Fed her salts now what?

I had to feed her salts because that was the only thing I had on hand the organics alone was not cutting it anymore She’s @ day 51 of life. I plan on top dressing with worm castings, Gro-Kashi, and Mammoth P to reincorporate the bennies @ next watering to hopefully counteract the salts (at least that is my thinking) does anyone know if this will work or should I just continue with salts and ditch organic for this grow?

It's up to you, a single application of fertilizer salts won't sterilize your soil or anything. If you want to continue with organics you can. What are you usually feeding it with, and why did you add the salts? Also, what brand of salts did you feed it? Just curious.

Fox Farm Salts @ .25 dose

I'd see how she reacts to the salts and continue with those if it goes well. A low dose of salts won't hurt the microbiome all that much, and the biome will still work to help absorb those nutrients.

It’s really hard to catch up with organics. Maybe just finish this one with salts and make adjustments on your next.

Once they go so far south it’s really hard to pull them back without something soluble to deliver fast N. I have finished plants fading like this with a Neptune’s harvest w/seaweed weekly regimen but they never seem to turn back to that lush deep green. Also it seems like some plants/phenos that are feeding naturally just stop pulling down nutrients from the soil once they reach full maturity. These are a bit too early; a larger container may have sustained them longer.

Just an observation ,your bottom leaves look greener then the top ones.Perhaps too much light?

That might have more to do with mobile/immobile nutrients. You can always tell if it's immobile because it will affect the new growth too, like iron.

Crazy how fast Salts work! look at her today she looks way greener. My plan is to feed her one more time add a quarter dose To hopefully let the top dressings from earlier catch up & then reinoculate and continue with plain water and top dressings. I’m hoping I don’t have to finish the run with salts

Nice observation, the issue is likely to much bloom food causing the yellowing.

Thank you for deleting bad information as not to confuse ppl

Even organics need to ph don't they? My water from tap is 8.5 to 10, might just be lockout from high ph. Just a guess, hope it works out well for you.

vinegar is ph down or citric acid from bulk store and both are organic.

No you do not need to pH in organics unless your water is over an eight. even then some people do not PH

How was it bad info?
What caused the yellowing?
Not sure what I missed, I didn't miss your sarcasm in either post.

Thanks for the hug and applause!

Stop quoting me and stop using 5 different bloom foods.

I’m not being sarcastic, I’m just here to learn not to belittle anyone.
The yellowing was caused by top dressing to little to late. I’m hoping with the salts I can catch the organic nutes back up. Also I am only using one bloom booster besides top dressing

"need" is a tricky word. True you don't "need" to, but ph down in 8 water in soil is not a bad idea either. 10 for sure you need to ph down, but really 10?? What's in there making it ph10??
