i was guessing it wouldnt b designed for weed and wood have good n levels but not p and k. i only feed in flower a small amount n give tiny bit cal n mag which i have in thrive nutes from advanced and wen seems want lil extra. i used this soil last time and more feeds and didnt have any probs really so im confused as hell and bit put out i had remove wot i have. i mean i even looked for any kind bugs but again not that. oh and vegged 5 weeks but only under 150hps. now under a mag plus led and the growth rate since led has bin a massive increase guessing over double watts helps that tho

na pics dude. never figured out pics here. but i have cutt over half leafs off my smallest its took a beating. still good looking flowers tho which is odd.defo not on last legs but never had remove this many leaves b4 had loads orange n browning and downwards curling. its a lockout defo but not through nutes so gotta b ph i feel.
think wot i really wanna no is if growing in soil should i grow in soil with a 6.5ph or is that me talking shit no making no sence again. got a ph pen and easy sort water n feed ph out but want no if the soil gotta b 6.5ph. feel this soil is the cause as may b to low at 5.5-6

Soil PH wont be the problem mate, how do you know its deffo not nutes?? some of those nute release soils can overfeed your plants or a "hot" spot in the soil can cause a upfeed of nutes thats not required and burn your plants .... its really really hard to cause lockout in a soil grow because the soil buffers the PH , id never use a nute enriched soil for this very reason ... best advice i can give you is run 2 x the amount of water to pot size thru the pot ... ie, 6 ltr pot run 12ltr water thru it. after that let it 90% dry out (3 days or so) then start to feed your plants with a half amount nute mix but only enough so the pot dries out in a day or 2 and then after 3-4 days increase the nutes again , you should see improvement in a week to 10 days

if your going to use a slow release nute mix soil then i wouldnt use any other nutes at all apart from maybe pk13 /14 and boost toward the end of flower .. especially not for a 4month release soil :)
i prefer to use the soil that has no nutes in it ... b n q tomatoe grow bags are cheap n work great .. like a tenner for 3 bags or there about .. hope it sorts itself out mate :) keep me updated :D

I don't understand why anybody bothers with soil, unless they are a die hard horticulturist. It's much easier to use a neutral medium like coco.
