I usually PH my water... I run it between 6.5 & 6.8. I just use citric acid crystals. I have a soil recipe I am planning to use with autos this winter. If it works out well, I may run it all the time.

Its either a ca deficiency or a mg deficiency.Gaia has both and if you added lime prior to planting you shouldn't need any.

I didn't add lime since the promix apparently had some and I didn't want to mess around too much.

Hard to get a picture as theyre all napping atm but all 8 of my plants are showing these same symptoms at varying stages.

They were transplanted 3 days ago and just got their first half watering. I wanted them to dry up before watering again. I have both epsom salt and gypsum I intend on adding in a couple hours with a little more water.

Edit: you can ignore that battlescar that was an oopsie on my part. Probably didn't pick the best leaf in the dark.

These are my 8 square one genetics GG4 x BBC on week 3 of veg in the promix + ewc + gaia green.

4x8 tent, 7 gal pots, 5x 240w quantum boards on about half power atm.

Other than the little calmag (I hope) issue that I've now (hopefully) addressed, they've been growing well and I've been happy with the progress on day 22 from first sprout. They need a defoliating but they were recently transplanted so I'm giving them a break for a couple days.

If you look close and see a white substance on some of the leaves its just diatomaceous earth, not pm

I dont, not a public one at least. I've been logging their progress privately, but to be honest I didn't think this was going to go very well

You'll want to cover your soil,keeps it moist and alive.This helps the microbes chew down the gaia.
