SOil issue.Looking for thoughts

Ok as those who are familiar with the site and myself we all know Im an aero hydro guy who decided to do some soil side grows to go old scholl. I personally been a big soil fan but it has its place. So heres what we got .I took some clones of BluebErry and some sweet purple. Ended up the BB was hermie/ male and some of the purps from 1 mom ended up male so we went from 16 plants to 4 sweet purple females.Now heres what we have going on. These 4 are in 3 gallon pots with my usually miracle grow moisture control soil. I vegged for about 2-3 weeks under 400 watt mh light using only ph balanced water as the soil has time release ferts high in nitrogen. When it was time to go 12/12 flower I switched up to a 1000 watt hps hortilux enhnaced spectrum bulb and began a new flower feed which is using high phosphorus 0-13-0 indonesian bat guano mixed into my water. I also added sugar daddy, 1 table sppon per gallon of molasses and Humboldt countys gravity was just introduced this week.The plants are basically 4 weeks into flower now and in last 3 days have gone almost completely yellow.The buds are purple as they should be but I know the veg and fan leaves are not showing right.I have picture which are hard to see under the hps light but I yanked a leaf thats showing the issues.Its not a light kind of yellowing but a complete plant yellowing. I only ph the water going in and check the run off.I ph about 6 going in and it runs off at about 6.3.The rooms temps are at 71 F cold and about 75 lights on. Fans blowing air and exhuast exchanges hourly.Im thinking maybe the dosage of high phos might have been too high even though I used a light mix from what sunleaves reccomends for soil watering and only fed twice.Im guess I might have to hit them with a little Fox Farm nitrogen for a water or 2 and see if that works. I just watered last night and decided to do a good clear flush of the soil with straight ph water and get a good run off to see what we might unlock.I think in 2 days I will give another hardcore clean flush and then add the nitrogen boost and see.Any ideas from the pics what I might be lacking or needing for these dirt babies

the time release might have been used up?
i'd try them with the FF... see if that doesn't green them up.... though i wouldn't do it full strength... cuz if there are still time release in there and they're just lagging on their release... you could be up against major burn...

maybe half strength... that's what i'd try...


and of course as i'm sure you know... don't expect immediate results... it may take a few days to really green back up

looks also like a magnesium deficiency. you may try a tbls per gallon of epsom salt in the water feed.

I don't really know that much. For what it is worth your setups, and your greens always look great. Maybe it could be a fungus. From looking around on the net that would be guess. I also read you can spread the fungicide on a cotton ball so you don't have to spray your buds.

I dont think any fungus as I would see that but I am thinking gonna add some nitrogen and maybe grab a soil test kit and see what levels I have going on. Inever had this happen using miracle grow before but this is the first plants I have tried to use an organic only feed for flower meaning this bat guano.Maybe I over did it some how.Think Ill add the nitrogen at lower levels so I dont cause a new issue and ina week or 2 we will know. A mag deficiency might be a player too maybe I will address that too. Im telling you me and soil grows seems to not gel so well. Put me in aero hydro and its good to go though as I get to be the nute god lol
