i am currently growing some plants using the super soil recipe. i have one small shiva skunk that only vegged half the time of the others(1 month). she is half way through the flowering cycle and is still green, beautiful, and healthy. however the bigger plants that vegged for two months are showing yellowing. i was wondering if this soil is supposed to be good for their entire life cycle or if an extended veg would require adding more of the soil amendments. thanks so much. i've attached a few photos of my shiva skunk for your viewing enjoyment.

Subcool, the creator of the super soil, says that for large plants he recomends giving them one dose of mother earth tea bloom about halfway through flower to fix deficiencies. Its from advanced nutes

You should topdress at day 30 on the ones that are yellowing, I think that would take care of your issues for ya if you dont want to bother with the tea, otherwise the tea will work great too. And also, rather than adding more amendments, why not just use more supersoil in the pot? I kinda have to "guess" the right amont to predict fade depending on plant size, strain, location to light, etc.

one more question..if using sunleaves guano with a npk of 1-10-.2 how many pound would i use? i noticed that subcool used a bat guano that was 0-5-0 in his video. So would i use about half as much? or does it not work that way?
