Have a WW autoflower around day 55. In a mix of happy frog and ocean forest (3:1) with added perlite.

Noticed brown spots on Upper growth after giving a 1/4 strength dose combination of BioBizz BioGrow, Top Max, Alg a Mic, Roots Organic Buddha Bloom, RO Trinity, and Hygrozyme. All were added at 1/4strength.
It has gotten worse over the last three days since first feeding.

Thinking nute burn but also looks like a calcium deficiency.
Any thoughts or advice?

Any idea on a strength? I just acquired GO CalMag

GO ca/mg+, 4ml per gallon usually keeps all ca/mg problems from ever happening! And that kind of dose won't ever hurt a plant that doesn't need a ca or mg supplement! And one should always add that to their feeding schedule (i call it preventive medicine), because ca and/or mag deficiencies happen more often than any other deficiency!

You're using 6 different products. At least 3 have kelp and molasses or sugar. Why are you using similar products at the same time? Choose one. You don't need 3. Any deficiency is more than likely caused by all the stuff you're using and screwing up your soil biology. But what the hell. Add another bottle to the mix and make it a lucky 7. Calmag fixes everything anyway. Or so I've heard. I've never used it in decades of growing in either soil, coco, or hydro. Never any Ca or Mg deficiencies. But I feed a balanced nutrient that contains everything a plant needs and not all these bottles of designer products.

Started with BioBizz BioGrow, Alg a Mic, and Top max. Bio grow for veg, alg A mic to help with any nute burn throughout and for resistance to diseases,and top Max to enhance bud density, aroma, and taste. This is what they describe what their products do.
I obtained free samples of RO Buddha bloom (figured I would use this as base bloom nute) and Trinity and figured I’d use that as general growth enhancer.
Hygrozyme is neither nutrient or fert but add good enzymatic activity. Or so I read.
CalMg was bought to cure the cal mag def.

I understand that some of these have the same things and may be fighting each other or doubling up in some instances. It just confuses me when I see others use much more nutes and have less issues. Many nute lines have bottles that contains the same ingredients so it does confuse me. I’m real new to this and trying to figure out what works best for me but looking for a little help in starting my ship off in the right direction.

feedback and critiques are always welcome as long as not ill-willed

cheers

It's not your fault if your confused. These nutrient companies actually make things difficult for newer growers. They split everything up into different bottles so they can sell more product. Some of the ingredients need to be kept separate until time of use but many are just split out so they can charge another $20 for a bottle.

There are simple 2 and 3 part nutrients available that contain everything the plant needs. Some even include calcium making calmag an unnecessary product.
