Problems in super soil

[sourdieselyumyum]

plants are in veg 7 gallon pots half super soil half a mix of ocean forest and happy frog I also added some dolomite lime. I have been just giving them plain water ph between 6.3-7.0. Any ideas if this is being caused from the added lime or just burn from the super soil. They have been in these pots for little over a month

I hate pre-ferted soil...super soil or not. it's just too much of a crap shoot.

If it were me...rather than ride the ride....I'd probably try to (gingerly) transplant them into FFOF or something else not quite so hot....knocking off as much of that SS on the bottom as possible.

They may right themselves over time if you leave them as they are....but then again...they may continue goin down the lockout/over-fertilized route. In veg...they should pop back after a transplant, IMO.

good luck!

I’m not sure if it’s the soil tho I’m thinking it’s the dolomite. Do U think a few more weeks of veg would level things out. I was wanting to put them into flower but I think that would end bad

The lime could have bumped the ph out of range if you did not give it enough time to normalize. Why are you ph adjusting your water? It is the soil itself that is supposed to be ph balanced not the water. You only need to do that in a sterile medium like coco. Looks like nute burn but I would simply water as normal and see what happens. Watch the newest growth; those leaves with burn will probly shrivel up and die.

Dolomite Lime will give you a ph of around 7. Don't need to PH ya water.

Oh ok so your filtered water is coming out alkaline. That is the due to the source of your water. I understand but can honestly say I am not quite sure what to do about that other than to use it as-is or find another water source. If it is not too arid where you live a dehumidifier or a/c can collect gallons of chlorine free low ppm water per day. The D-lime should pull the ph down a bit but you'll need a soil probe to check the actual ph at the root zone to be 100% sure it is in the proper range.

do you guys think the product slf 100 would help? Im not really trying to repot kinda hoping they bounce back. is it ok to give them back to back mild diluted compost tea?
