To much or Deficency?

High Guys
I am trying myself on a 1m2 organic soil grow for the first time with 2 Green Crack Punch lady's which usually finish in around 67 days.
Today is day 34 and they start to look a bit yellow.
Room temp 27°C
RH 58%
315w CMH Lamp
39l Softpots with Biobizz light mix+ 4 Biotabs and a few Guano Tabs
And watered with 0.3 EC when the pots became light.
I was away for a few days and a friend took care of them and might watered a bit to often...

My big question is what do you think is going on. Are they craving more fertilizer or is it more likely to be a bit to much for them with the Biotabs?
I have some liquid organic and the General Hydroponics Trio here and would love if you could help me out before it's to late...

Best wishes
N

Judging solely from the leaf symptoms, it looks like deficiency, underfertilization. Not familiar with your nutes, I presume those tabs only last so long. You might want to tell us when you placed the tabs. Good luck.

I placed them like 45 days ago and they were advertised to last for a whole grow but well could be marketing...
I'll post a picture in a few minutes.
What kind of fertilization would you recommend?organic or mineral fertiliser?
Mineral would solve the problem a bit quicker I guess?
Which EC? 1.4? Starting from 0.3 so 1.1 fertilizer?
Thank you guys

0.3 EC is pretty low for flowering. I would go for 1.5-2 EC :)

Here is little information i am following. If you see any excess feeding you can cut or if you see def you can give more.

  • Growth: during the first weeks it should be between 0.800 – 0.900 mS, and you’ll have to increase it to 1.100 – 1.200 mS as the growth period goes on.
  • Bloom: start off with 1.200 – 1.300 mS, increasing it weekly until 1.900 – 2.000 mS. During the last coupe of weeks or 10 days you’ll need to use just water with a 0.000 – 0.400 mS EC to flush the plant.

Do you fertilize with every watering?
Sorry i am from Germany and not used to calculate with gallon
I actually wanted to stick to an organic fertilizer but mineral seem to to a better job because the yellowing stopped now.

With 6/9 you are talking about micro and bloom and you do not use any grow?

I was told to use the organic fertilizer only every second watering but with mineral everytime.
I don't want to slide into an overferlisation.
I am planing to reuse the soil after the grow. Is this possible with mineral fertiliser?

I do not use the grow. I fertilize every time, but I grow in coco.
If you’re growing in soil, do not feed every time.
