Ok so this is my first soil grow, I have done hydro with great success and enjoyed it but I wanted to try soil for a little more ease.
I am adjusting to soil world problems but this one seems to have me a little puzzled let me explain...
8x8 room walls have B&W poly on them.
2 600w MH bulbs however one is running at 50% for now.
6 inch intake of fresh air and 4 inch outake.
Average temp ranges from 75-78 day time and 66-68 night time with humidity at about 40% the whole time
Seeds started off in a miracle grow garden soil and did fine
They have been recently (2 weeks ago) transplanted into Sta-green flower and vegetable garden soil,
I added some vermiculite and perlite also some store bought compost (Harvest superpowered organic compost) Its prob 75% sat-green and 25% compost.
I am feeding them well water with 50-75% power General Hydroponics Floragrow nutrients
Strains:
Violator Kush-4
Sweet God- 3
Lemon head band Kush-1
Aroma-1
Royal Highness-1
Ok so about a week ago a couple started turning yellowish, then a couple went completely yellow from top to bottom. I thought and thought, figured maybe the soil was too low ph so I made up about 25 gallons of 50% nutrient water of exactly 6.5 ph and flushed the crap out of them. I tested the water running out of the bottom of the plants and turns out almost all of them was at about 6-6.2 telling me the ph was prob lower than that, and the bad yellow ones were really low 5.7-5.8. So i figured a nutrient lock out...
Its been 48 hours now, while they have had some improvement they still have me worried. Not sure what to do other than sit and wait.
I thought about doing some Foliar feeding of GH Floragrow only suggested dosage, or give a shot to each of just Floragrow no water at the base of the plant. Prob stupid but not sure what to do here.
Im just thinking its a nitrogen def.
