Hello, I have just started to notice some stripes in the leaves and a few brown spots here and there. I am freaking out right now and was hoping someone could help with diagnosing these ladies.
Feeding- flora trio
5ml micro 7ml grow 2ml bloom
5ml cal mag 4ml silica per gallon
Feeding every other to every third watering

Great picture! I'll let others chime in. If it was me I would add a small amount of Epsom salt to you next watering for magnesium. Let it dissolve in the water. I use less than a teaspoon to a gallon of water when I use it. I use it as a foliar spray also for Mg deficiency.

Thanks
Here is what I have been doing
I was using Epsom salt with the flora trio
Them purchased the cal mag
I had saw those stripes a while back maybe 3 weeks ago . So I started using cal mag
In my watering and feeding.
I use 5ml per gallon
Is that not enough ?
So maybe try to feed via foliar spray ?
I will try that. Thank you for the help.

Just be careful of the lights. Most do it at lights on I think. I'm able to roll my plants away from the lights so I don't do It the same as someone whose plants can't be moved around.
Not sure about your fertilizers, everybody does things differently.
I use about 8 drops cal mag per 6 cups of water in 3 gallon soil containers or 50ppms of cal/mag+ when I water.
I'll use Epsom salt two or three times by mid flower and maybe top dress with dry amendments like down to earth Bio Live at about 4 weeks into veg. I only use the flora trio in an emergency which for me likely means I'm not going to be seeing top shelf buds because I'm in trouble if I use them. That doesn't mean they don't grow great bud it just means my plants are in trouble or I would never use them.

No you are over thinking all this

if these were mine

I'd flush the pot with 3 times the pot volume

with air temps water allow to drain over night spray some calmag

and allow to recover no nutes for 2 weeks

good luck

is that a lot of calmag you are already adding? like what is the recommended amount, only reason i ask is that too much calcium can lock out magnesium so if you add more to help make it better you can actually make things worse?

I would try to add magnesium only, epsom salts are a good alternative - also agree on the flushing and backing off on the nutes for a week or so, just so you know where you are
