If its 8.5 surely that's why I'm getting yellow leaves?

If its that high possibly you have lockout in the soil around the roots hence the plants are only taking on some or none of what you are feeding them.
You said a while ago you flushed them so im not sure what to advise.
When u go out there is there any times the soil hasnt dried out completely before the next water ?

Sweet. I was thinking maybe a full dose of food would knock it down a bit.

I'll just go to bunnings tomorrow and buy some iron sulphate. The back of my dolomite line suggests it.

Weed plants like it slightly higher acidic soil so im thinking 7.5 would still be fine im unsure about 8.5 or so.....thing is if you think u can feed them to knock the ph down i dont think it will work as if ph is to high you would have some sort of lockout you would think ( only my thoughts i feel im right but i could be mistaken)
Im thinking feed what you have to that specializes in dropping ph then give a gd feed once ph is around 7..that way there shouldnt be a lockout and the plant should readily accept there nutrients it needs
I only ever check my soil ph before i plant as i cook my soil for 2 months prior

I accidentally grabbed magnesium sulphate (epson salts) : /. So I gave it to them and some food. If nothing changes in 3-5 days ill go back to the store and grab iron sulphate to adjust the ph.

Gonna water them for a week after that.

EDIT: Misses is picking some up on the way home, she's a good girl.

that's fine cos I reckon if its not locked out Epsom salts cal mags corrects the yellowing of leaves.in my thread the exp guys recommended Epsom salts to help my wonder woman pick up in green after white fly attack

Yeah. I guess i thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to try everything before i start fucking with the ph. Although I tested all the plants with a chemical ph test and all but one were purple/grey 7.5-8.5 ph.
I gave them a full feed with a spoonful of epson salts.
I'll water them every 2 days and see if it gets better within the week, otherwise, iron sulfate it is.
Thanks for the help lads.

gd luck man..i reckon a huge tablespoon in the 9 litre watering container is spot on for Epsom..it can be put in normal water or feeds doesn't matter and its hard to overdose on Epsom

Good to know man. Hopefully its up from here. They're not doing terrible by any means, just the yellowing at the bottom is annoying and makes them look shit.

The one doing the best has hardly any yellow leaves at the bottom but a few around the middle going pale/ yellow.

For me they still look normal. You will have yellowing when plants flower, its natural. They look very healthy. Once you have adjusted your PH let them stabilize (4-5 days) then give them a good feeding

I think I'm just getting a little ocd then.
Does this happen to your plants then?

I'll adjust the ph today will the iron sulfate. Just gotta sprinkle it on the top soil and water thoroughly in. Gave it epson salts and some food this morning.

It happens to all plants ;) which go through a seasonal flowering cycle. Yes it happens to mine too.
Besides possibly being a little hungry they do look great; those 1's with more yellow are likely heavier feeders.

Just dont go into overkill now they are flowering i reckon they look good ...be careful tho if u put new mulch on dont want to introduce bugs or insects at this stage...my 2 cents is id just feed bloom nutes soon once a week and just let them do their thing now
