Outdoor with Promix with Gaia Green 4-4-4, 2-8-4 + seaweed tea, Thrive B1, light amount of worm castings. Rain water 80% tap water 20% (hard water), water is between 6-6.5ph, 15 gallon pot. 1 out of 2 of the same strain affected both same size pot and same feedings.

Worm castings are good with dry amends.
Adding anything for microbes/bacterials/fungi's to help break down?
When was the last time you fed?
What pot size?
Do you use humic/fulvic?

Microbes via Worm castings, Great white mycorrhizae and the mycorrhizae that came in the grow mix.
2 1/2 to 3 weeks ago I fed and they been green and happily growing quickly until the last 2-3 days. One pot is a 15gal and the other is 12gal. Only the 15gal is showing the issue at this moment.

Humic/fulvic i haven't added unless it's in the soil mix that is "natural sphagnum peat moss combined with dolomitic lime stone, perlite, vermiculite, mycorrhizae, a natural wetting agent plus a starter charge of nutrients."

Looks like they're starting to get hungry then. No worry.
2-3 weeks they could be due for a top dress @ 2TBSP per gallon of medium. Remember it takes time (7-14 days for them to begin to absorb it.)

Thank you, i'll top dress today. After the last feeding it was about 8-10 days before they started showing signs they were absorbing it. This is my first try at organic growing, usually i just use synthetic nutes.

With Gaia Ive found its better to feed less and more often,say like 4-6 tablespoons every week instead of a cup a month.
Mix in with EWC and cover so its always moist,

This time I top dressed with 1/4 of the recommended amount of Gaia which i will do each week going forward. That will make it easier when adjusting of the ratio of 4-4-4 to 2-8-3 for the flowering stage.

Ive dug trenches in the soil then top water over daily just a little for a quick N boost.dec2 21 025.JPG

I think I may have found the issue, plant is in a black pot which i had covered but wind blew the covering away then we had 3 days of sun and heat which i think may have cooked the roots. Possible?

Hmm now that you mention it .. when I measured out the GG the last time I made a mistake and mixed in 25% 4-4-4 and 75% 2-8-4 instead of the opposite. Is the extra P in the 2-8-4 GG the cause?
