Subs Supersoil problems.

I'm running three 600 watts lights and 6 plants. Growing in 7gal black plastic grow bags in subs super soil, with EVERYTHING in it , and cooked for at least 45 days. Base soil is FFOF mixed with lucky dog. Honestly, they grow bad ass in veg, then when flipped, problems ensue. don't know what's going on but I've noticed that as soon as I switch to flower , I start having issues. They look great and then leaves start looking like they are crispy on the edges, to the point that if I touch them they crumble. Then i barely make it to harvest it seems. Getting maybe 2-2.5 ounces , 60 day veg, 60 day flower, and growing supposedly high yield strains. Blue dream, super skunk, bcbig bud, incredible bulk, etc. Maybe I was over watering , maybe they need cal-mag.ive tried calmag with nothing changing though. I don't know. I'm worried to add anything to this soil cause it has everything in it. I've never had a nice fade or anything like it's supposed to. It's like it starts dying threeweeks into flower . My room seems to have the perfect environment as well. Between 70 and 80f, RH at 50. Intake and outtakes, oscillating fans. one grow I didn't have the outtakes so I'm guessing that's the cause on one grow. But it was the same thing now after having intakes and outtakes input in, and this has happened since I've started growing with super soil. My first grow I used FF nutes and this didn't happen. Maybe I was over watering, maybe I'm not watering enough. Again , I am now using 7gal plastic grow bags and watering with 3/4 of a gallon of 6.5 ph rainwater this grow . I'm not having any water draining out like I did last time. Last time I was giving them a gallon of water every 4 days or so. I thought maybe I was over watering last time and flushing it and that's not what you do with Supersoil I read. Makes
Sense. I'm about to flip some here in the next couple days and document it on here .maybe you all can help. I'll keep
You all posted with pics and hopefully this doesn't happen again, and maybe I can get a higher yeild. I would die if it got 5 zips per plant LOL! That would be close enough to a pond per light for me with three plants per light . I'm growing blue dream again, incredible bulk( supposed to be giant buds) sour D and one called caboose this time. This is what the leaves look like after three weeks of flower, and then a full plant pic of them in veg.
Thanks everyone in advance . Great place to be a part of .

aren't those soils designed to be used individually? I'm not sure that mixing them, if that's what you've done, is such a good idea. I think the idea behind these soils is that you can go from start to harvest adding nothing but water to the soil. You don't flush because then you're washing stuff out. I don't know what's causing the leaf browning. It could just be heat, but 80 is warm but not too bad. It seems like plants indoors are more sensitive to warmer temps, but not sure if that's it. it's possible that this is the result of a missing micro nute, like copper or boron. I think the lesson is that if your grow worked with foxfarm nutes, maybe you should stick with it. people like to make changes and get away from what works, just to experiement. it just opens the door to problems like this.

I ran that soil once and it did pretty well, nothing like what you are seeing. I went water only and got a little bit of an early fade. Works better with a few teas applied and myco fungi populations. One thing I wonder about, did you mix it up in a large batch or small? I have a feeling that if you do not mix it up in a large enough batch you may not get the critical mass needed for fast composting. Not sure that is your issue or why it would not have dried them out in veg if it was. Good luck!

I mixed up a big batch with everything in it. This the T. I have no idea why this is happening to tell you the truth. When I ran just plain FFOF soil and nutes this never happened. When I chopped them all down the roots were huge too. Now, I've noticed that when I cut these plants down in Supersoil the roots aren't as big or anything. In fact I don't see them at the bottom of the 7 gal container. I'm gonna try some compost tea and see if it helps the roots grow. I switched to the Supersoil because it's water only and I got tired of mixing nutes and adjusting PH. I might go back to that though if this next grow doesn't do better. I made a batch of Supersoil up 50days ago So I will use it this next grow and see what happens and use some tea on both. Speaking of tea, should I just use worm casting and molasses , or can I add bat guano too ?

You didn't let it cook long enough I had similar problem cook a little longer and one thing I did was add great white to the mix never had a spot on a leaf since
