Thanks, @Waira. Lol, I knew you'd bust out the A#8 whip on me. Lol.
Hmm, I read Cal shouldn't be too bad at high Ph, part of why I thought it must be a ph swing effect. I'm in oregons only #4, I'm told it's near neutral ph, just maybe slightly less than 7. I ask a different guy at the shop every time I go in to see what they'll say. It's peat based, with coco, castings, rock dust, and Alaska compost, lime, basically. About 250 ppms, pretty light. I think it's made to be higher ph than most soil's because the Nectar for the Gods nutes line is pretty acidic.
I thought the proper way to do super soil's was to have the hot layer on the bottom so the plant could get established before hitting g the heavy soil. I figure this would tend to stratify the ph of the pot, and didn't think I was doing anything wrong by doing this but now I'm second guessing it, thinking about doing things differently next round. I'm new to this organic style soil growing.
I'm letting them dry out a bit and I'll be sure to lower the water ph tomorrow. The problem does seem to be progressing. I might go ahead and supplement some calmag, just wasn't convinced it was the problem.
I'll post a couple pics next time and see where they go. Thanks again for looking at this with me.
