All of my plants keep yellowing. *****I can not figure this out

TBH it is easy as pie. Sometimes I wonder how people manage to fuck it up so readily. All I do is buy a balanced off the shelf mix, something suitable for growing in containers, then I add some Perlite. For feeding I just use Liquid Seaweed and PK48. Dead easy. Every few feeds I give them a dash of Epsom Salt, just because.

I've noticed most that have issues in soil are either overfeeding or fooling around chasing pH. I've grown in numerous bagged soils, FFOF Happy Frog, Black Gold, etc... I never feed before 4 weeks and always water with straight tap water that has chlorine and chloramine and a pH of around 8. Plants are always healthy.

Up until recently I didn't own a Ph meter. I got one and an EC/PPM meter on Black Friday. I bought it primarily for my Hot Tub, my tap water is 6.3, not that I actually care. I am fairly sure that the microbes in my soil and my plants couldn't give a flying fuck either. My grow is simple, cheap and I get results I am satisfied with. I don't get deficiencies either.

That is very low for tap water. My ro comes out around 6, straight tap around 8.
I have not had problems with my tap in soil grows, so i guess it doesnt matter all that much

It is what I am reading and the annual report on this area from the water company confirms that. I also only have a PPM of 67.

The pH thing is way overboard. It really is.

Boatguy is 100% correct. If you cannot grow in soil, then it may be very difficult for you to grow hydroponically. My suggestion is simple, get a neutral grow medium mix, and get the FloraGro 3 part series. That is about as easy as it can get to grow excellent cannabis.

Actually there is an easier way. Just use flora nova bloom the whole run. That's it.
 
Aye, most growers dedicated to the art can grow in soil and hydro. All boils down to preference. Do what works best for you, if you make mistakes, ye learn.
