So I’m not sure what this is but it’s all lower foliage, even the nee growth at the bottom are coming in yellow.
Can anyone help pls!
I had issues with some bugs nibbling which I’ve been using pesticide for.
But I’m stumped and worried now.

outdoor grow
Promix BX w/ perlite
1000ppm feeding till runoff
6.1PH
75-82°F
60% RH

Try these, my guess is too wet, but your feeding a lot of ppm, especially for soil imo, so idk. Maybe locked out nutes?


Maybe just feed less ppm, idk about the wet part after looking again.

Looks like you had some thrips there.. Neem is a good option before you see any flowers. But not a lot.
Not sure what the issue is really from the pics but I can shoot off some stone points.

It could be the combination of things..
What's the pesticide? Could be a bit of burn but maybe not. The PH could be low causing a bit of lockout on you.
In promix I would always be feeding 6.2-6.5 considering it is peat.

1000PPM is a bit high but could be OK I can't really see the size of the plant.

I generally don't go over 850PPMs (500 scale) when in coco or promix but that's just me.
Sometimes in peak bloom I will spike the PPM but not often.

In a fabric pot outside I would doubt it's the overwatering. Also looking at the top soil seems to be OK. But maybe it dried out on him and he had to soak it again. So it isn't fully able to absorb all the water now.

SS#4 comes with a re-wetting agent. Because when peat gets dry it's like a hard sponge. Pretty hard to re-wet without deficiencies.

More pics could help

Post a picture of the entire plant. A few random shots don't really give us a 'picture'.
Thanks

Yeah I had some issues with bugs, unfortunately it’s my first grow and it’s outdoors.
I’m currently using safers 3-1
My watering has been good, honestly for the most part I feed on the day I notice leaf drooping from being thirsty.

my soil ph is at 7.0 which means it’s buffering back up which promix is known for from my understanding. Which is why I ph to 6-6.1
Is that not typical?

here’s a couple pics for size, using the BlueLab truncheon for ppm reading

Safers is OK. I would dilute it in another bottle and PH the water you dilute it with to prevent any burn.
Wouldn't spray it too much.

If you say your PH is OK then should be good to go. If you're treating it like a soil then I would raise your PH though

Your plants look good. It's common to lose the bottom leaves for a couple reasons. Keep up the good work.

Ok I’ll do that!
I also used optic foliar overgrow a couple times as I thought this was deficiency

I ph at 6.1
I treat promix as a hydro/soulless media, hopefully that’s right. As I mentioned above it buffers back up to 7ph after a few days
