I don't have any recommendation other than a vermicompost topdress... . more often than not I would do nothing here.
Kmog that looks to me like an Mg problem. Did u ever figure it out? Cuz i have mg probs just like that sometimes and im yet to totally understand it. Have u checked ur ph?Ok so for you living soil guys. Have my first run going and most of my plants in the bed look like thisdark green and happy. A couple (1-2) of them in the same bed are getting a bit lighter and getting minor deff/lockout. Like this.any easy fix?

Why dont you water with Epsom salts...?Hey guys Hola! Long time lurker here, first time poster. Some of u might remember me from the bodhi thread, howdy.
Question. Im relatively new to organic living soil. Grew hydro for years, made the switch from the dark side bout a year ago. Love my organic soil
One problem i seem to have is keeping some of my phenos full w Mg. Some just cant get enough. I find myself foliar spraying w epsom salts alot. I dnt ammend w dol lime because all i can get is the long lasting granular kind. I live in the desert so cooking soil is not so easy for me. Its hard to get a micro colony goin when the temps soar past 120 on the reg.
Basically what i do is i make a custom soil mix based off the recipe here at the beginning of the thread(Cann's recipe). And since i cant cook it i will mix in 50% roots organics or ffof, and amend w oyster shell azomite and hf 5-5-5 all purp dry fert. This lets my plants feed while the rest of the nutes break down. Works pretty damn good honestly.
My prob is i dnt wanna buy bag soil anymore. But when i try to make my own, im always getting Mg def. I feel like even if i leave my soil to cook for a month, nothing breaks downn especially the granular dol lime i have.
Any suggestions on what to add for more available Mg? Ive tried langbenite, epsom salts, molasses, calmag, etc. Only thing that keeps em full w Mg is epsom salts foliar at 4-5 tbs per gal, but i cant spray em in late flower.
I do, occasionally. Mostly foliar tho. Not sure of its affects on the micro herdWhy dont you water with Epsom salts...?
What size potz..? No ACT's..? I put Epsom saltz straight into my res (only use it in flower) and they go through my Blumats. Microlife seemz to be flourishing if the worm count is any indication.. ( thatz what i use) heading into my 5 round with this soil...I do, occasionally. Mostly foliar tho. Not sure of its affects on the micro herd
Edit: maybe i shoulda mentioned- things are going fine, its not like its all hell broke loose. I shoulda mentioned that im trying to go more w a "water only" type soil. Yes i can keep em happy w fertigation and foliar feeding, but i wanna get away from having to mix water everyday. What could be amended that would supply enough Mg, given my situation?
Sounds good! Ive heard alot of people water w epsom salts w great success. Im always sketchy tho and im always cautious.What size potz..? No ACT's..?

Ok. Seem to have it locked in pretty good.Sounds good! Ive heard alot of people water w epsom salts w great success. Im always sketchy tho and im always cautious.
Yes aact prolly weekly (simple recipe compost+molasses+alfalfa+kelp+fish hyd.
I was doing 7 gal fab pots and still am. Not no til but organic living. But i just started round 1 no til 4×4' raised bed. I didnt amend w dolomite but used oyster shell, langbenite, green sand, azomite etc. Hope i will have enough Mg
What dilution rate do u use for the ES root drench? Do u amend with dol lime? Or topdress ES?
Your rockdusts will take care of the silica.I just mixed up a batch listed below
Whats is a good organic silica additive and is there anything for bud swell and bud booster to top dress with in flowering or a alfalfa or grass tea.
I have no idea what I am doing just want to grow some fire organic with huge buds hahaha
5 gallon bucket Premier sphagnum peat moss
5 gallon bucket Worm Castings
5 gallon bucket perlite
1 cup kelp meal
1 cup neem meal
1 cup crusteacean meal
1 cup gypsum
1 cup oyster shell flour
6 cups of Rock dusts (basalt,glacial,granite)
Thanks for the post. It was either potassium deficient or could access the p, just leveling out now. Other than being a bit ugly, no harm done.Kmog that looks to me like an Mg problem. Did u ever figure it out? Cuz i have mg probs just like that sometimes and im yet to totally understand it. Have u checked ur ph?
Ive got a ph soil probe on order. I know they say u dnt need it in organic soil but i need it lol. To me its like when yr car breaks down whats the first thing u do? U check if it has GAS. Same w ph. Theres a prob, whats the ph is my first question. I wonder if urs is a ph problem?
Anyways, hope u figure it out bro! Peace!
I grow my best pot when I leave them plants alone, big pots, lots of room for roots, lots of worm casting, tap water, lol, so easy!!Your rockdusts will take care of the silica.
As for boost... P/K high additives such as comfrey, (i water with) guanos (also water in), kelp perhaps (pretty slow release)
Some people like to add blackstrap molasses (water) toward the end of flowering (week 5 onwardz)
As for teas, i dont subscribe anymore...
