Was just about to say that soil is junk for an indoor grow unless you cut it heavily.

I mean really dude you’re buying B&Q soil for your Mplants.

at least get something that’s sterile and isn’t stored outside uncovered on pallets.

Really? That’s pretty high ph right there. I use promos as well. And I always put my ph at 6. I know… people say soil doesn’t need the ph adjusted. But I prefer to know my girls are getting exactly what I know works.

Promix isn't soil

Yea well when you have a shit load of plants It saves me a lot of money ! And honestly I used this compost on my first run and it went perfectly. Unless they’ve changed it I dunno why I’m now having issues

Going hydro and using just water would save you even more lol.

The problem with B&Q is like I said it’s just kept in a pallet outside.

which means you can contract fungus gnats, thrips, pathogens etc and just keep spreading it around from plant to plant.

If B&Q kept ALL their compost inside it would be better.

Need some advice !
I use this soil https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiHzpvl4_3wAhWT-VEKHS5AB-QYABAGGgJ3cw&ohost=www.google.co.uk&cid=CAASEuRoPvv56dcNmA2BvzJzwHoeFQ&sig=AOD64_0ts4Dt_1Vnj7285JuWYmLzNKYU_w&ctype=46&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiYv5Ll4_3wAhUInxQKHfaQBrcQzzl6BAgBEB8&adurl=

At the start when the plants were smaller grew great.This is my third run. The first one everything went great with this soil. I haven’t changed anything, I use plant magic nutes, mars hydro and HLG lights, fabric pots, the soil which I already put on this post. Temps and humidity are fine and is use a light reader so that is fine. I can’t seem to know why my girls look so horrible and unhappy? They aren’t growing a lot at all. I usually do 6.5 PH but have been fluctuating it between 6-7 to see if I can get a sweet spot but no luck. Anyone got any ideas? Also I mix the soil with 30% perlite. Even bought a new PH pen. I didn’t clean the fabric pots after the last runs. could this be a reason ? Indont see how it could be but I’m nearly out of ideas!

Looks like they are vigorous plants without enough root space. They may be rootbound and struggling to grow because they need more room. I have had plants act similarly to that and completely change when they were potted up.
The yellow lower leaves are usually a sign that youre plants cant absorb a key macronutrient.
Of course all of this is just IMO.

They are in 50 litre fabric pots so it can’t be that
