Hey guys, i have some seedlings in Sunshine #4 mix, i noticed they started yellowing abit and gave them some General Hydroponics Grow and Micro at about 500ppm.

Now i got what i think is a mag difficiency (maybe potassium) but i would like some opinions so i can avoid this in my future.

They look fine to me, you are never going to have a plant and not see something with it meaning it will never be perfect green unless you have everything perfect.

I think you are supposed to use the GH Flora Bloom with that fert mix. Could be Phos or Magnesium. Sunshine #4 is not a good soil for noobs, it has very little fertilizer in it, almost inert.

Anyways, here is a feeding schedule for General Hydroponics Flora Series.

Thanks its much appreciated but i am using the lucas formula, i have a weak nute mix of 1-1-1 (grow/micro/bloom) and a bit of epson salt to 600ppm. going to feed with that. I am aware that Sunshine #4 is a soilless medium which is why i choose to run it i am just trying to get past the learning curve. From my understanding my tap water (270ppm) should have enough mag and cal to keep my plants healthy. but i do know that when i add PH down, and let it battle the water it goes from 7.8ish to 5.9 then over a few hrs it settles at 6.4ish.

Great looking plants man, definitely looking into TGA for my next grow. Thinking JTR, Agent Orange or Apollo 13, sub seems like a trustworthy nice guy with bomb genetics.

Rootbound, repot and make sure all feeds and waterings are 6.5 ph.
