I mean ummmm. No. Not at 1st. If your water is too hard / hugh ppm to begin with Phing isn't going to soften it.
Get a filter for that. Your soil doesn't need ph focus until many weeks into the grow.

I am not over watering or killing them with too much nutes. I am not using a weird spaced out mix.
Nor am I using a weird pH. I think I am getting it in line. However I still see lockout and need to keep trying different things until it gets all sorted. Yes Im in touch with various local companies to test different mixes.
If I was using some synthetic hydro chemical for pH up/down I guess that was a big red flag bad practice. Lets see if citric acid will help things.

Well those pots look pretty wet for those small plants so yes I think you're overwatering.
And that sure doesn't look like the 40% vermiculite 40% peat and 20% worm castings you said you're using as I can definitely see perlite. The pot on the top right sure looks like algae growing on the perlite which is a sign of overwatering. But you say your not so I guess that's that.
Good luck.

I believe this guy is smart and knows his stuff. I will watch all this video for more info, but from what i know of verm is to hold water, and perlite is to add air, both have purpose in cannabis cultivation but like all things too much is a bad thing. The best advice i can give you is to try to make a more balanced version of your soil. Start with the decent potting soil and add organic addmendments

Alright thanks for the advice. I will heed and keep experimenting. Maybe they need water only once per 3 or 4 days instead of every 2nd day. Anyways Im getting fed up with this mix.
The problem with Bruce Bugbee's work is that although he has a few good youtube videos, he hasnt written a book or something where we can see all the other detail and results of experiments he has done.

No you don’t need to bring it down that is what’s causing your issues. If your organic the soil will take care of it for you. You’re wasting your money.
