How did you measure pH? Best to do a soil slurry ph test
Yeah, calibrated with buffering solution.
Soil test was done with a couple of samples slurried in distilled water
Yep deficiency due to pH lockout, I might be wrong but if you are feeding/have been feeding then there's probably an accumulation of salts in the soil but i am no expert with soil so I'm sure the real soil growers here will jump on and correct me. If you can try to get a runoff ppm reading it may pinpoint the issue? Hopefully you can sort it
Jeez, not what I wanted to here, what a complicated mess this indoor growing is
Well seaweed can be salty according to some here, while I haven't had issues with seasol powerfeed etc outside I will agree to an extent with the argument about 'seaweed ferts being salty', it shouldn't be an issue unless there's some lockout happening, it will accumulate more over time, pretty sure there's a load of potassium in seaweed too sojeez, not what I wanted to he

I've been feeding organic liquid fertiliser (professors bloom - fish and seaweed based) - does this tend to accumulate as salts? I thought organics weren't 'salts' so to speak..?
Organic nutrients can still accumulate salts in the medium due to the way fixation and barter works in the rhizosphere, especially if the whole ecosystem isn't in sync. One example: organic nitrogen is broken down by microbes into a gas (NH3) which will react with acids to form salts over time. Microbes also excrete digestive enzymes/acids (humic and citric acids) which will help facilitate this chain reaction.jeez, not what I wanted to he

what size pots are you in & talk about your watering = when & how you water
It's just the one plant in a 8 gallon pot. I'm watering every second or third day at the moment. Filtered water, watering can from the top. I have a fungus gnat issue going on so have been conscious of letting the top soil dry out between waterings. Never super dry though, has been hot and humid here.
Hey mate. I don't know a lot about genetics etc , and how 7E genetics produce theit strains, but anyway I'm a bit of a noob grower. but I did notice when growing their stuff it behave kinda like this for their backseat preacher and their Kraken. They seem to colour up aftywer a few weeks. Not sure if its what they've crossed with or what but that looks normal to what I've grown of theirs.
I'd go 5.5, dump it in and keep going until runoff reads 6 or and EC at 0.4-0.6, then mix up your gogo juice and a tablespoon of Epsom salts in an 8l watering can and dump it through pH'd to 6, with plenty of runoff. Then wait for the pot to get very light before watering again. I wouldn't use much molasses either, infact I would only use it if making aerated teas, should be plenty of guano too in the soil, no need for any more at this point on just make teas from it. Just use your bottled nutes I reckon, maybe gogo juice once every few weeks, gnats are a sign of overwatering but not much of a concern until you've got plague proportions
Yeah, looking through their strains online I was seeing lots of interesting colouration in flower, which is why I thought maybe genetics (inexperience playing into it too). Thanks for your input!
