I'm using mexican bat guano, insect frass, jamaica bat guano, 4 p soluble kelp, for k..compost tea. cal-mag at 5ml per gallon and tried bumping it up the cal mag to 7 ml per gallon and the soluble kelp to about 6 on the npk. Seem to help a little leafs seemed to green up a little and some side branches growth but it was short lived . Now there continually showing signs of nutrition deficiency.
I also tried flushing the growing medium. Before bumping up the P and K. I went back to bottled cal mag because I couldn't dial in the down to earth azomite . So I have had good results with botanicare calmag so that when I add the into my feedings.

I realized that I was only giving them about 8-3-3 npk. And once the girls started getting bigger the nutrient deficiency started showing .
I bumping it up to 8-5-6 with the cal mag . Witch was the last feeding witch only started to green up a little.
My soil is pro mix hp with kelp meal 2tbsp per gallon with humic acid thats all.
I'm wondering if there a sulfur cupped magnesium deficiency and possibly Calcium . I didn't give anything cal or mag for the fist 3 weeks since the soil has some in it.

What is a "sulfur cupped magnesium deficiency"?

You'd be better off just getting a one or 2 part water soluble nutrient and feeding that instead of amending the way you did. That's what most people using a soilless peat/perlite blend do. They're lacking something. Azomite is just trace minerals and is better added to a soil that you allow to "cook" because it takes time to be broken down and available to the plants.

I would stop flushing and start feeding a balanced feed.
