Ooo I had read about bioag tm7 somewhere else and forgot about it, thank you! I'm going to try that. Dont remember where I bought the biochar and I dont believe it was charged?

‘uncharged’ biochar can be a disruptor by tying up nutrients. It will continue to pull nutrients from your soil and your liquid feedings until it is "Charged". This is going to get worse over time, But I would still flower the plants. When you recycle the soil be sure to sift out any large chunks of biochar and charge it before reincorporating it into your mix.

Reason I asked is because I recently tried my hand at super soil and failed miserably. Bought a bunch of azomite, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, crab meal, guano, rock phosphate, ewc, etc... I mixed everything up but didn't let it cook. Worst grow I've had in years. I'm back to growing in coco for now.

Something is out of balance with that mix you're using. I wish I could tell you what but I can't. Hopefully you get things resolved and your plants do great. Maybe someone with experience growing in organic supersoil will chime in with some advice.

Semi new to growing, I grow in my own version of supersoil.
1/3 peat, 1/3, compost/worm castings, 1/3 perlite
Amended with:
Kelp meal
Neem seed meal
Crab meal
Gypsum
Malted barley powder
Azomite
Biochar

Currently running 3 plants in a 4x4 (was running 4 but one turned out to be a male)
All of my plants look fine except for 1 of em. It's starting to yellow from top down it looks like? With some leaves having white or yellow fading in between veins...

What could be lacking in that pot? They all get the same feedings which consists of mainly RO water, occasional cal mag and occasional topdressing and foliar. Yellowing started about 3 weeks ago and I just flipped the lights to 12/12.

In case anybody was wondering if I fixed the problem... it was definitely a deficiency but not because the soil was lacking something. My dumb self was watering too often so the roots were drowning and not taking up nutes. Didnt think of it because they didnt look very droopy. Until I looked at my only green plant and noticed bloated leaves and a droopy curve on the entire leaf that it dawned on me. I still cant seem to make one of em perk up and pray tho :/ (last picture)

Poke some holes in the soil, get some oxygen to it.
