Hey people.
My plants are looking really shitty - First i will give you a little background about my soil so you may be able to figure it out.
The soil i'm growing in used to be a lawn. The soil was very poor (never fertilized)
So last year i put 2kg/m2 dolomite lime and 1 kg composted chicken manoure (3-1-2) into the ground and cultivated it. The plants the first year was huge, although showing some signs of deficit towards the late bloom. But not too bad.
About 6 months ago i used the same amount of composted chicken manoure but also added some kelp meal which i spread "lightly" Just throwing it around with my hand.
About a month ago i planted my cuttings (looking really good) which had been indoors for about a month under 600w HID's
Then disaster struck and the frost came. The week after it all looked like ****. Alot died and so on. Luckily i had extras. so i could replace some of them. But the ones that survived and even to new ones are looking like ****. The new shoots are extremely pale/yellowish. And i dont get it. The earth should have alot of nutrients. I am even using i "drip-system" to fertilize. I use a 4-1-6 + micro fertilizer.
One can clearly see on the pictures the new growth is super pale compared to the older leaves (from when they were inside) To me it looks like some sort of immobile deficit. But it doesnt make sense to me with all the nutrients in the ground... i Just don't get it.
Sorry for the long post. Here are some pictures. Help wil be MUCH appreciated. Have alot of plants and as of now 2/3 of it all is ****. All the unwanted plants (weeds etc) are growing all fine lol ... Sorry for the long post
EDIT: Forgot, also gave a small amount of bloodmeal. Just spread out by hand.
Some pics.
