ok so i have a question! the 3 bigger plants are the blue cheese and for some reason they are a light green with purple stems? i have flushed them last week because i thought maybe the nutes were building up but still didnt change them at all? they are growing good but why the leaves r so light is unknown. any suggestions. thanks and i will be updating every other day!

can anyone answer? why my leaves r so light?

what is your pH? are you using R/O water? what fertilizers are you using? what kind of soil?

 

[Sturman8r]

PH is right around 6.5, i have the organic miracle grow soil and i use floranova 1 part grow and tap water.

 

[SCCA]

how strong are you using the flora nova? how often do you water? have you checked the pH of your runoff? my blue cheese loved the cal mag, but they were in different soil.

run off was low 5.5. i havent been using the nutes very hard at all but i was just told that the soil i was using doesnt have any nutes in it and that its probably lack of nutrients. so i flushed with 2 gal of water each ph'd to 6.5 then transplanted them into 5gal pots with fox farms original with perlite. i will nute on my next watering in a few days.
