My Plants ( 2 HSO chemdog + 1 barneys blue shark) are 4 weeks old and it has been 3 weeks since I transplanted em into 3 gallon smart pots filled with Roots Organics Original soil + applied myco to their roots upon transplant. I've been watering only w/ distilled water except for two occasions where I watered with BAS 200x aloe vera powder. Average Temps have been 77-80 with RH 35-45. Under an HLG260 + hlg65 quantum boards @ 22-26" away. Liberal amount of venting/circulation. I also topped em last week and ever since they have grown very bushy. Anyway, new growth is showing yellowing at the tips and starting to yellow at the serrated edges. it also looks like some new leaves are going paler green in places + some look more green towards the tips/fingers. One of the plants also has white/pale leaf veins ..i've been also seeing purple petioles/purple stripes on some new stems..don't know if I should feed yet as I heard roots runs 'hot' .i have also noticed some 'clawing downwards at the tips' and darker green foliage on the blue shark/chemdog

My experience with Roots is you get a 3 week charge max. It's not hot.
At 4 weeks you should be on a feed schedule already. Half strength.
Check to see if your nutes have sufficient cal/mag. Especially with distilled water.
Plants were topped so they slow down for a minute before they take off again.
PH your water.

yeah, I started feeding at the 3 week mark from transplant (they were 4 weeks old) ...I started feeding them roots' Uprising Foundation 2-1-1 and Uprising Grow 6-1-2 dry amendements as a topdress a week ago . Fed them twice so far, 1/2 tsp of grow and 1/2tsp of foundation each feed as recommended as well as some EWC + myco....IMG_0165.JPGIMG_0161.JPG
my original concern seems to be fixed but now they just seem lifeless and limp/droopy. they perk up upon watering but only stay perked for a day. I give them 1.5l about every three days. I can't see how this is a rootbound problem as i'm using smartpots.

that looks to be the same problem I'm having! I'm also organic living soil, I gave mine a Lil dolomite lime, I'm hoping it does the trick!CM181119-190943001.jpg CM181119-190957002.jpg
