could be overspray of the nutrients, assuming you are using them. at 2.5 weeks if you are using soil that is premium/rich then it likely has enough nutrients in it for at least 4 weeks.
 
I currently have 3 autos and 3 photos going with living soil (6wks in now) and noticed yesterday my leaves are starting to show some deficiencies like yours. Since all the nutrients are already in the soil I'm going to ride it out and see how it goes since this was a trial run for me. We’ll see how it goes, may be my one and only living soil grow. I like the simplicity but I don’t generally get deficiencies using FF trio
 
bboyfromwayback I agree. Seems like a simple way to grow but I've been plagued with issues that I can't seem to diagnose.

CaptainWiese91 I've looked into but not 100% if it is or not phosphorus issues. I can try adding some in my next watering.
 
What type of pro-mix are you using ? My first time with organic with perlite in the bag. I have similar issues like yours put worst now. I'm wondering if it affect my ph even if it's around 6.5 before putting in the soil. You know like 6.5 in the container but no clue after it is in the soil. Also i made the mistake of adding 50% more perlite in the mix when it had already have 30%in the bag.

So I'm not sure if I should get another one of those probe meter.!
 
I just noticed the leaves last night so I haven’t had time to research how to correct deficiencies in living soil. I’ll read up on it later but I may ride it out just to see how it goes beginning to end for a true evaluation

I using Pro Mix HP. I also added around 30% perlite. I was looking at the bluelab soil ph probes the other day. I need to get to the bottom of this. Second grow in a row that's having these issues. Hate to say it but I didn't have these type of problems when I used FFOF and liquid nutes.
 
Me either before the PRO-MIX. Before it was a Fafard soil I was using, a Canadian brand I believe. Look the girls are in the 12/12 this week and they don't stretch and worse the brown spots are still showing on the new leaves. Maybe I should go back to my old soil and screw the PRO-MIX.
 
Man oh man i really hate hearing this. Any of you guys go to any review sites about this product are others experiencing the same thing? PLreef and Farmbuck. This is just a too frequent event i know others are out there and on this site.
 
SoOrbudgal I don't know if it's me and I screw up with the perlite and the PRO-MIX but it looks that the girls is not retaining their food when I feed them, it looks like my water is draining faster than usual. And yes I went on different sites and some are having the same problems and others not. So I wonder is it me .

SoOrbudgal I did a quick Google search. Farmbuck were not the only ones. Other growers are complaining about similar issues on the interweb. Not sure what the answer is though. I'm gonna try feeding regular liquid nutes (Technaflora) with this plant at a PH of 6.8 and see if it makes a difference. I know I'm using living soil and I'm not supposed use ( let the lashing begin) salt based nutrition but im going out on a limb here and trying it. Maybe they are not getting the proper food with Pro Mix and Natures Living Soil?? I don't know what else to try.
 
Ok sir !! I have nothing to loose so I'm thinking of feeding them this Friday some Nitro full strength I'm running out of options.
 
why not try changing at least one plant to coir and add some of the Nature's Living Soil concentrate? start adding nutrients to that one every other watering and see what happens. I have also read the Pro Mix isn't what you should be using cause it can contain shit that you are unaware of. Pro Mix mixed with Nature's living soil may be the problem. It could be that since both contain nutrients, the mix is too much for the plants.

Maybe give this a good read https://www.growweedeasy.com/review-of-natures-living-soil-for-growing-cannabis
 
@PLreef I hope this will help us.

Also I was thinking maybe the pro-mix bring down my PH so here goes, my tap is at 7.0 so i'll try with a PH of 7.0 and we will see non ?
