Watch me kill plants in Organic Soil ‍

My latest handiwork. This was a healthy, vigorous, booming plant that seems to be dead or dying

It's not rootbound at all, I've looked.. I thought overwatered in the beginning so I let it bone dry and light as a feather.

Still f00ked

RIP

Noticed ingredient list and is no real difference in other mixes BUT is there any or did you add any perlite to mix for drainage and aeration. Plant looks suffocated at root level , which happens with compacted soil. Also the “ so called Dark Matter “ soil “ states planting “ well rooted plants “ meaning pregrown plants ready for transplant . Ph water going in at 6.5 to range it close to where cannabis needs . This soil can be easily a water only mix with occasional top dress.

Run seedlings in a solo with milder mix to grow a plug already to be transplant to ease acclimation and loaded your host soil with perlite to reduce compaction.

Also dont fall for that LAUNCH top dress mix ... its technically the same shit in your base mix.

When you start reading we are the leaders in this and that ... your spidey sense should be tingling. Look at super soil recipes on line and see very similar home brewed versions ... subcool , moonshine and others.

This my 2¢ ..... I would keep that mix for bottom of container ( 1/3 ) and top fill with a good regular potting mix. Top feed with your base soil occasionally and magic happens. This way plants are not overwhelmed from the start.

To me looks like undersized pot. For me I’ve found you need 7 gallons at minimum for good water only results. I’d up pot them again

Budzbuddha got it true
soils too sharp, feed only rainwater/RO until new growth brightens up but watch out for the typical Ca-def-associated brown necrotic spots, crispy leaves or Mg-def-associated interveinal chlorosis, then return to normal water. Usually soil should have enough Ca for quite some time, but who knows...

Roots have an internal electrolyte charge inside them which has the power to draw water/nute solution in by its osmotic potential. But only if its a higher internal EC than ambient.
A too hot soil will torpedo this process, the plant then has trouble drinking, reducing the internal pressure which makes the leaves hang down in this case.

Leaves are too dark due too much but the tips are reminiscient of some defs so maybe its a lockout by overabundancy...

have a nice weekend

Thanks so much for getting back to me.

I fixed the link in the original post to the soil, not sure why that wasn’t working. The system calls for just kelp foliars and a slight bit of fish hydrosylate during veg, but honestly, those seem to have nothing to do with the problem as it was well underway before either of those were ever applied

This problem affects all my plants in all stages eventually. It always turns pale and yellow

If you continuously have the same problem, maybe you should try a different type of soil? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

You can also take your own urin and dilute with water 1:10

I did it 1:20 it worked well too. So about 6fluid onces per gallon. But as soon as you tell people how you did it you almost insure that you will be the only person that smokes it. And edibles? Not a chance. LOL
