I appreciate everyone's input. What is OP? Other person? LOL I wasn't sure what you all meant. I have never had issues using molasses before... I have a journal here in the house I document everything in. For my references so I know exactly what I've done from day one... In my research in my own notes I realized I didn't have this problem with the Snow Ryder... I didn't have this issue when I was growing straight into OF... I figured I need to add more nutes. Now I'm thinking the mixture of HF & OF could bring me the best of both worlds. I haven't had a drainage issue and I know I'm not over watering... Matter of fact sometimes I think I wait too long to water...
I came to this conclusion because the AA4 I have now that just showed sex is showing the same symptoms and I haven't even fed her yet... So it's not my nutrient mixture affecting the current plants that I have been feeding... It's my soil mixture... What else could it be considering the AA4 is in HF and hasn't been given anything but water... My water is at the same constant pH so it can't be my water. It has to be the HF... So now I'm thinking it's great for starting but not so great for maturing plants... SO I deciding whether to tier -- start in HF and tier in OF... mix it up, OR put a layer of OF at the bottom of the bag and HF layer on the top -- so by the time they are maturing and need the food they will have found it at the bottom of bag...
It has been an experience doing this comparison grow... I am now realizing that maybe if I combine them I could have a "super soil". I know I'm not the first person to realize this or do this... It has worked great for some of my fellow growers. I thought maybe It was my nutrient mixture but like I said, seeing what my plants are telling me and revisiting my notes from day 1 & page 1 this is where I'm at now. So I'm going to do this with future crops. Combine the two and see if this fixes my problem.
**I do have one questioned answered that would confirm my beliefs... Does lack of N show JUST yellowing of the leaves OR is it yellowing and then go to brown, dry up and then die??? I need to know if it does because to me that would indicate whether it's lack of N or Nute Burn... Thanks again everyone. :smokebuds:
