Hey and thanks in advance for any ideas.

I recently switch nutes from my normal fox farm to the completely organic nute line Vital Earth. I was having amazing results the first 2-3 weeks, but then i started to notice the plants werent growing nearly as quickly as they were before. I repotted to avoid root bind, and switched from straight ff soil to a perlite%50/ff%50 blend. This was two days ago and the plants have not cleared up.

My main concern is noticing some of the lower leaves turning a blotchy yellow, and most leaves on the plant look a bit droopy. It doesnt look great, but ive never had this issue before. Any ideas???

The first image shows the garden in full to picture the drooping leaves.

Thanks again.

I agree with Purp.

Could possibly be a little necrosis caused by over watering! Which is basically a lack of oxygen in the root zone from being too wet.

looks way too humid and wet. I would fix that first before worrying about any yellowing

thanks for the quick resposes, ill hold back on the watering a bit and see if i can get it to clear up
Could also be usefull to bubble an airstone in your feed before you water your plants.

I mix up my nutes in 18litre containers and this 18 litre container lasts 2 plants almost 1 week and i constantly have an air pump and airstone in the container.

Simple and easy way to dissolve oxygen into your nutes.

Or you could try some H2o2 liquid oxygen.

I have been watering almost daily, because that is what I was doing with the fox farm, nutes one day, water the next.

I have recently switched to an organic guano tea method. I also supplement with calmag, mineral matrix, hygrozyme and the their liquid nute(4-3-4).

It says to feed with the tea once a week after letting it sit 24 hrs with an airstone.
How should my feeding schedule look with all these?

Should I be mixing all my nutes into one res and feeding that all week whenever they get thisty?
Do I need to switch back and forth between nutes and pure h20 like with FF?
