I love the sour cream pots! Lol
Haha thanks dude. The wife makes a killer homemade ranch dip which requires a ton of sour cream and you know us farmers are. We won't let anything go to waste that we could benefit from ;)
 
So in a few weeks the tent will be empty so I can disassemble and clean the tent very well. It seems to me that I WAS able to get the ph up (with dolomitic lime) closers to neutral (happy frog seems to be an acidic soil, everyone has this problem.) and almost completely stop the chlorosis, but I think they are still hungry for Phosphorus and potassium. I need some help from the queen of diagnosis, @Seamaiden. Should I bump up to the recommended dosage of GH 3 part flora series?I have been, at most, feeding half strength to avoid over feeding, because my flowering light is only a 400w hps.

Does anybody see any resemblance of over feeding? Maybe in the top leaves of the second picture? Barely? I'm just seeing under feeding...

This one and the one below I just harvested.

You can tell this one suffered early, like all of them were before I introduced the dolomite lime. Almost no leaves left! Makes harvest easier for sure lol.

These are the products I would like to start using.

I want to move away from using nutrients in water, because in nature the nutrients are in the soil, not the rain. I have an almost full 5 gallon bucket of used happy frog soil, that I have mixed in about a cup of dolomite lime to raise the ph to neutral, from about 4.5-5.

The roots organic elemental (dark green) pack is basically dolomite lime, calcitic lime, gypsum and fish protein. The grow (light green) pack has bat guano, worm castings, fish bone meal, kelp meal, green sand, soybean meal,glacial rock dust, alfalfa meal, feather meal, langbeinite, fish meal, dolomite, composted chicken manure, crab meal, blood meal, and nettle leaf. The bloom has fish bone meal, oyster she'll flower, kelp meal, greensand, soybean meal, glacial rock dust, alfalfa meal, feather meal, bat guano, langbeinite, rock phosphate, and hope flowers..

Grow npk 6-1-2
Elemental npk .25-.1-.1 +Ca 20%
Bloom npk 3-6-4

The bag of bat guano is npk 8-3-1

Can I mix up the stuff I want for veg in the five gallon bucket, and top dress the bloom product a week or 2 before I flip them?

What you think @str8smokn ?
 
I need to know if I should pour the whole package of grow into the 5 gallon bucket or follow the directions. Here are the directions.

Do I only put 2 tsp in the whole 5 gallon bucket of soil?
 
I would follow the directions,the whole bag will make a 5 gal too hot.

But if you mix everything correctly then yes you should be able to mix up a veg supper soil and top feed your bloom nutes as needed.
That's what I want to work up too.

That's a new one to me... Lol
They just look hungry to me.
I use Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil.

I'm really about going soilless. Feed every time you water, water every 2 or 3 days. Ph every bit of water that goes in. What kind of media would allow me to do it this way? This trying to guess what they need shit is hard. I kill it in dwc but for my space I would only be allowed one bucket. I can fit 9 pots or plants in the tent. If they were healthy I might only be able to fit 4. But if they were in the 5 gallon buckets the way I like to run em only 1 bucket would fit.
 
Well I started feeding cause they all started looking shitty. The 5 plants I have been spraying with Epsom salt and they are slowly starting to look better.

So this plants pot is almost completely dry, and the leaves are telling me over watered, if not over watered, then too much N, or food altogether.

I guess I will just water for a bit and see what happens...
 
My compost been must be decent enough

It looks like nitrogen and calcium maybe. But I'm still not the best at diagnosing.
But not sure with that red/purple stem.
