I have a cal or of mag deficiency and I got some cal-mag plus from botanicare today I was just wondering if I should mix it with my nutes on my watering tomorrow or just give it the calmag. Or use it as a foliar spray and water it with nutes tomorrow like normal? Any advise is appreciated.

IF you do in fact have a cal/mag issue, then yes by all means foliar feed. Be careful tho, Ca and Mg balance is delicate. an overabundance of one can lock out the other. Posting pics when asking for help is always the best course.

If it were ME (and it's not), I'd just add a tsp per gal of Epsom salts to my water and see if that doesn't straighten it out. Foliar feeding is a highly effective way to deliver nutes to a plant. Could be overkill in this case.

The only nutes I've gave it is a half teaspoon of grow big. That has magnesium in it but no calcium. So does that mean I shouldn't use the calmag? But I'm not sure but I think it started before that. Right now all I have is the cal-mag and. Would it be okay to give it nutes and the cal mag or should I just use plain water? If I
Give it cal mag would one fourth of a teaspoon be okay?

I eon't know what you have for cal/mag or what the recommended dosage is, but I'd give them a full dosage at least twice. I'm sorry, but I have never used "grow big" and have no clue what the NPK values are for that product so I cant tell you much in the way of whether or not you have a deficiency. I'm with Cobnobular on this, it didn't look all that bad and I'd be careful screwing around with it. Sometimes plants just develop what I call "hangnails", little things that look like they might develop into issues, but end up clearing themselves.

Just keep an eye on the new growth. ;)

I seriously doubt you've killed it. You'd be amazed at what they'll recover from!
