I like your setup look awesome. It kinda looks like a phosphorus or calcium deficiency

I agree. Def not phosphorus though. I’m in agreement on the cal though.

So this is living soil indoors?
I like the setup. What lights are you using? How far above your plants are your lights?
Most of your plants have that wrinkled blistery cooked buy the light look.
The brown blotches are calcium deficiency. A teaspoon of Gypsum per square foot will deal with that.
You could also apply 1 teaspoon of Dolomite lime per square foot. This is Calcium and Magnesium.
At this volume it will not bother your soil PH but it will provide needed calcium.
You need to top dress again just about the time flowers start.
What are you feeding your soil?

Yes living soil indoors. I used buildasoil craft blend and a general bagged compost (yuck). I’ll give the Dolomite lime a try. The light would make sense. It’s a new light I’ve never grown with before. A company called high grove and it’s 795w + UV. So it might be a bit too low since it’s pretty powerful. Plus the plants on the other light look good.
Thanks bro, I’ve done living soil with bagged buildasoil in 15 gallon pots. But this is my first go in the new grow room. And I bought the soil locally from a greenhouse. Not sure if that was a bad idea or not :\

I'm sure lifting the light will sort out your issues. That is a very powerful light. Don't let anything grow closer than 30" until stretch. Then maybe as close as 24" but that's pushing it. Be careful or you could burn your nice new bud stalks.
Your cover crop seems to be doing ok in the new soil but looks a little light stressed as well. I guess time will tell.
You plants will likely take right off and grow for you and the Dolomite lime will sort out the calcium issue in short order.
The blotched leaves will not heal. But the problem should not get worse. Or show up on new growth.

Living soil is hard to get dialed in, I do my own variation of it. Good luck

I used to use lime, pH would skyrocket during flower. I even added sulfur/gypsum mix around that time to lower it.
That was a pointless balancing act. Now I use oyster shell flour/granules. Does a good job stabilizing the pH adding calcium. Also first signs of marks and stress just go ahead and lower(as in dim sorry lol) lights. First thing I do sometimes that is actually the issue which in turn makes the deficiency worst.

Everybody want to raise and lower light. I mount mine as high as possible. I dim my light to 40 % during veg and progressively increase the intensity during flower.

Off season, I indoor micro grow.
But in the summer time I grow Real living soil in pots.
I was wondering, how deep is your living soil raised bed?
I happened to find this web sight on outdoor organic gardening. And made my own fertilizers.
I'm not suggesting that you use JLF indoors as it stinks to high heaven but you may find a few of his videos interesting.

Oh and yeah I put my pulse pro down there which has a ppfd meter… over 800ppfd… whoooops. So yeah light burn. Thanks for the help everyone!

Dolomite lime is commonly used to raise pH up to about 6.5 to 7.0.

Has anyone used sohum....I've started to hear good things about this brand... I do not have space to make my own compost soil...

I'm a halfway crook with loving soil, I don't go full living soil. Someday when my kids are old I'll have the time and money.
