Anybody got any idea what it could be? I started feeding calmag on Monday. It's on a 18/6 light cycle under a 600w led about 20" away. Temps range from 75-85 and humidy from 40-60. Water in the morning and before bed.

Considering you just started feeding cal mag watch the new growth. That’s old growth.

New growth's coming in good so far, and the one leaf w/ the most yellow is one of her first real leaves lol is it normal for old growth to do that? Thought about just clipping it off

Are you in soil or a peat/coir mix?
I reckon it was the calmag and your ph is high.
But do all the checks first.

The first set of leaves often come into contact with the medium damaging the tips. I wouldnt worry much. And i am also curious as to why you started feeding calmag? The plant looks pretty healthy overall.
And it looks like you are just watering directly around the plant. You need to water the entire pot.

Even though there might need to be a small adjustment, leaves get yellow spots now and then, during it's life. Just like people get a random bump or scratch. Keep an eye on it to make sure it isn't anything that needs attention, but don't worry if you see a lone yellow spot here and there. Might just be nothing.

Is that coco your growing in? If so, then you need to use CalMag. If it's soil, I wouldn't add any unless there's a specific problem where it's needed.

Id have to disagree.
I run straight coco. No lime, no calmag. Just a+b nutrients.
Maybe once or twice i give it some if the ph is in range.
Coco is a great buffer on its own.
Its just gotta be flushed every feed / watering.
Coco can barely hold on to calmag you give. Because coco is naturally high in calcium and mag..
Give it calmag and it locks out.

I have done coco but all instructions always say to dose with CalMag for first 2 weeks to charge.

I still dont need it.
The a+b is fairly high in cal and mag. As high as the bottle of 2 .0. 0. Calmag.
Id check it yourself.
When youre feeding often, the coco catches the excess and buffers anyway.

I had to use it when I did coco, which was only once. Plants were showing deficiency until I added it. GH instructions say to give it at each feeding.

Exactly right. You should know when its def. or toxicity.
If you dont correctly check, your symptoms wii look a lot worse either way.
But its always better to just ad a little, or take away a little, than waaaaaay too much.
Peace dude

You dont need to if you know whats going on.
Coco is almost completely inert.
Buffering with lime and all that crap, is asking for trouble further down the line.
I fucking love straight coir.

I know exactly what's going on.
You buffer with magnesium for CEC...

Not lime to adjust pH or gypsum as a conditioner

Coco has excessive K, and sodium right off the top, it binds magnesium to its fibers and doesn't release it..

Thanks for coming out, God bless and good night.

You need to flush. Calcium and mag are SALTS aswell.
If you rinse and clean your coco properly, well its only what YOU are putting in.

So basically you haven't researched CEC and Coco. Gotcha, Your single user case can't dispute peer research data but I digress with the other 90% of Coco users who aren't running dtw or multiple feedings a day. I didn't say calcium either.
