Damn dude that AK is doin it! She looks to be in practically perfect condition.
I think the dankouver leaves are yellowin at the bottom because they aren't receiving enough light. The rest of her leaves look like the have plenty of N
That Sage N Sour looks pretty much on par with the AK man.
PH pen would help a bit, but honestly they are going really well without the use of one. Goes to show you have some life in your soil. Theoretically if you have the correct establishment of microbes the PH of completely organic nutes shouldn't matter because the microbes break down the complex organic substances into simple inorganic minerals and transfer them to the plant while the plant gives them exudates in return. The Balance of fungi and bacteria in the soil in turn balance the PH of the soil with the acids and slimes they give off. In a highly biologically active soil the microbes determine the PH not the solution. This all works of course if the balance is correct.
Frostedlove is right dude. I remember buying a cheap $15 dollar pen off ebay last spring. It lasted a year and then it wouldn't calibrate anymore(what do you expect for $15). I'd say it was a worthwhile investment considering the low cost and amount of time it lasted. Buying a PH pen definitely opens up to a lot of other nutrient choices.
I just gave the Sage N Sour as well as the Dankouver some GO with Humega in it. Checked the PH but didnt' adjust it. Usually GO sits at around 4.9-5.0 but after I added the Humega at half dose it bumped it to 5.5. So next time I'll try full dose Humega. Maybe it will bump it to 6.0.
