Am I a complete idiot? What in the hell do I keep doing to cause this?

I dunno, I'd rather have my soil right around mid-70's if I could. 83 for root zone seems like you're pushing it. I only like my tent temp to be 83 because I know it's a few degrees cooler for leaf temp. IIRC, if you look at what ideal water temp to hold and deliver oxygen to plants and not give 'em root shock , it's something in the mid-60's (don't have the site or chart in front of me right now), so mid 70's would seem legit for roots.

I started having a similar issue a month or two ago but only with sativas.

i tried everything and couldn’t fix it. Turns out the issue was using water that was too cold from sitting in the garage as winter came on.


once I started warming the water up before feeding them everything went back to normal.

I swear I’m just lost. Seems like all my plants keep doing this. So obviously I have a huge problem. Ph is in right at 6.5 during water feedings. I use Ph perfect advanced nutrients sensi a and b. My tap water is around 170ppm so every other week I’ve done a light calmag feeding. My room stays above 70° even when lights are off. Lights are a 450w cree cobb and it’s way above the canopy. Watering when pots are light. And look at this shit. Every plant. Purple. Growing in “organic” natures care soil”

You’re only running sensi a and b? You have a phosphorus deficiency for one. Im guessing your lights are too strong to only run a and b so you need to up the strength of nutes and get some big bud or Atleast a light bloom booster. The yellowing of leaves on your plants let’s me know you’re feeding way too light of a solution

And what the hell is causing all of my tips to go purple? That’s the phosphorus lockout? From calmag?

An excess of calcium can lockout phosphorus. Why are you adding any CalMag when your plants aren't showing a calcium or magnesium deficiency? It's next to impossible to find out what your base nutrients contain. I'd steer clear of companies that go to lengths to hide what their products contain.

I definitely fucked up and added to much calmag. I’m assuming that’s hard to come back from? And I have AN sensi a and b. I also have house and garden soil a and b. But haven’t used it yet. I’ve heard it’s a really light feed. What do you recommend? I need something easy man. I get too twisted up. Did you have a chance to look at the plant in coco I posted?

Yes they both look hungry. Drooping plants are usually causes by three things, overwatering, underwatering, or light stress.

What's your light situation? Post# 35 above.

In my flowering tent I have a 450w phlizon cree cobb and a 200w maxisun. Only using apprx 500w from dimming down the two. In my veg I have a Mars 300w and another maxisun 200. Veg tent shouldn’t be a light issue. I have them pretty high up too because of issues.

How often are you feeding that Jack Herer and what is it being fed?
