Guys, I'm having a lot of trouble with my super soil run here lately. The plants were crushing it in veg, and now that I've gotten to flower, it seems I have a bad magnesium lockout or something, as the leaves have started yellowing from the bottom up, canoeing in, looking like a severe magnesium deficency.
i don't know what to do, the only difference between this run and my last run wad I changed to a different base soil (from roots to a local mix that was crushing it for me in veg) and I'm using r/o water instead of we'll water.
My jellybean is in about 40-50 percent SS, where the Chernobyl is the lightest feeder I have, so it is in 100 percent base.
im adding cal mag from botanicare at 5-7 ml per gallon, bringing my ppm up from 000 to 250-300, ph'd to 6.5 and the problem hasn't gone away. I've gone all the way up to 12 ml/gallon and not seen an improvement.
A couple members suggested feeding, and all that has done is burn the leaves to a crisp on some of the lower fans (fed with 1/2 strength botanicare pbp)
Im almost ready to flush with 7.0 000 ppm water and check the runoff, but I need some suggestions.
On a side note, flower development doesn't appear to be TOO stunted, but I know it has to be to some degree.
the first pics are of the plants in week 1 of flower

heres a pic of the base soil I'm using, I used the same soil for my super soil
http://tinypic.com/r/qrcebo/5
i followed the recipe, but left out the humic acid and azomite as the base already had those products in it (where as roots didn't).
any help is GREaTLY appreciated.
