Need help with yellowing issue

I am wondering how bad my water is. If anyone can help me read this chart it would be much appreciated.

I have plants yellowing from the bottom up. I was thinking it was due to high calcium in my tapwater locking out magnesium. But I'm wayyy to high to read this shit lol. I am feeding half strength with Alaska Fish Fertilizer. Idk if I need to up the nutes or just supplement with extra magnesium. I will post pictures of the yellowing soon.

"Idk if I need to up the nutes or just supplement with extra magnesium."....I say yes to both.....get some Maxsea if you can

I always start out too slow, because Im so scared of burning my seedlings. Thanks for the response. I'll run out and get some epsom salt to add to my foliar feed until I can give them their next root drench. I'm gonna see if they can take a 3/4 strength fish fert foliar feed tomorrow.

I just took these pics. It's not TOO bad. But I wanna nip it in the bud before it eats up the few fan leaves they have.

I sometimes get the same. Sometimes not. I'm also baffled by this.

I need to get a ph pen. As this may be the problem. I never worried about ph before this grow but this is making me second guess not checking my ph.

i maybe wrong, but a little cal-mag + always helps when i run into problems like that

I fed them a higher dose of Alaska Fish Fert(1 tbsp per gallon) and some epsom salt this morning. Also foliar fed them with this mix before the sun hit this morning. Hopefully this stops the yellowing. If this doesn't work Imma have to go pick up some calmag and a new ph pen. The ph seems fine tho. my water ph is 8.7 on average and my nutes ph is 4.5 or lower which would balance out to 6.6 or some thing like that. Tbh I think they just needed a higher dose of N. I have had this same problem before. It just took a minute to recognize it. Thanks guys.

you using treated city water? (smells like bleach/chlorine?)

No. It smells like eggs lol. Our water has hydrogen sulfide, which is harmless. They specifically state that they do not use chlorine in our water.

Fish ,organics and other shit throw the ph out. You soil is also no good for dope growing.
Try a good coco/perlite mix and use hydro nutes every watering and you will say goodbye to yellowing . Also the way they grow with the new coco and nutes ,you will be amazed. I use canna terra pro coco and terra flores/vega.

My soil works just fine for growing dope in my past experience. I am planning on trying out some clones in coco later in the year.

A : possible slight over watering. B hungry . Ph,ing Organics is not good because the PH will always be low and adding acid goes against the grain. Add more fish goo and don't over water.

@TWS You hit the nail right on the head. I did have a problem with overwatering when it rained a couple weeks ago. I also realize they wanted more food so I hit them with a heavier dose of the fish gunk. They seem to be doing much better today. They started back reaching for the sun again. Thank you.

Adding more fish food will continue to lower your ph. You may want to look into dolomite lime to buffer your ph zone, bringing it back into ideal levels.

I've never used dolomite, I'm not sure about what it does
