Soil newbie light green leaves w/ PICS

[Enlightenedx]

Hey guys! My plant seems to be a very light shade of green. I think I have narrowed it down to maybe a N or Mg deficiency. I am using Miracle grow Organic choice, which i know is not recommended, but I think that may be all I have access to. Would pro mix be better?

soil: Miracle grow organic choice (i know)
temps: 68 - 80 degrees
Nutrients: Feeding Dyna gro and protekt at about 300ppms every other watering
Lights: Right now under a DIY six CFL powerstrip ( 23 W each)
I have a 400W lumetek and both MH and HPS bulbs for it.

Looks pretty fine to me & keep up the good work


The compost you are using should have plenty of fertilizer in it for a good few weeks so i would be very careful by applying any other forms of liquid feed or you may suspect problems.


At best a plant that size requires feeding once a week.

Thanks very much Fuzzy Duck.

I use fertilized soil (Fox Farm), and learned the hard way. I fed my girls nutrients, and they all were very sad. I then waited until they were 8 weeks old before I added nutes again.

Thanks Pinkie. I agree. I figured that since I was using the MG, it couldn't be a N deficiency so I did a light flush and went on a short vacation. I came back a few days later and it appears that even though I have been ding the same regimen for both of my plants, one of them is continuing to yellow from the bottom and have purple leaf tips. Last night, I added a little more than a teaspoon on epsom salts to a gallon and watered them. Ill add a new pic soon.

Bump. If the Epsom salts works, it would show in new growth, not by correcting the older leaves, right?
