super soil is making up a batch with all sorts of amendments. I also recycle my soil and use it over again and again, trying to maximize it's microbial count, and density, using it as a "spawn" to promote other beneficial microorganisms.

  • CRUSTACEAN MEAL. ...
  • FOSSILIZED BAT GUANO. ...
  • BONE MEAL. ...

  • ROCK DUST. ...(azomite)
  • KELP MEAL.

Sounds mental, is it cost effective and does it work better than the stuff we buy?I'm completely clueless lol.
Sure sounds like you got it down to a T
 
Some of the leaves are turning yellow ? Mainly fan leaves .. they were really dry.. we didn't have biobloom so had to give them biogrow again until the bloom arrives. Some pictures..

Not even sure if it's noticeable on pics but they're really light yellow

yea, might be magnesium/calcium or maybe a potassium thing going on here, lets see what others say first. I'm thinking mag tbh, although it's been insidious this whole time, it's just kinda become more pronounced.

What's your run-off ph, how many ppm you been hitting them with? the overall nutrition looks right, so it must be either a mag thing, or a ph issue is my guess.

I'm waiting to see if they recover in color after watering :p 600ppm of biogrow. The run off ppm varies per plant but roughly 600 to 900ish and the PH run off is also between 5.8 to 6.2 . Last few checks have been in the 6.2s

I'll have to start taking notes from now on

They look just a tad hungry. Not a bad thing unless they start getting a lot more yellow, you could probably up the feed to 700ppm and get some of the color back but you don't want them to get too dark green either.

Yeah I'm gonna check them tonight and have a wee look n see if the color is improving, got biobizz biobloom coming tomorrow for next feed
For some reason you cant see them going yellow in the pictures but they are lol, I'll try get better photos

Its probably just the color balancing on your phone camera.

More than likely .. they are all standing upright growing still .. Too early to tell but they still look amazing I'll just see how it progresses
 
Hey I turn, try a teaspoon of Epsom salt in a gallon of water for the yellowing ......

Not to much of an issue thats anthocyanins. Once you lower the nitrogen there is less photosynthesis in some leaves. Add to that some genetics produce more than others and if you lower temps to around 70 can be even nore pronounced. I do this last week or so of my grows to being out the colors. Anthocyanin is not present where chlorophyll is. Some strains produce it more in the buds and other the leaves. These will be purple, blue, red etc. Not an issue to see these colors but you may want to keep an eye on your nitrogen if they start yo yellow to much.

He is an example of this grow i just finished these plants. The purple is so dark its almost black. The leaves started out much like that just intervienal light purplish.

Thank you aqua. They were all fed 600 to 700 ppm. Run off was all 6.4. Biobloom. Here's pictures

Yeah pretty normal for some older leaves to start doing this after about 60 days the plants will shed them. Also reduced nitrogen when we switch to bloom nutes.

Thank you bud -).didn't even realise my friend posted a small speech. Pretty much said the same thing twice lol, joys of being on mobile
 
Just some random photos .. can't tell if the yellowing has stopped or not.. Just took some overall pictures if anyone wants to weigh in on there health..

The ppm and ph notes are muddled up. The bottom parts are the latest.. Just watered with water only today and that was the run off.

P.s what nutrients does everyone use for flowering stage? It's like £12 a pop every feed right now since 1L does one feed
