Thanks guys. I added a supersoil top dressing and gave them 1.5l of 24h fermented worm casting and molasses tea each. They're all looking kinda droopy and nitrogen deprived since that initial water so hoping this sorts them out...

And they will look even worse after this shit you have poured inside.

What do you mean? Worm castings tea is what most people recommend to give a boost to organic grows and they're already perking up. The molasses i added was about 2 tablespoons in 19 gallons of water.

Molasses tea will drop pH huge,stick with just ewc.
Thanks Myke, I only added 2 tablespoons to 18 gallons of water to help with fermenting the ewc. I had read your message too late but I also checked the ph and as my water started a bit higher about 7, the runoff and water going in is about 6.7 so pretty decent i think?

Okay than please come back after 10 days and refer how it goes then. Also you may not mind to share your supersoil receipt? I can only guess from those pictures this is just classic peat perlite lime ewc, which has almost nothing to do with organic grow. And most likely underwatered by the look. You are talking about calcium and posting fan leaves. There is much more behind when it comes to deficiency symptoms and 9 out of 10 cases is not because of the absence of the particular element but something else is off. Forget please about vinegar and other pH droppers when growing in peat from now and on forever. No offense of my side dude just my spliff. Have fun thats the most important thing.

The contents of my "super soil", it was almost perfect until literally 4-5 days ago when I tried adjusting the PH. Up until then it was just a couple of the plants had slight yellowing so I thought i'd experiment with lowering the ph, live and learn.
