I am in 5th week of flower. Over the course of the grow, i have used 1 drop per gallon of Dawn dishwashing soap as a wetting agent (what i now realize also has a bleach alternative and is antibacterial), added to my nute solution for soil.
Most of my fan leaves are now yellowing. I have heard it is normal to have some leaf yellowing during flower....but MOST of my fans are yellowing.
I have had my ups and downs of nute burn, but this is complete, even leaf yellowing.
So my question is, (of course i will never use Dawn again, I will use WetBetty or similar), even tho it is biodegradable, wouldn't an antibac kill beneficial organisms in the soil?
How worried should i be about the loss of good bacteria in the soil. Did i ruin my crop? Is the yellowing possibly related to the soap? I have plenty of other plants not in flower that do not show the yellowing. Most of my plants look very healthy except for all the yellow.
