Thanks for the reply I appreciate it, and nope in soil ffof , im using tap water but its very quality tap so I thought id make it without a cal supplement, but I was very wrong hopefully she will recover quickly. Its only on a few leaves, I was almost scared she was sick

Picture isn't the best, but FFOF is not only a "hot" soil, but lends itself to cal/mag def also over burn..... How old is your plant and how much of the plant has this issue?

She'll survive. My first grow I went through the whole grow with a un diagnosed cal mag problem. Nearly every leaf on most of the plants rusted and crispy, rusted and and fallin off lol. Still got a decent yield somehow.

they look 10 times better then my first run
Thanks man, you probably had to grow without the luxury of rollitup. It makes growing pretty easy as long as that person can read lol before I got on riu, I had no idea how complex it was. I would still be growing out clovers with an incandescent bulb lol thanks for the advice btw, I have a grow journal on it also if u want to see whats shes looking like down the road

I have the calmag supplement, it pisses me off beyond belief cause I cant pour it without it getting everywhere lol it just wants to go on the side of the bottle, I cant see much difference since applying it tblugh

be careful with calmag, if you only have a cal deficiency adding extra mag might make things work. If your not seeinging mag deficiencies I wouldn't supplement with cal mag, just cal.

Would epsom salt work cause I feel like your correct, Its getting worse. I need to post another pic but im getting a lot more red stems on her, is that due to the cal problem?

Im using around half a tbl spoon to 1 tablespoon, it could be that no new leaves are effected and that the fan leaves with problems are just getting worse, im just trying not to over correct and end up with lockouts, I never flushed between cycles neither and part of me thinks that was my downfall
