Hi guys I'm having issues with my plants in a new medium call roots organics soil.

I've be using veg plus bloom and have been flushing for the past two days super low dose nutrients

I use cal mag, great white ph of water is always at 5.8 to 6.2 when watering. I had a nute lock out at the start of flower then bounced back now this
4 weeks 2 days in flower.

I run a sealed room mix my res with an airstone.
Carbon scrubber with true 400watt led lights with uv ect on light movers. Dehumidifier and mini split. Room is 76 degrees co2 at 1200ppm plenty of fans and I'm using cloth smart pots.

There is a little hydroton layer in the bottom of each 5 gal.

I just flushed again today with 80 ppm water ph adjusted to 6. Any ideas.
Not sure if it potassium or lock out if its lock out it should be good at next feeding.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes i have read through all the self help areas and own the growers bible newest version.

I'm normally a hydro guy just thought I'd try it out.

I run hydro not soil usually never ran it before and from what I read your supposed ph roots organic like hydro due to the soil not really being soil.

Why are you flushing them to death?Your ph is too low for soil,take it up to 6.4 or so.

I though roots organics is supposed to be ph at 5.6 to 6.5

I'm using liquid ferts that say the same ph value on the directions as roots soil is supposedly not really soil

The plant on the left has a little bit of a Ca deficiency. Stop starving your plants by 'flushing'. From the little bit I see of your main cola you look at least a couple weeks away from harvest. Otherwise your plant looks great.

It roots organis soil. Claims to be soil I'm using a different nutrient line not roots that says 5.8 to 6.5

Roots soil from what I understand is not really soil but pre charged coco perlite and peat

Perlite, Coco Fiber, Peat Moss, Composted Forest Material, Pumice, Worm Castings, Bat Guano, Soybean Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Fish Bone Meal, Kelp Meal, and Greensand. Also contains beneficial microbes: Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus intraradices, Septoglomus desertícola to enhance uptake of plant nutrients, increase roots biomass, and help container grown plants resist stress

Looks like you are in an amended mix. I'm pure hydro so I can't help you. But your plants look good so I would keep doing what you have been doing. You aren't showing nutrient burn like you should if you had overfed them. So ask over in the soil forum they can give you more information. But I wouldn't change a thing.
