Supersoil plants

ive been running these plants in super soil and I’m not sure but they seem to be growing slower than I’d expect. I did add dolomite lime to the top base mix to stabilize ph I think that might be what’s cause it anyone have any advice on this. I’m trying to follow subs mix and pot size to see if I can get similar results. My supersoil base was coco loco top base 50/50 happy frog ocean forest with dolomite lime

Your plants look fairly healthy but some of the bottom leaves are showing some kind of necrosis. Not sure if that is from heat, lack of light, or something else but I wouldn't do anything too drastic. Things tend to happen slower in organic soil than they do in comparison to a hydroponic grow. You don't mention adding compost or brewing compost teas; I would try top dressing with worm castings and kelp meal and/or bubbling an AACT with similar ingredients. Will not make the plants grow much faster but will help increase microbial activity thereby increasing availability of nutrients. Does not appear to be an absorbtion problem; d-lime may not be the root cause. What is the source of your water?

Got a tall boy dechlorinator

Ok so that is RO filtration? The reason I ask is because some peeps have a well or hard water and need to add sodium which can cause necrosis that looks sorta like that. RO filtered water should be fine.
Some brands of coco also contain high levels of salts which is usually bad for living soils but looking at the website for coco loco it says "triple washed," "low sodium content" which doesn't give me confidence that you should rule this possibility out. If you were growing with nutes it probably wouldn't be an issue at all but the fungi in most living soils do not do not like sodium at any level. I suggest next time to use a coir that is very well rinsed like cocogrow from botanicare.
Either way I would not do anything other than watering as normal except maybe adding some EWC as a top dressing and/or giving them a simple aerated compost tea. They look so healthy other than those few bottom leaves.

I’m in SS, I’ve noticed my plants growing slower then some others but then again I’m mainlining. However what i found that did help, Extreme Gardening Mykos and Azos at every transplant and toppings every couple weeks when watering.

Also to level off your ph I’ve found 1tsbp of molasses per gal once every 2-3 weeks works for me.

Yea mykos is good stuff used it a few times never tried azos kinda expensive. I got the molasses and fish emulsion out for teas so I’m gonna do those every now and then.

Yea Azos is kinda expensive but when used together it’s amazing the difference you’ll notice.

One of plants is starting to do this. Looks like manganese deficiency

From i see I’d agree.

I have a blue lab ph probe soil pen tester it read at around 6.0-6.2 around base of stock I added a good amount lime to top half of mix. Should I just water with 6.8 ph

I Ph my water to 6-6.5. When adjusting your soil, do a little at a time and work those number down slowly. I’ve found this doesn’t shock the plants.
