Day 48 first grow, 1st problem

Hi all. This is my 5 Ilgm blueberry autos. My first time growing. Running into my first problem. Growth seems to be doing pretty good and plenty of bud sites going nicely, They just don’t look as happy as they were. Discoloration in leaves, and generally just don’t look as lush. I looked with a jewelers loop, didn’t see any pests. I’m kinda color blind….so the discoloration kinda messes with me….to me they just don’t look the beautiful green they were and getting some yellowing.

They are growing in happy frog. Been giving them nutrients once a week for the past 2 weeks. Today will be their third feeding of nutrients.

Been doing 2.5 cal mag. Then the gh flora trio. 2 micro, 2 grow, 2 bloom. Just got terpinator in the mail. Was going to add that today.

Other than that, been giving about a gallon and a half of water ph to 6.5ish every 2 days between the 5 plants.

Anything obvious from the pics? Nute burn? Too much water? Underwatered?

The watering keeps me guessing. This happy frog in the fabric pots dries out FAST

Thanks all

Sounds/looks like a watering issue or possibly the beginnings of salt build up. The best watering method I have found is to slowly drench them until about 20% runs out the bottom. That gives you something to test for general health information and helps avoid salt build up. I use soil in 3 gal fabric planters and give a gallon each watering/feeding. A little under a quart runs out.

@Smashey805 I see your ph-ing your water, do you also use a ppm meter? You could put a saucer under your container and then tray the runoff to see what’s going on in the soil. In vs out could give you a clue.
