I've been using an organic soil recipe to feed my plants that was given to me by a friend, although the end results smoke very nicely, I am noticing signs from my plants that something is just not right. From what I've read it looks to be either a cal-mag deficiency or nutrient burn.
here is the recipe:
in lbs
5 flax meal
3 alfalfa meal
1 greensand
1 sunflower seed hull ash
1 kelp meal
1/2 rock phosphate
3 1/2 high phosphorous bat guano
+ 5 gallons perlite
+ large bag (33 litres) worm castings
+ 1 lb lime
add that to a bale of HP
Plus I've been using Pure Blend Pro every other watering, up to 20ml per gallon of PBP Bloom, and using cal-mag Plus and Liquid Karma as directions on the bottle. Along with this I've added 10ml per gallon of molasses and 5ml per gallon soluble sea kelp.
The PPMs when I mix the PBP and everything else bring it to about 1500, and the ph is at 5.7-6.1 when I water. Water temp is 60 degrees.
Some leaves just seem to dry up from the ends and curl under or upwards. Some plants seem pale green and have yellowing around the edges. I took some pictures of a few leaves, is it too much to feed my plants ? they are large plants in 7 gallon containers. vegged for 4 weeks under lots of light. Temps are 74-80 deg. daytime, 72 nighttime
humidity is 50-65%
the room has co2
Any advice is greatly appreciated,
