but it's a possibility...
