First 2 are a GCS. 3rd and 4th are GDP. 5the and 6th are a second GSC and the 7th and 8th are Jillybean. 9th is canopy pic of all 4 girls.

All are fed Nectar for the Gods sample pack regimen at recommend mid flower. Ladies are at week 2 of 12/12. Using tap water sitting 48 hours before use with out of tap ppm of 350 and 7.0ph. Soils is (flame suit on) miracle grow organic soil.

Please help me take care of my Ladies.

Nitrogen issues present them selves different: leaf does not yellow but turns a dark green in color , Cal-Mag will yellow leaves - consider flushing for 1 week and if going organic look at "Super Tea" and "Budswell". One must cut down on base nutrients when using Cal-Mag and increase amounts slowly
 
Epsom salts for magnesium and I'm sure I read you can make soluble calcium carbonate out of egg shells and vinigar, egg shells are almost pure calcium

Almost 1 week of flush and they are looking a lil worse. Tops look great, bottom leafs are yellowing and some dying (brown and crisp)
 
Personally id never flush in hydro till the end, a fresh tank change is all thats needed. The whole point of soilless mediums is it gets fed everything directly to the roots, flush it and your locking out every nute not just the 1
 
Its most probably not calcium issues, they only need next to trace amounts that's found in ya water.

Also, the more mag u add, the less calcium that can be uptakes and vice versa so be careful putting the Epsom salts in, don't overdo it, cannabis's plants are mag hungry plants

a lot of misinfo here.
1. nitrogen deficiency does cause yellow leaves.
2. cal mag creates rust spots(looks like nute burn but all over the leaf not just the edges.
3. if you are growing in coco you do need to supplement with some type of cal mag as coco is a calmag hog.
4. do not flush with straight water, make sure to add a weak nute solution. your plant looks worst after the flush because you left it with no nutes.
5. dont worry too much about the lower leaves during flower as those leaves are usually the first to die off as the plant no longer needs them.
just let it grow man, stop fucking with it. its made it this far and your tops look good. good luck with your grow bro, and is not a bad idea to add a little N to the flowering nutes as most are lacking. peace

had to cone back to this thread, 7.0 is too high of a ph try for something in between 6.1 to 6.7

A lot of misinformation there, them rust spots u say calmag gives your plants, is normally a sign on mag deficiency if from lower to top and calcium from new growth to old...

You don't have or need 2 add calmag if using the right nutes, if using hydro feed for coco, then yes, you need 2 supplement the calmag but coco feed has the right amounts of cal&mag for its purpose.

Also, if the plants get exactly what its after when it needs, the plant doesn't need 2 cannabalize itself, only reason they grow fan leaves is for nute storage in case in the wild u have a dry week, it'll drain the leaf. A proper indoor system doesn't need them if they are grew well enough.


I found just adding Epsom salts done for me when I done the wwxbb, when I didn't add that 2 the first 1, every plant hermied.

When I added it, healthy potent ladies.

So, people could try Epsom instead of calmag, beware, the more mag u add the less cal that gets uptakes and vice versa, so only use a couple of pinches

I can see the black mini mosquito looking adults flying around. I noticed them early but I didn't think they could affect the plant so much. I believe I got em from some clones I bought.

honestly to me they look fine. The lower leaves on indoor pants will often yellow and die just do to the plant not needing them. The one thing that may be a problem is the one plant in the picture that is lime green. It appears to have a N problem. If it is not a strain that is generally that color i would feed it more N next time u feed.

often confuses me why black strap molasses is SO overlooked for its calcium and magnesium content...
So simple, and loaded with other goodies too, but it seems every two or three days people are looking for a cal/mag supplement.
