Leaves all turning lime green then to yellow fairley quickly...

[ike1974]

My outdoor plants are turning pale/lime green fairley quickly all over... each day there more soo... There in a potting mix... Im having to water them every 2 days... run off must be quick, but not noticed!?! Im adding 20/20/20 every couple wk's thats it...! My well water is around 8 Ph... So i bring it down to Between 6 & 7ph... 6.5 preferably & then water... Is this the proper way to Correct my Ph? Ive never checked the Run off water b4... Ive grown this way b4 with no coloring like this... But b4 i was using Miracle grow crap soil supposedly, so this time i used $15 bk a bag stuff... Had a starter charge in it it said, and the Nitro was a bit high id say, i had clawed tips, dark leaves, and fast large growth... That finally came out of it, and now aLL my plants are lightening up in color quickly... I tried an extra dose of 20/20/20 on just 2 plants 4 days ago, but nothing changed...

She's hungry. Yellowing from the bottom up means she wants some N.

To me... just seeing this picture i would say that if your feeding 20/20/20 thats plenty of nitrogen, maybe twice as much or more than is needed. With that being said if your PH is off you could be locked out.

to answer your question about PH, I always add my nutrients then correct PH. I also test the runoff as well. I always water @ 6.4 to 6.5 and my runoff is always the same. Do you check ur EC your feeding and your runoff EC

It also looks like calmag deficiency but i cannot tell from the distance. some clawing going on as well. My best advice right now would be to flush and test the PH & EC
Salt buildup & overfeeding can appear to be something else like under feeding.

I need to water alot more often then im feeding... so i need to adjust my tap water Ph everytime?!? 6.5 i try for... I mentioned, that all im doing is watering them(every 3, or 2 days sometimes lately! They dry quick!), and giving them 202020 every couple wks... Ive grown these plants b4, and never had the issue... Did any1 read my Post?!!

Are they both in Solo Cups??
Prolly sucking those pots dry and all the nutrients with it.
Maybe try stepping up pot size, or use the earth if they can stay put

No man, those solo cups r only a few inches deep... i started them in that. cut the bottom off and sit on top of a pail of mix... was sick of dumping out plants upside down and having them crumble to shit b4 i got it switched to another pot... so i simplified it... those cups have nothing to do wth anything now...

I'd say i found the Problem... Like i mentioned, i put my well water down to 6.5 ph (from 8ph) and then water the plants, ive never checked the run off b4 until today.... So today i just watered wth strait 8ph water and then checked the run off... The run off was down to a 6 ph... WoW So since ive been automatically putting my tap water down to 6.5 b4 watering, tht mean's my Ph was around 5ph or so... Way too low correct?!.

yes way too low.. which could be from salt buildup from your nutrients... invest in cheap ec/ppm meter

The Miracle-Gro had timed released nutrients that kept feeding the plant in your previous grow. That plant looks hungry.
