Right now my plants are severely deficient on the lower leaves, but I didn't add any fertilizer until just two days ago, and it got chilly (65) in the room a couple of days, which can lock up K.

If you check my thread you will see that Miracle Gro soil gives me lots of mushrooms. Yesterday there was yet another flush of mushrooms in one of my pots. They don't sterilize their soil evidently. Also the fertilizer won't last 3 months in my experience, but I like to wait until I see a deficiency before I add nutrients. I don't know why, but I feel like it's good for them to give them some stress, and I don't like using chemicals. Unfortunately I don't have that many local shopping options so I end up going for chem ferts at the nursery.

I hope I'm not threadjacking, I'm just trying to share some of my experiences. And I'm not any kind of l33t grower, so anything I say deserves a pinch of salt. Maybe even a teaspoon.
Thanks for the response. Definitely not threadjackin. I have been feeding my plants with 3/4 teaspoon to gallon water. And a couple of them got nute burn and Ive had to prun the leaves back a little. Its possible that I didnt feed this one as much. Im using Dyna gro liquid fert. I also have calmag but havent used it because Im not sure if its necessary during veg. As for the miracle grow. I am having green algae form. When I transplant the plants from the 2 liters to the 3 gallon grow bags, I will be sure to just use vermiculite and perlite similar to hempy bucket.

Anyone know if I will have to change nute schedule, water amount, and things like that? I also have some peat moss left.
