It has white spots I looked I have no spider mites I don't know what the issue is I'm hoping it's just calcium deficiency because I have no Cal mag this is my first grow but it's like turning pale and it's under the LED it looks more pale and white with white little spots on the leaves but when I pulled out it doesn't look as bad but something is definitely up I use Fox farm trio she's in Fox farm ocean dirty been in there since I transplanted once ago before budding

Plants need lots of Calcium in flower for sure. Transplant before flowering into fresh Ocean Forest? What medium was it in previously?

Check PH of ur water

I started it in my backyard underneath my tomato garden I was trying to hide it and I found out that was a bad idea it was in that regular outdoor soil mixed with what I purchased from a gardening store

Yeah when I take pH it was at 5.0 I put pH up but it didn't make much of a difference and I didn't want to run too much water through it cuz I already ran about a gallon and she doesn't have much dirt

The swing from that soil to Fox Farm is probably what the issue is - looks like FF was much hotter in microbial activity than ur tomato garden

I'm not a professional - this happened to me in one of my first grows. I went from coco to FFOF and lost the plant

I'm using the bottles of liquid ph up and down what is it better medium for me to use for the dirt cuz I know there is one but I could never get an answer on this what do you use to lower and raise your pH

I'm not too fond of flushing - wait until her pot is light and then fill the top portion with 5.5 water, watch that shit drain. if it's not sripping out of the bottom, Fill top portion of the pot with 6.0 water and watch that shit drain. You should have some drops run out the bottome and she should start adjusting..

I use tap water. My tap runs at 8.5-9. I use PH down sparingly. I rely heavily on my mixture of dry amendments to do their thang and handle my PH swings. I personally hate FFOF because of my experience with it, also I live by the ocean I already smell it enough. Medium is preference. Depends on what you're working with and what you want to do.

Coco Loco was fun for me. Plants grew like crazy but needed to pick up the nutrients through liquid feeding or dry amendments when the soil starts to get tired

I just saw you said you ran a gallon through her already.. Maybe flushed out a lot of beneficial stuff in the soil. I'm going in blind here with you but before ur next water, add a little more of your Fox Farm up top and water it in with the steps above

How long did you get away with it before you had to start adding nutrients

Took me through veg - I would add topsoil every other week just to make sure. Once the plant started to look hungry, the growth slowed a little bit I knew it was time to get her on a schedule :eyesmoke:
