Noticing weirdness in leaves, any tips/pointers appreciated. Is it phosphorous deficiency?
My water pH tests at 8 and when I add nutes it's around 6.5, soil pH is 7.
I only did Nute pack (beneficial inoculant) yesterday and today.

actually you have a few deff . Get a well rounded nute and some epsom salt or they are going to die. you should probably read up on how to grow a plant. LOL

I just used Nute Pack. seems pretty well rounded. and my nutes are NFTG.
I know my water ph is high, but it evens out to 6.5 when I add nutes.. wth.

you shouldn't be worried about PH outdoors. I don't know what the nute pack is but get you something like jacks, Maxsea, or even Miracle grow if you need to. I don't know what is available where you are but get something well rounded.

you should be feeding them at least once a week too.

yeah I was 4-5x a week but slowed down when I started seeing these pH issues. Thanks. hey is it ok, or even beneficial, to mix and aerate the nutes over night?

not organic. If I feed organically I use guanos and teas.

When ever I grow in small pots, Ive seen that yellowing. Could be the root zone is getting to hot with all this heat. If thats the case youll have many deficiencies from a root zone that cant uptake fast enough. GL also had mites turn a plant yellow.

Just an update- things are looking better. I increased the amount of feeding, but instead of flushing one or two days I used beneficial teas. I have just done another feeding today, slightly more than the package says because it's been a couple of days since last feed and frankly, the nutes I think are a little weak. I also used epsom salt. I re-potted the smaller ones, and the larger ones put in a basic soil (might save these or just clone from them). No more freaky yellowing etc. Another thing was I started pH testing every time I fed and making sure it was within good range (6.5-7). This week, my water out of the tap is at 8.9, I don't think I'm going to drink it anymore until it can be determined why these fluctuations are happening- maybe my well is going out?
