Yellowing leaves

How much feed are you mixing up?

PPM?

You probably need to raise the pH to 6.5 on your feed/waterings and raise the PPM of your nutrient mix.

As far as checking the soil pH you need a proper digital pen with a spear probe meant for testing soil and the like. I wouldn't be too concerned about this, just the feed and waterings.

You should have a feed PPM around 1000 - 1250 ish to be in the ball park. Of course that can't be made up of 600 PPM well water and 600 PPM of nutes.

So:

Whats the PPM of the well water?

How do you mix your feed? (How many mL of each bottle to how many gallons of water?)

 

[lovelygrow2019]

You might wanna try this basic feed. The numbers are mL per gallon. You don't have to use the Si and probably not the calmag since you have well water. Like I said before you may wanna be using hardwater micro but I dunno the well PPM.

The ppm on cold water is 252 ppm

Alright, leave it in there a few minutes. See if the ph changes.
Seems to check out to me.

I agree with Renfro, ppms of your feeds?

Sorry I water only on Sunday. And I'm adjusting the pH to 5.5-6.0

So how often do you feed?

How many ppm?

Generally i wouldn't bother ph'ing water at all for soil. Also ph 6.5 would be the lowest i ever go.

Are the bottoms of the pots staying soggy between watering / feeds?
I'd consider raising them off the floor a little.
Used to put mine on those ribbed drainer trays. Helped a lot with aeration and drainage.

 

[Renfro]

You can mix up a foliar feed to help the plant get some nutrients fast. Something around 300 PPM and a pH between 7 and 8. Fish emulsion works great for this as it has a lot of nitrogen (you need that right now). You can also just use diluted nutrients of the GH stuff, I do it all the time.

 

[Renfro]

252 isn't horrible, so lets shelve that issue and focus on the nutrients. You definitely don't need any calmag with that well water.

 

[Renfro]

Also, the lighting situation, how much light do you have in there? Just the one little blurple LED? They need way more than that. They are leggy (stretching for light).

The humidity? Are the walls of the tent wet with condensation or is that just my eyes?

the well ppm is 252
Current feeding
I feed per 1 gallon of water
6ml Cal mag
5ml bloom
3ml grow
4ml micro
1/2 tsp molasses
1/4 tsp raw honey

Yikes I'm using 6ml of Cal mag to 1 gallon of water only for the last two feedings

No the tent has humidity your right your eyes are not deceiving you. That is why I started watering only on Sundays to try and cut down the humidity. I am using the 600 watt and two 100 watt daytime led lights

Ok, ditch the calmag, if anything you may need a little epsom for magnesium but there is likely ample calcium in the well water.

Up the numbers to:

Micro 7mL
Grow 7mL
Bloom 8mL

Add them in that order. You wanna add the silicon first (your not using that and thats ok), then calmag (don't need that), then Micro, then Grow then bloom. Then pH adjust to 6.5

Cut some of that mix with water to make a 300 PPM foliar feed (ph between 7 and 8 ) and give them a nice misting to jump start their meal.

The yellow leaves won't get better but the problem should stop moving up the plant and it should get a darker shade of green indicating that they are getting the nitrogen.

 

[lovelygrow2019]

Are the walls of the tent wet with condensation?

Yes they are wet. I wipe them down daily but still the water comes back

Water when the plants are thirsty. Vent to control humidity and or heat. Whats the ambient humidity (outside the tent)?

Okay and when do you suggest I give this new feeding I just fed them

49% to 90% its Oklahoma spring

 

[Renfro]

You need to get that humidity down or you will get powdery mildew, bud rott or some other fungal problem.

Do you have ventilation running 24/7?

If you just fed them, just feed them again right now and push that old feed out. Overwatering is not letting the medium dry enough between waterings so if you just watered it won't hurt to give them more.

 

[Renfro]

You probably want a good dehumidifier in the room the tent is in. You want to ventilate the tent to keep the humidity and heat controlled. The ambient conditions of the room your tent is in will need to be controlled.

no the bottom of the pots are not staying soggy I normally move them and they are fairly lite when lifting. The ppm is normally in 728-750 when I mix up the gallon. I use appropriate 2.5 gallons of water between all 4 plants

Okay I do have a dehumidifier I will start using

I will have ventilation running 24 hours after today. And I'll feed them more food now. Thanks so very much!!!
