All in? Can you be more specificFox farm liquid are just bottled salts. If you want to do true organic, successfully, then you need to go all in.

Dry amendment, ewc, compost, bokashi, red wigglers, mulch, all kinds of stuff for organic.All in? Can you be more specific
That looks like a chemical fertilizer.

I concur, do not add full strength liquid fish fert. I ran into problems. Always use half of what they suggest. It effects PH.Lol fish farts. I'm talking about simple fish fertilizer. Like Neptunes Harvest or similar. You can find it pretty much everywhere. I'm just saying if you find your "water only" soil to be lacking, you could add a little fish fertilizer, start with 1/2 strength every time you water. But I doubt the soil is spent at this point.
How much did you use? Must've been a shitload. It doesn't really have anything crazy in it. These are the ingredients.Recharge is garbage do NOT use. Almost killed all of my plants after one use. Throw it away.

Don't fill them right away, let them go a couple days..I wonder if i should not fill them right after therr empty, maybe wait a few days?
Epsom salts?Growing 100% organic makes things a little more difficult. Being that all the nutrients are front loaded for a just add water grow, it's difficult to direct the nutrient needs of the plant mid grow.
Over the years I have achieved best results using both living soil and salt fertilizers together. To be sucmix my living soil but at a much lower rate than most directions out there.
Through out the grow I supplement the soil biology with the Jacks's line of fertilizers at a rate of 50 - 75% of the manufacturers suggested use rate. I also brew and feed compost tea weekly. This hybrid method has allowed get higher yields then I could using either salts or organic fertilizers exclusively.
As others have mentioned, get rid of wick watering method. Then water to a good runoff using pH neutral with no nutrients in it. Collect the runoff as see what the pH is. I suspect you may have a pH problem.
Judging by the red stems and general appearance, there may be some magnesium deficiency. The simple fix is Magnesium Sulfate (epsom salt) I'm sure there are organic options out there.
Epsom salts = MgSO4 or magnesium sulfate. A good water soluble, plant available micro nutrient.Epsom salts?
Are you saying you added it yesterday and it looks the same today?So i added the recommended amount of gaia green all purpose 4-4-4/ power bloom 2-8-4. I top dressed the plants and it was Thursday, so i hit the plants with recharge also when i waterd after the gaia green amendments. The plants are still lime green, i really hope this problem is fixed soon it hasn't done anything so far
If they need Mg.Epsom salts = MgSO4 or magnesium sulfate. A good water soluble, plant available micro nutrient.
Epsom salts?
Correct. If they need it.If they need Mg.
