is it alright to top feed my non supersoil plants with supersoil?

while ive been waiting for my supersoil to get done setting up, Ive been using bio-bizz to feed my plants and honestley I think its starving my plants. Its messed up because my plants started showing nanners and the people i obtained my clones from have never had a problem with herms from any of there genetics and have been growing for many many years. not the best week i suppose.

my plants are all in 3 gallon containers in week 4 of flower the bigger ones are yellowing and the bottoms of the leaves are purple. Last saturday i had a Phosphorous deficiency bad enough to make the old leaves curl up and get some spots.

Ive feed them 3 times since last saturday and there growing strong with the leaves all at point and happy but the bigger they get the less green they get and the purpler the bottom of the leaves get.

Like the title says im thinking about top feeding them with my super soil that is ready its 2 months old.

Can't say much to the nanners - there's lots of things that can freak a plant out. I always just seal myself in the room for 5-10 min and let my eyes adjust and then sit around looking for leaks or my equipment giving off a glow. At first I didnt realize how bright the LED on a fan I had was... No nanners thankfully.

You can topdress the supersoil into your pots, but you said you were in week 4, so pretty soon you should start seeing some color fade with the true colors coming out. You can up your amount of bio-bizz to see if that helps before topdressing the SS. Within a week or two your leaves should start fading pretty good, so its just a little early. I would just raise the ppms on your feeds and see if that helps slow the fade within a few days. If it doesnt then you could always topdress and still have 3.5 weeks left.

Also, how low do your temps get? The purple can be from colder nights... or deficiency but its hard to tell without pics or more info. Temps, lights, strain, etc...

yes...as long as the plant is large enough to handle the feeding it will be beneficial.
 
thanks. So im growing under two 600 watt hps, My temps are 75 when the lights on and could dip down to 60 when off because I have no heater, the strain was supposed to be royal kush(purple kush,sour diesiel,true kush) but my friend called and said he might have grabbed the wrong ones and it could be the afghoo(the cut only strain that taste like menthol blueberry),happy frog soil with coco coir added(2 bags HF to 1 brick of coir), Ive used bio bizz all the way thru but was following the all mix schedule untill last saturday when the defeciency showed then switched to there light mix schedule and was told to feed 3x then water.

the clones were stressed when i got them so much that the entire stem was purple and as they got food u could see the stems change to normal. then i under fed them i think would that cause a hermie? all my starts are of these and dont want to continue with herms but i know this stuff is dank. ive been smoking on it for yrs


I can expect the purple from either of those strains but is it normal for underneath the leafs to be purple? it worries me because one of the signs of Phosphorous deficiency is the bottom of leaves turning purple.

thanks for any replies im kinda stumped

I've had a grow where they got stressed and had purple stems and main stalks. The buds were fine and so were the clones. I would upload some pics if you can.
 
the picture with the yellowing plant is a different strain then all the others and doesent turn purple under the leaves its also about a foot taller and way faster grawing then the rest. I think this plant started greening up some before the light went off. It definitley had a phosporus deficiency a week ago i lost just a couple leaves

the ones with purple under the leaves actually look pretty healthy some are kind of pale/olive green on the tops.

Last nite i was due to water them i had fed them 3 times before this, I didnt know what i should do so i just gave them plain water but only about half as much as i usually would water them.

They are on day 25 of flower.

I did have a light leak in my room could bareley tell because my lights off early in the morning but this morning the sun was shining on the outside wall and right at the edge of a covered window the light was coming thru the edge were white duct tape was, so i covered it with aluminum tape. Feel so stupid!!!

Also i noticed my enviroment controller has some bright green leds so i covered them up pretty well might move the controller out of the room. would those green leds be enough light to mess with stuff?
