So heres what i got.
3 plants in Roots organic soil plants are about 6 weeks old and in flower for 10 days. they are in 4 gal pots and the last 2 times i watered i hit them with Garden Magic Nutes. but it still seems like they are lacking somehting. i dont think this is nute burn.
My worry is that the next time i water i should flush but i would hate to do that when i should add more fertilizer.
Please, any advice is welcome.

Thanks, in advance

I agree, they are starting to show deficiencies, nitrogen, magnesium, and looks like it could be some others. Well, since you didn't mention the PH, I'm assuming that you don't know where it's at? If that's the case, I know you don't like the idea but you might want to give them a light flushing(like 1 1/2 times the pot size). Just make sure that your flushing water is PH'ed correctly,(and the fert) and they should recover just fine. Then you can feed them when your done, and let them dry out for a few days. Also, if that fert doesn't contain trace nutes, you should invest in a bottle of Cal-Mag, the newer stuff that contains trace nutes. If you use that alone with what you're using now, you shouldn't have any more deficiency problems(as long as the PH holds). Best of luck man. :)

I always water with PH Ballanced water. I have a cheap PH meter that you stick in the soil and it says that it is 6.5 I also test the runnoff water and it was 6.

So when you say flush should i use nutes in my flush water???? i thought you shouldnt hit them with nutes every watering???

Flush with just water, at least as much water as the volume of the pot, THEN flush with a new nutrient mix

And you dont have any deficiencies, looks like you got bugs, check under the leaves for black dots and white eggs

Thanks for the advice but i dont have mites. I have goe through that before and know what to look for.
I am going to flush them then hit them with some more nutes and keep my fingers crossed. Also going to invest in a bottle of Cal-Mag,
