The reported thing was just a joke. But it would've been more helpful to just add to one of your original threads. And not everyone agrees. Even in the flushing threads, :bigjoint:
Still getting a hang on this whole forum works anyways will do next time. I felt a proper post was needed anyways since I had a better layout for information which I could’ve edited anyways I suppose.

It helps to see the old pic from a week ago too. Sounds like you got the liquid fish and kelp. That will help but it's not gonna be quick, and you're beyond just a little kelp and fish if you ask me.

You said you gave an Epsom foliar? Just once?

If it was me and I had that soil I'd topdress with EWC. Maybe water some extra microbes in too. I'd also use water that already has minerals or add your own and cut out the Hydro stuff for now. Some more Epsom wouldn't hurt either. Good luck.

That's who Harvey the grow guy works for you know who I mean? He has web classes and quite a few grow videos out on the web. Listened to a interview with him this week. Seems to know loads of great stuff and managed not to come across like a chemist talking to other chemists. Actually want to spend more time listening to his stuff.
Huh? Harvey the grow guy? Im not sure who he is..

Toxic nonsense on a post looking for simple help is not appreciated…. If this were a different conversation, sure bring it…

Any latest pics ?
Looked at “ Stonington “ blend and its ph - it seems they try to keep it at a range of 6.0 - 6.8 out of bag.
Run water at 6.6 - 6.7 ( allowing for ph drift ) - no special water . Just regular water. Most city sources have calcium / magnesium component covered. Stop the the Dynagro - you may be compounding the overfeed / imbalance.

Autos only need simple feeds - no multi bottles - no heavy amendments .
They need an average of 100 days in pot ( give or take ). Most bagged mediums would carry half of the feed right from the start without adding anything. Dynagro foliar pro is good stuff but is very concentrated - little bit goes a long ways - plus you will not like the shelf stability when stored , it drops out of suspension and when you shake bottle , it rattles.

Since that “ soil “ mixed is so concentrated- technically you could just scoop a cup or 2 on top of container soil and water that in.
No outside feed needed as you are recharging something the plant already is accustomed to.

Here’s a couple photos from this morning, fed and watered yesterday. Appreciate the help. I think obviously come to the conclusion that this is a deficiency and could have been different from the beginning if I was using tap water. I am using distilled and started to have this issue so I was like sure feed to give the plant what it’s missing. I agree completely that the soil should’ve had what it needed and so in the beginning of this issue I was like oh it ran out, not realizing that it’s just missing the extra fun from the tap water. So that’s really all I fed for, I was originally going to not feed at all since it was going so great up until I noticed the yellowing. So you’re saying stop the dynagrow completely ? I’ve fed like 5 ml to each plant over 2 waterings since I started that stuff.

They really are not that bad considering and definitely could be course corrected. Some growers end up French frying their plants with overkill.
But yours still is uniformly green so that’s good.

No absolutely not bad I didn’t think, and correct me if I’m wrong but I assume they will finish out and be okay most likely since there is prolly only 4 weeks or so left ? I just am kind of a perfectionist and I would like them to just be good and perfect which is near impossible on the first grow not knowing much at all.

It really doesn't look that concentrated. I'd bet FFOF is hotter. If he used a 15 gal he could've probably done water only. Of course if he's using distilled he should be adding back micros though.

He could've even got the lobster, kelp, EWC mix they sell. It looks like their directions say to start adding nutrients after 3 weeks. Or he could've bought the stuff separately and mixed his own to save money. And it looks like all their Bloom one is just fish bone meal but it might have EWC too, I don't know.

Never ran lobster / baluga whale compost or whatever. Who knows what regular shellfish component is really in it.

Looks like a heavily nuted soil ( super ).

Coast of maine makes an organic nutrient to run in these soils it can be found at any hardware store in my area and seemed to work pretty well on the soil plants I grew outside last season. I can give ya more details on it in little bit one I get home.
I would take bubz info to use tap water and you can use citric acid to remove the chlorine but I personally wouldn’t even worry about it.

I don't think it's MG because it should start at lowest leaves been highly mobile and by the time it creeps up thise lowers should look like shit, plus you've foliar fed without improvement.

I don't think it's iron because that typically works it's way outward from the stem of the leaf.

I'd say its highly likely that switching it from 24h of light down to 20h max and having a dark period will see a halt in it getting worse and what looks like MG will correct itself .

But I am prone to seeing slow light burn and light stress.
