Does anybody use recharge and tea when they water? One of my photos seems to be weak kind of spindly, and I'm getting solid yellow leaves randomly on the bottom. It is starting its fourth week into flower. I've been feeding her Botanicare Pro bloom, Cal Mag, liquid Karma, Botanicare pure blend tea, and recharge, at every watering. Oh also silica in there. Am I overdoing this? Do I need to soil flush her? The one beside her same age same progress in the flowering stage, has no yellowing and seems quite strong except for it looks like it needs water and I just watered them two days ago. This is upsetting. Any suggestions?
 
I need to add several things. They're in 5-gallon cloth pots, I keep the pH between 6.2 and 6.6 but only recently learned about that fluctuation. I was keeping it pretty much always around 6.4. They're in soil, Pro mix BX.
 
My frustration and anxiety here is because I thought I kind of had it down, the nutrients and caring for them excetera. They've been looking so beautiful, this newest grow with Botanicare nutrients, after the disaster of running out of nutrients trying to use kind soil with photos. After 6 months upgrowing, which I know is just a drop in the bucket for many many of you, I really need a break and now this. I'll send some pics but these plants are too heavy for me to lift so the lights going to be as it is in the 12 12 room. I hope somebody chimes in here to help.
 
I was adding recharge to every feeding, then backed off to 1x weekly. I have also added SLF-100 weekly to take care of any excess salts in the root zone.
 
Greenpassion, Basically its an enzyme for improvement of microbial activity in the root zone. Numerous links on the internet, it's a 100% organic and OMRI listed formula designed to break out salts and cleanse soil, coco, or soilless media.Check out this video on you tube at https://youtu.be/M7dQvd09b4c and this one at https://youtu.be/9iQI5T3ZdYc They claim its a great flush additive as well. I started using it about a month ago when I had a nute lock and couldn't figure it out. It cleaned everything out great and my girl recovered nicely. I will use it this week for on one of my girls thats getting ready to finish.
 
Yeah like you I use recharge at every watering which does turn out to be once a week. It's actually about every five days. I've been using a half of a tablespoon added to my Newt water after it's been pH.
 
I backed off on the recharge every feeding and only go 1x weekly based on the manufacturer "Real Growers" recommendation. (saves a couple of bucks and) I also have doctored my soil from time to time with worm castings (from VermisTerra) and Mykos pure Mycorrhizal Inoculant, (from Extreme Gardening), I now have a very healthy soil. I also give a couple teaspoons of Molasses every now and again to feed the microbes that are keeping the root zone healthy.
