is this a mag def?

First I thought it was a ph issue but the water I'm giving it is 6-6.7ph and run off is basically the same.

it's in an organic soil using sugar peak as supplemental nutes. Also using great white, roots excelurator, and molasses.
growing under cree leds.

I always thought that between the molasses and my tap water that it had plenty of cal/mag but the more research I do the more I'm leaning towards a mag def.

also there is a picture of another plant that only showed a problem for one set of leaves then everything was fine so I'm not worried but would love to know what caused it. It's the picture of the leaves with almost rust spots on it. These leaves are crunchy? Then normal almost slightly dried out.

thanks,

Yup. Add a Ca/Mg.

Cal Mag is a great product. If you are growing in soil; You can add a tsp per gallon of "Epsom salts" Magnesium Sulphate.

I use 3 TBS per 30 gallon res.

you have spider mites pretty bad bro!!!

You got bugs!

Looks like two different pests. On the top its got the tiny white spots and underneath it has tiny black spots, perhaps thrips and mites?

Ouch. I agree those black spots under leaves. Uh oh. Check with scope to verify. Then if you want to continue organic treating is not easy with those fuckers. Check out pest control methods cause spiders mites will be controled but never conquered.

Neem oil

Spidermites are gone I know I had them and azamax took care of that. I was almost thinking I had some type of root bug some type of thrips or aphids so I ordered a product that will take care of all bugs.

I'm more concerned with the slight yellowing.

you always add Epsom salt or cal/mag or only once every month or every 3rd watering etc..

what do you guys think about that rust colored spots on the leafs.

will mag defs. Cause slow growth or decrease yields?
also what will these bugs do, obviously I'm getting rid of them but what type of problem do they cause.

I'm amazed more people don't do this, add a dusting of diatomaceous earth to the top of your soil/medium.

3 Benefits
1. Adds Calcium
2. It's white so it reflects light back to the lower leaves
3. It will kill almost any insect when dry.

Plus it's organic...

Forgot to say that Is already in the plan. Got a few lbs from my brother that has a ton of it for his pool filter.

after putting down some captain Jacks dead bug brew I'm going to sprinkle some dia. Earth to the top of the soil.

I was just going to say that! I am a proponent of Diatomaceous Earth. DE Food Grade Codex. Make sure you do not use DE for swimming pool filters!!!

As mentioned above; DE food grade codex is eidble. Humans, Animals, and plants can prsoper using DE.

DE has a full range of nutrients available, and can be added to ffod for human, and animal consumption. It will rid digestive systems of parasites. "We all have them".

Great stuff. "D

Really? Learn something new every day.

Nutrient lock out from calmag can happen stunting growth, bugs stunt growth also. How long have they been in those pots? If they're root bound they will look like crap and will be stunted also.

Their not root - bound they are in airpots so it's kinda impossible for that to happen. But once there's a bunch of roots coming out the bottom i wait another 2 weeks then i up pot.
