Hi folks!

This is my first grow and I could use some help. Started to identify some discoloration on the CBD Crack and Gorilla Cookies about 12 days ago. NLS advised to mini-flush with half-dose calmag and follow with 2tbs molasses for next watering. I've had two waterings and one second half-dose calmag since. The G.Cookies looks to be holding steady but not improving and the CBD Crack is continuing to discolor.

I'm worried about hard water as I've been using my tap water since vegetation. At first, I was using an inline gardening hose filter to help with chlorine (850-1100ppm). I was advised that it may be filtering calmag also and leaving me with nutrient imbalance. The last three waterings, I've been using unfiltered tap water (1150-1320ppm). Always rested 24-48 hrs and ph'd to 6.5.

Not sure what (if anything) I should do at this point but suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

**Fun tidbit, I'm red/green colorblind and have a confusing time reading these plants when it comes to deficiencies and toxicities.

Please tell me your tap isnt 1000+ppm...... Yikes. That is not safe to drink so id assume not good for plants. That 1000 ppm isnt 1000 ppm of a balanced fertilizer.
I've never even hit 1000 ppm in full flower lol

My tap is indeed 1,000+ppm. Water was a primary concern before starting and I went through my three options twice with NLS and was told that all 'should' be fine (salt softened tap 920ppm, inline garden hose filtered tap 1,000ppm or straight tap 1,100ppm). I should have trusted my instincts.

Interestingly, the Gorilla Cookies shows fewer issues and the Forbidden Runtz seems ok.

I've gone back to using bottled spring water (400ppm) for the last week and will find a better option for next time. Any tips on how to get things back on track for the next 2-3 weeks until harvest?

Thanks for the reply!
