Possible Nitrogen Difeciancy?? anyone have some input?

Hey and thanks in advance for any ideas.

I recently switch nutes from my normal fox farm to the completely organic nute line Vital Earth. I was having amazing results the first 2-3 weeks, but then i started to notice the plants werent growing nearly as quickly as they were before. I repotted to avoid root bind, and switched from straight ff soil to a perlite%50/ff%50 blend. This was two days ago and the plants have not cleared up.

My main concern is noticing some of the lower leaves turning a blotchy yellow, and most leaves on the plant look a bit droopy. It doesnt look great, but ive never had this issue before. Any ideas???

The first image shows the garden in full to picture the drooping leaves.

Thanks again.

oh and this morning I added some worm casting to the top soil

looks over watered

I agree with Purp.

Could possibly be a little necrosis caused by over watering! Which is basically a lack of oxygen in the root zone from being too wet.

looks way too humid and wet. I would fix that first before worrying about any yellowing

thanks for the quick resposes, ill hold back on the watering a bit and see if i can get it to clear up

Could also be usefull to bubble an airstone in your feed before you water your plants.

I mix up my nutes in 18litre containers and this 18 litre container lasts 2 plants almost 1 week and i constantly have an air pump and airstone in the container.

Simple and easy way to dissolve oxygen into your nutes.

Or you could try some H2o2 liquid oxygen.

Looks very droopy.
How often do you water?

I have been watering almost daily, because that is what I was doing with the fox farm, nutes one day, water the next.

I have recently switched to an organic guano tea method. I also supplement with calmag, mineral matrix, hygrozyme and the their liquid nute(4-3-4).

It says to feed with the tea once a week after letting it sit 24 hrs with an airstone.
How should my feeding schedule look with all these?

Should I be mixing all my nutes into one res and feeding that all week whenever they get thisty?
Do I need to switch back and forth between nutes and pure h20 like with FF?
