top dress with EWC/vermicompost, water in, cover with mulch.

Good luck with this. The growth rate makes me think it'll be alright, but something is not balanced. I doubt it's a deficiency. Just me thinking out loud.

Yeah thats the plan. This grow is pretty fucked in my eyes. Its not a deficiency ive grown in straight soil with no nothing but filtered tap water and it did better then this. The soil is straight messed up.

Bmac. I dont use bottles so camag is out of the questionXD ill cut her down before going that route.

Maybe using the term calmag wasnt the best but calcium and magnesium is what I was getting at as previously posted. Some epsom salts or other mg source and a EWC tea with BSM would straighten them up in my opinion.
 
I know it looks bad, but at least you're on the right side of bad. It's easier to add vs deduct. There's options here one of which is to make a slurry of dolomitic lime and water.

If you can use RO water you'll be able to dissolve more of it.

There's your answer

thanks jay:) ill be amending the ewc i just got with alfalfa, kelp, neem, and crab meals, along with some oyster shell flour some gypsum and some rock dust. then instead i will topdress with that and water it in with a malted barley, coconut, agsil, and aloe tea:) i just spent an hr in the garden doing some much needed lst. this is the last lst before flower:) took a bunch of pics before and after along with some upskirt shots:) ill be uploading those very shortly:) stay tuned

funy how more people quote dude since he's left the mag....

molasses is good, but don't over do it, it's food for the microbes in the soil, same with kelp - a lil bit goes a long way. I've been using panella solid sugars instead of molasses, cheaper and just as effective.
i like to foliar feed with kelp.... plants love it.

have you fed with the epsom salts yet?

Dude...This is straight up domestic violence. What you're doing to these bitches. This is hard love. But I care enough to do it.

As this thread moves along, you're going to notice the "living soil" crew abandon you. They'll say "well you don't have access to my awesome amendments". You're failing hard. If you're seeing this in veg it's going to be 10 times worst at the flip.

Here's the sure way. Make up one of the mixes in the "organics for beginners thread". The very first post is all you need to read. Ignore the rest. This is what I do and I fucking kill it. Grow after grow, I absolutely destroy it in the yields. When I say kill it, I mean it. 1gpw would piss me off kill it. 1.5 and more is what I expect. You want that? Take a god damn spade and dig those plants out of that soil and replant into said mix. You'll be happy.

Do this. You WILL succeed. There is no failure with those mixes. THEN go into this no till...living whatever. But only do so in small quantities. I've yet to see one of those posted and failed...yet I see a shit load of these "living soil" hippy shit day in day out all fucked up.

Those mixes ARE living soil. They are proven, time tested, and they are fail proof. Don't buy into the hype, be careful of what you read. BMS is the shit.

yo i actually spent 600$ on everything bluejay and coot told me tooXD this soil is shit and is NOT my no till! this is my second organic run in the easy bake soil. i have everything from basalt rock dust to tmz7XD i read bluejays thread from start to finish twice while taking notesXD im also following growmau5 and green gene and im going to build my own led light. i just recieved my hlg240h driver this morning. this is my life. cannabis is my everything! that and of course some tryptamines and phenethylamines ;) this round is here because i had some of the easy bake left so i used that hoping it would be good.a my proper soil is not mixed up yet because my source for top ewc is screening material for me:) but im going to mix up a 65 gallon no till pot and the soil mix will be EXACTLY the same as bluejays thread on grasscity. well not exactly, a few changes that he recommendedXD i also have an amazing line up of varietys im going to throw down for you guys over the next few years! i have a few breeding plans i want to do once i get my no till skills down pat:) i cant wait to get it started:) youll see it in the next few months for sure!|

much love
Lotus
