Great attitude. I'm in VA as well. You should not have to use Cal Mag every watering just to let you know. What kind of water are you using? Tap water? Well water? You can end up with too much calcium and it will cause a lockout of other nutrients to your plant. Check and see if the nutrients your using have calcium and magnesium in them already. If they do then the need for additional calcium and or magnesium will be minimal depending on your water source. Big keys for a new grower are proper watering, keeping your temps and humidity in a good range and keeping things simple. Don't overfeed them a bunch of magic potions that are marketed as weed products. A simple nutrient program and good watering habits will grow you good buds as long as you have a decent light.

Try bringing the humidity down to 50 if possible. Temperature is good humidity not bad or horrible just 50 and 40 % humidity is optimal for flower. I don't believe he was angry or assuming you're gender well crap there I go assuming someone gender

Thanks so much for your input!!
So I don’t give the cal mag each feeding-it’s like 2x/week and I’ve been going pretty low (1tsp per gallon). The lotus does have cal and mag-so maybe I need to be more cognizant of that at feeding.
Yes, I am using tap water and I’ve been trying to be diligent about Ph. I test prior (usually 5.7-6.7) but there have been times it’s been super high so using either using lemon -my preferred use- or I have Ph down. Now in the plants that I started this thread with the run off was reading like 5! BUT I saw new growth so I kept plugging along.
Im hoping the auto I have going now stays healthy and strong

Haha. I probably took it a certain way-I admit it.
Yeah I get details provided will only help me.
I got my in-line fan finally working right so I’ll work on adjusting the humidity!!! Took me forever to figure out how to program the damn thing!! Thanks so much for your guidance!

Yah not mad nor do I care if your a man, woman or what ever socially accepted pronoun you want to use. The plant you just posted doesn’t look that healthy but better. If your are using leds the temps need to be higher humidity at 65 to 60 is where I keep it until pretty much the end. then drop to 55% at the last couple of weeks. Stop using bottle nutrients.

Tbh I simply call people a dude or a chick. I don’t adhere to all the pronoun nonsense out there. I don’t feed crazy.

ok I’m really just trying to understand and learn. When you say hungry—water? Some people refer to that as nutrients but you said to stop giving it bottle nutrients so just trying to understand.

Powdered nutrients are better and go further. You dont need alot different bottles or junk to grow really good weed. For instance I have three full blown commercial facilities and use front row ag for them all. Even my most bottom buds that see little light are frosty and fantastic. I almost cut it off but I left it just for fun. And then there's a canopy shot.

They need food is what I'm getting at keep them a nice shade of green start to finish.

I found this out after spending tons of money on every bottle and organic nute you can think of. Best results were a 15$ bag of powdered Maxibloom. Gave all them to my friend lol

First of all your pictures are like a piece of artwork-absolutely beautiful.
Ok I’m using a powder nutrient-lotus. I’ve been feeding 2x/week.
I see what you’re saying about the faded color-should I up the feeding?
