Also would be a bad idea to take a look at your bio availability chart for soil. I run coco so I tend to have to shoot for more acidic applications but for soil you'll want to hit a bit higher on your pH scaleMight not be a bad idea to give them somemacro nutrients. Some chelated iron can go a long way, foliar feeding is your best bet with that. Revive is a good one with a couple of those macros you're missing out on. Heavy foliar would be another good bet on boosting them back into their prime state
I’m in the green zone for nute uptake so I don’t think that’s the problem. You might def be on to something with the macros tho I need to check them outAlso would be a bad idea to take a look at your bio availability chart for soil.

i think you’re onto something here. I should stick with the fox farm nutes for the fox farm soil. Plant is having problems intaking nutes from the fish food bc there’s no micro organisms to break it down. I’m ordering fox farm grow big as we speak and cutting out the fish nutes. The yellowing looks like iron deficiency to me. I kinda had suspected it was something to do with soil health I just needed someone with a little more knowledge to fill in the gaps. Thank you guysHello and welcome t the forum.
When you start talking Organic potting mix and living soil there are a few little plays on words going on.
One Being organic. Your Ocean Forest is an organic potting mix but it is not a living soil filled with microbes and bugs known as the soil food web.
A fish fertilizer like you have added is a great fertilizer. When applied to a Living soil. The microbiology in the soil break it down into a plant available state. They eat it and excrete plant usable nutrients. You are actually feeding the microbiology in the soil itself.
A potting mix like Ocean Forest is a peat moss based potting mix with many amendments that can be described as organic.
But the potting mix does not have the living microbiology of living soil made from Composted vegetable matter, Leaves, grass clippings / Worm Castings that break down the fish fertilizer and make it bio available to the plant. You will need to find a fertilizer product designed to work with an
Organic potting mix like Ocean forest. Or use a suitable fertilizer from the hardware store.
I actually forgot to ask you about why you are using distilled water.i think you’re onto something here. I should stick with the fox farm nutes for the fox farm soil.

Thank you guyswill update in a week or so After I hit them with a pure watering and then a nute watering with the new fox farm nutes.
i mean I already account for the cost of distilled water spring water is the same price so it won’t bother me but is it good for the plants?I use city water and have no issues and my city water sucks!!!! Getting spring water is gonna be costly in the end.... tbh city water is your best way to go.... distilled water is worse for your plants than your local city water no matter what
