I only use cal-mag and humboldts secret stacker. I just started using humboldts secret stacker though, i ran out of big bud and humboldts had next day delivery. My intention was to stay away from nitrogen by only using bloom nutrients and cal mag but cal mag is the only source of nitrogen i can think of that caused the toxicity

whats the NPK of your soil, and the secret stacker

yeah that was definitely it tbh... stupid ass me completely over looked the 2-0-0 on my cal mag and i fed her cal mag EVERY watering...

Thanks for that because those wilting leaves hurt my heart... she just always looks like shes in pain... the lower leaves which are still healthy but dark and shiny dont show the wilt as much but im seeing signs of improvement from the lower level... but man those wilting leaves... just really getting to me

I also only use store bought distilled water... this is kind of the reason for transplanting instead of flush because to flush would force me to use tap water which here i can smell chlorine in. But i couldnt just let her sit in hot soil until the waterings eventually flushed her out... it was a hard decision tbh

also big bud, how much are you feeding

Big bud I gotta find the npk
Humboldts: 0-7-5

i use the dropper from the ph solution and fill it up two times for one gallon of water, calmag i use the same type of dropper but three times. This was the only way i could think of to measure nutrients lol... this is my first grow so while i try to give them the best, its all a learning experience for me

how many ml of calmag. sounds like calmag + from botonicare , since there is no other N source you've likely over dosed , but what soil are you using? its also possible your soil is already heavy in nutrients and you didn't need any
that said you need to provide more info. do you have a pH meter ?

distilled water is like RO and you need the calmag anyway since you don't use Tap water so removing it will cause more deficiency

the chlorine won't do anything bad your not using organic beneficial bacteria so forget worrying about that

tap is easier to deal with

i have a bunch of ph reactor from the ph up and down brand that i use to test ph every feeding. I do have a ppm meter that i never used. I believe i over fed them the cal mag as well because i made aure to cut nitrogen out the first week of flowering(or atleast tried to).

for soil i use this brand of potting soil called promix from walmart. I have a bunch of this stuff for my regular houseplants, so i Utilize that especially since it contains mychorrizae

ok promix is considered a "soilless medium" so no longer following the rules if soil. Ph must be set to 5.8 to 6.2.
your definitely going to need that ppm since we follow hydro rules in soilless, 2-300 ppm for seedlings always nutrients when watering , the promix contains nothing.
stop feeding nitrogen in the 3rd week after stretch you need N for first 3 weeks to assist in that.

if your dead set on using distilled you must use the calmag to replace what you wouldn't have with tapwater. 150ppm of calmag is fine

Dude you have a terrible powdery mildew issue going on. I would focus my attention on that issue first. Lack of airflow most likely. Get more air moving in there next run.
