what is your runoff ph, I think it may be a calcium problem, or burning problem...but the lime was a good idea if you haden't mixed it in with the soil already. were they old nutes?

yea check that runoff first thing, then you can go from there...you basically need to know whether to add something or flush something. PH will tell us...as far as the lime I have no freskin idea cause I have no used promix hp, I think your suppose to add a little less than soil though. I add 1 tablespoon powdered lime per gallon of soil, not to be confused with gallon of mixl, the recommended dose I read is 2 tablespoons per gallon of soil, remember you mix some perlite with the soiless (i assume) you should add your lime just to the soil ratio.

check the runoff of all the plants and see if there is a significant difference between them. again don't know too much about promix and ph but I would assume a soiless needs to bea tad lower than soil maybe in the 6-6.3 range. I would be careful with the lime as I think 7 would be too high for soiless as oppose to soil again though no experience here.

kelway says its 6.5 around but hwo knows how correct that is i can give a runnoff tomrow prolly

i looked closer it looks like it might be a cal mg def with the red spots (not the mites i know they were there i got rid of them) but the def spots also the leaves have a mild yellowing on the rim of the leaf

I would think 6.5 would be better, 6.0 seems pretty low for a soil.

what are your temps like?

81-82 with co2 at 1550

i always thought for soiless its 6.0 so i guess i should start feeding at 6.5?
maby 6.3-4

is promix soil? I can't keep up with all the grow mediums, I am old school and just make my own soils and it's always peat based. I Just throw some lime in the mix and don't think about ph.

the medium ph is 6.5 ive been feeding at 6

is soiless's ph the same as soil?

promix is considered soiless

Yes, soiless just means no nutes, its just texture for the roots

pH deals with how the nutes in ionic forms are available, its only different in hydro since the nutes are already disolved in water

ahhhhhhhhhhh
 
i know this is old but if you get this you were in the right area with your ph level... 6.0 is fine for soilless... soil and soilless are not the same
