Does this look calmag related ?

I started adding small amounts of calmag against my own judgement . I don't have soft water . I've only added 1/4 strength to two feeds. To see how it handles . But already showing signs of what I can tell is yes .... Scrap the Cal mag ... ?

What do you see in the picture that causes you to think you should cut it out? I'm seeing otherwise.

I'm not doubting your observation. Excess and deficiency just look the same to me. How much calcium do they need. My tap is 300ppm would that not be sufficient ?I guess not

Depends on your base nutes.

What all goes into your normal nute mixture? Soil or coco?
PH? Feed PPM/ppm? Freq. Pot size.

Examples of major elemental ppm for some popular nutes.

I'm using general hydroponics trio , growing out of bio bizz all mix soil pH is 5.8-6.5 usually 6.2 . Haven't been tracking ppm just following base nutrients grow chart but at half the strength . And haven't been experiencing any issues up until now 3rd week of flower when more calcium is needed

Ok.
I'm not much help, no soil experience, only coco.

I did read how they precharge the All-Mix with nutes. But no idea how much of what to use in your situation.

Wishing you well on all your grows.

Dump the calmag, we dont need it in soil unless running RO. If running RO, also stop, unless tap water is unusable. Your PH is ok, I like to add a little hydrated lime to my soil as additional buffer. Also add Azomite at start of flower.

When reusing soil I add the same ingredients into soil and more new soil/perlite if volume is low

Looks like you're in early flower now, she needs food based on pics and your description of half strength feeds.

Give her one full strength feed around 3ec, ensure you have plenty of runoff. Drench the soil. You'll notice improvement in 24hrs
Happy growing:blsmoke:
