Ugh...I knew it..after a couple weeks of adjusting the ph to 6 from 8± and adding silica medium strength in hopes to encourage better growth on this ficus it seems to have the opposite effect. It's under t5 lights 12 hrs/day.
Yes, ficus are notorious for doing this during winter unless the lightning is strong and they don't get anything below 60 degrees. With that said, my ficus are pushing new growth right now... no yellow leaves to report at this time other than one or two on a few branches.Before you get too alarmed, many of my ficus have been losing inner leaves that past few weeks. It is a rest time for them unless you want to crank up the heat and lighting.
Thanks for this suggestion. Do you have any brand recommendations? I see something called Liquid Seaweed with Humic/Fulvic added.Supplement with humic/fulvic : kelp at the 5:2 ratio and you will get the best growth out of it. I add it every time I fertilize (liquid with MiracleGrow). I will be starting a once a week foliar spray as soon as the trees go back outside.

@luvinthemountains If you guys follow @cmeg1 threads, he advocates towards RAW NPK supplements. That is what I use. The ratio is corelated to the dosing recommended as well. 1/8tsp kelp : 1/8tsp fulvic + 1/8tsp humic ( or 1/4tsp of either one) per gallon (or 1/2 that dose per gallon for a "weaker" dosage.Do you have any brand recommendations?

Dont forget the 5:2 ratio is touted to work 50%%%% BETTER!!!@luvinthemountains If you guys follow @cmeg1 threads, he advocates towards RAW NPK supplements. That is what I use.

Same same no? 1/8:1/16 equals 1/4:1/8 or does the ratio is against parts of water? From the reading I did I thought it was just the ratio of the acids to kelp.Dont forget the 5:2 ratio is touted to work 50%%%% BETTER!!!
1/8tsp fulvic or humic or both—- 1/16 tsp kelp
