Already soon as I transplanted into Pete promix HP

About to give up on soil less grow just unhealthy Already soon as I transplanted into Pete promix HP plants yellowing Only gave them one water just gave them their second watering were much healthier and green until I transplanted them

ph of peat is acidic, dolomite lime will raise or silica, easier. Promix hp m is all I use. Just a guess but id say need more nitro

Just gave silica today I just can’t believe how bad they look so fast and don’t know what I did wrong and how do I use dolomite lime

I’m feeding floranova nutrients RO water starting at 600 ppm with cal mag ph 6.3

Those plants need way more than 600 ppm. You should have put 800 plus during transplant because Promix has ZERO food in it.

I was going off the feed chart on the bottle 1table spoon per gallon and says 600 for younger plants

You think they would really get hungry that fast it’s only been 2 weeks since transplant

If I had the same sized plant I would have fed right at transplant with a full runoff. Then 5 days later once it was almost dried. 2 weeks since no food?!?!? No wonder. That is helpful info right there.

I gave them about a gallon each in 5 gallon fabric pots at 600 ppm at transplant And they never really soaked up a bunch of the water so I didn’t have to water again for about a week

They needed more food at transplant and more food a week later. They still have a shot. Lower watts for the time being to avoid stress.

They needed food when they were 8" tall and started to get light green. 1 tsp/gal of Floranova every other watering should be plenty for healthy plants.
