Noob needs Plant problem advice

[Windsblow]

All these plant are 10 days into 12/12. The first 2 pic look like Mg deficiency but I am not sure. It is in MG soil and I have fed it twice with 10-15-10 that has .05% Mg in it. The third pic I am asking about the purple stem. All my plant have some purple on the top side of the stems. Is this normal? 4th and 5th has dark green leaves (almost waxy looking leaves) but the edges are curled in. It has been this way for a couple weeks. It is in a topsoil,Vermicullite,pearlite mix and I am feeding it every third watering with the same 10-15-10. The last pic is an example of how all my new growth on the Budsite are lime/light green and the rest of the plant is dark green. All my plants are like this.

Is the MG soil time released nutes? If you fed twice and noticed problems I would not add anything else until you are sorted out.

Did you put any dolomite lime in your soil mix ?

...dude, I dont think there is anything wrong with those plants...those yellow leafs are way at the bottom right? maybe skip 1 feeding thats it....

Nope, I didn't.

Well then if your not supplementing cal/mag some how your going to run into trouble . What ph water are you using?

About 7 maybe a little less. R.O. water system

That's just needing a feed bro.
I usually feed at 1/2 teaspoon of peters/jacks 10-10-10 to 1/2 gal water at every watering.
There are many types of mg soil that range in nute strength from hot to barely any,which soil specifically?
The purple stems are most likely genetic but may very well lighten up when ya feed them.
I like the moisture control mg soil myself and don't add anything to it cept the peters at waterings.

R.O. water makes cal/mag issues worse . Tap water usally has some in it ,RO doesn't . Plus no lime in the soil can be bad later down the road . Not saying thats your problem now . They do look hungry in you pics now .

Tap water here is like saly water. Very Alkali that why I am using RO. Maybe I can water a couple times with the tap I am sure it is chocked full a minerals.

I don't remember what MG soil it was. I am just hopinf I am not nute burning them. The plant with curled leaves isn't MG. I mixed that my self. What with the curling? Can I get Peters/Jacks at Lowes/HD?

A cheap cal/mag source is Mollassas , use at 1tsp to a gallon of water .

Prolly not sure which chain carries it.
I'd feed'em and give'em a couple days and see then if I was you.

What about al the other products in the mollassas.... It won't bother the plants?

 

[kingofqueen]

Nope they are actually beneficial . Just dont overdose . Some use 1 tbsp per gallon . 1 tsp is just fine for me . Alot of people use it on here organic and chem guys . There are some reads on it in the Organic Soil section though .

 

[taint]

The reason it's used in organics is to feed the microbes in the soil that a needed to break the nutes down into useable salts for the plants.
Has nothing to do with the very trace amounts of nutes in molasses.

 

[kingofqueen]

True but your still giving your plants a dose of calcium ,magnesium and some others . Myco does feed off it as well .It's not just for organics though . It's a poor mans cal/mag nute . I've used it up until now I use MagPro .

 

[taint]

I'm doing peters now so I don't add anything.
