PH problem and or yellowing leaves?

[gatsbyalighieri]

Hey all I’m in soil in fabric pots and I have a few questions. Why are my plant leaves getting light green, and how do you properly PH soil when it’s in a fabric pot

Improper watering cycles perhaps,maybe too weak nutrients,check ph of solution before watering,run straigh water every so often in case of nutrient build up which will change the ph

Plants look healthy overall, my guess is that they need a little bit more nutrients but checking the ph before watering is necessary (unless you have good tap water).
When do you fertilize? Every second watering?
When growing different strains together, it is important to keep in mind that some are more hungry for food than others.
Let us know how it goes.

Like said above,don't feed all plants with same nutrient solution. Some strains are more hungry as the others. Your plant look good. PH your water before watering and increase nutrient level.
Light green>low N.

Peace

If you're using a commercial bag soil, you shouldn't need to PH the soil, just PH the nute solution going in.

Thanks for the response and will do

I’m fertilizing and feeding maybe every third or fourth. Someone told me to do half of what people say for feeds?

If the plants look healthy it’s the genetics and local soil they’re in. Also gotta thank a local growmie for beneficial and manure

I’m feeding them all with a mix of different dry amendments but I’ll start to play around and see. Im confused but it does look like low n to me and I feel the pics don’t do my eyes justice. Or maybe I’m color blind . I inoculated my soil as well with bison poop so where would the light yellow really come from? Temperature issue?

It's good that you started with half strength. Now some plants need more food and show it by having the light green color. Plants look healthy for now but you need to counteract by giving higher nutrient strength.
You can slowly raise the nutrients in strength and you'll see a difference in a day or two.

Dry amendments need time to breakdown and become available. You could add microbes to help break it down faster but it still takes time. Top dressing EWC would help too.

One watering day after you water your plants well, let them set for an hour. Take only one plant add 500 ml of distilled water to the watered pot and catch a little of the discharge out the bottom in the drain tray. Test your discharge pH and EC so you will know what you have. There are a lot of possibilities that can cause plant problems. Knowing the EC and pH can help you find the answers you need.

Using organic amendments takes a very long time to break down because the microbes need to break it down before it is usable. If you are looking for fast results you may need to use a complete synthetic fertiliser.

Thank you!

a lot of good info here. Thank you boss!

Considering from the photos and the responses, it is likely overwatering and oversaturation of the medium, which means there isn't enough oxygen or gas exchange, and the leaves suddenly turn pale.

How often do you water?

I'd recommend watering slowly and thoroughly, and then not watering at all until the top of the medium is dry. Which could be as little as twice a week or once a week.

This takes out of the equation variability depending on the plant size, pot size, relative humidity, season, etc.

Thanks for the response boss. I water about every week? I honestly am just watering when the soil feels really dry.

Since you're doing organics you should try to keep the soil moist for the microbes. Mulch helps but you don't have to use it.

What is that layer on top of the medium? Vermiculite, perlite? Something seems to prevent gas exchange.
