:wall: my plants are turning yellow

Well I guess I have a nutrient deficiency... so today I added the amount the back of liquid karma and pure blend grow tells me to add per watering..

1 1/2 tbs pure blend
2 tbs karma

what does per watering mean when doing hydroponics?

should I mix the nutrients in with water and add them into the basin?

should I just put the amount it tells me and just add it in daily?

or how should I go about adding nutrients to my plants?

it means you are using a soil nutrient in hydroponics.

should I mix the nutrients in with water and add them into the basin?

I do it that way.

should I just put the amount it tells me and just add it in daily?

I would suggest that you add the proper amount according to the label, and then and only when you need to add more water, do you add the proporinate amount of nutes into that additional water. There are dozens of aeroponic grows ont his site. find them and ask them.

You should be adding nutrients to your plants when they've been vegetating for about 2 weeks. Oftentimes, you need to mix in the nutrients in a water solution before you put them into the reservoir, ensuring consistency. Follow the directions and schedule on your nutrient bottle.

The first thing I look for when my plants start yellowing is a pH problem. Make a good habit out of checking this regularly.

Banana is right, PH is probably the problem. I was running an AG and I started having the same problem with yelllowing leaves. My PH ended up being around 7.5+- and once that was fixed the leaves turned back to a healthy green

Dont use AG nutes. They will burn the shit out of your plants. I still have a few recovering from it and its week 6.
