All,
This is my first grow and I have run down the numbers. Everything was done according to the general hydro feeding schedule, I have supplemented with cal-mag also, water is phed to 5.8 to 6.0 and I am still getting what looks like mag deficiency 3 weeks into flower. At this point, I don't want to add any more mag, but leaves are continuing to turn after removing other ones that were showing problems before the addition of cal-mag. So, I doubt I'm "nute locked", roots look good and they are thriving, the main stalk is over 3 inches in diameter and the roots are crazy big, so no root rot or root issues. No bugs, no spiders and the temperature is consistently around 70 degrees both room temperature and water temperature. At this point, I have a great plant that's producing buds everywhere, but the fan leaves and sugar leaves are taking a beating and it looks exactly like Mag deficiency. Could this be chlorinated water issues? I had been letting it sit outside for 24 hours but got a bit lazy. Our water is nowhere near "hard" but it does smell of chlorine out of the tap. I've never had any other plant "complain" and have grown some very particular pepper plants that hate everything (basically). SO what do you think? Ride it out for the next 4 weeks until harvest or is there something I should do to save my yeild without making the bud suck up tons of chemicals?
Thanks in advance....
