First time organic grower yellowing leaves

Hey all first time grower. Using organic soil from coast of maine, their lobster shell additive, and Grease Bison Poop. Watering with un-PHed tap water from Maryland. Trying to figure out what exactly is going with the plants to make them yellow like this and what I can do to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes a plant can get tip burn from excess salts in the soil. In an organic mix, the water is what releases the nutrients. Heavy watering will make the mix hotter than wet-to-dry watering cycles. Holding the discharge will allow the nutrients to last longer. If you have a lot of discharge or runoff your nutrient content will decline quickly. I think your plants are ok for now friend. Keep us posted.

What exactly does making the mix hotter mean? I think I have been doing dry backs?
