Encroaching yellowness

I'm so embarrassed I'm asking. Things were so much more simple with regular soil and bagseed and fish squeezin's. Nary a forum question about nutes or other 'newbies.'
Here I am. Different soil. pHing water. Autofem seeds. And I don't know what's going on with my leaves. I'm getting yellowing of the midrib and veins. I'm so confused and am only held in check by some THC-A crystalline and badder. Barely. Dabber is asleep after a buddy came and dabbed with me. She might be high because she sits between us for attention.
Oh, yeah. I was pHing with vinegar for a little while. pHing with vinegar is useless so now I'm using the orange Tang pH down to bring things to keel. Been Tanging for a week.
My light was at 22" and has been moved to 24", just in case.
Could this be a pH, light, or CalMg issue? Maybe I need to start with a few nutes? The soil is only as old as the plants. Maybe use filtered water in lieu of dechlorinated tap?
Quick... gotta dab...

Honestly Amigo that is the greenest yellow I've ever seen. But you n me both are in the same boat medium wise. I need something better. What was the soil you were using when you were happy? & are you going back to it?
 
"Maybe I need to start with a few nutes?" I don't know the age of the plants thus the soil use is unknown to me. However, wild ass guess, if they're about 4 weeks and in Ocean Forest I'd start about 1/3 nutes in the water ring and let them reach for it.
 
Sorry OlderNOTwiser I figured everyone knew everything about all my grows, ever. The soil is about 3-1/2 weeks old. Silly of me to have given my nutes to my neighbor because I thought I wasn't going to need them anymore. Might have to go begging my own stuff back.
 
There isn't a problem I can't dab myself through. Like, no more Tang. I decided to start giving half nutes with the GO Box. That stuff doesn't need to be pH'd. I'll give it a half nute or two to see what happens.
There is no continuity in my water supply. Tap or machine. Sometimes, a drop of Tang a gallon is too much. Sometimes, two cc's isn't enough. Sometimes 6.3. Sometimes 8.1.
My Solo cups are using regular soil with no nutes. They're way healthier than the FFOF. I am, thus far, unimpressed with super soil. Next grow might be regular soil with a nute upgrade.

It seems to me that your plants have a good look. Continue caring about them and your aim will be achieved, I'm sure. All the best to you :)
 
FFOF isn't a super soil. It has enough stuff for about a month or a little longer if you have a light feeder. But it isn't like Kind or others that are super soil.
 
Crap! Perhaps I haven't been happy with my past grows, because of the light, airy flowers, because my fish squeezin's are only supplements. I'm going to have to get back to the tang and better nutes. Real nutes.
Stupid fish.

First thing I do in this situation is check the ph of the run off. If you know the ph going in, and compare it to what is coming out... you should get a good idea about what the ph is like at the root zone.
Looks like she is being overwatered. Just a guess with the droopy leaves.
 
Thanks Toker1 I haven't watered to runoff only because the plants have been so young. When the bottom of the bag is dry and my moisture probe tells me it's at medium moisture, I give them some juice. My Solo cups dry out pretty quick. They have the same thing going with the drooping but dry out between watering. Perhaps a little over and under with the watering?
I'm going to rely on heavier doses of the supplements until I get some of the snake oil some of you folk use. I wanna grow me some snake oil weed.
 
Oh, we have all sorts of snakeoil salsesfolk around here. Y'all know who you is. Snakeoil salesfolk and green witchcraft. Stay frosty JDU.
