only second grow please help .

well around 2 weeks ago i started to notice some of my lower leafs were starting to get brown spots on them so started reading the previous threads and the help threads to diagnose my problem .i came up with the idea it was a cal deficiency /mag deficiency so i sorced some epsom salts and carried out flush treatment to plants then mixed the salts with water and watered the plants 3 days latter with that salt mix and sprayed leafs with same mixture .5 days latter (last night) i had to remove(cut off) a lot of my lower leafs so i dont think i have diagnosed my problem correct any info welcome . please help .

400w hps
ph 7
waterd every 2/3days
18/6 veg think 5 weeks old

from what I have learned salt is a bad thing because it inhibits roots and foliage from uptaking nutrients thats why your PH is so critical I would flush the pot out with about 3 times the water as you have in dirt 5gallons dirt 15 gallons water
then you can start from stratch and top feed your nutrients mixed in with the water. you could have some kind of nutrient in your dirt that your plant might not want in tell the bloom stage. then when you switch to bloom change your nutrients to bloom stage

geetee- i do have a fan blowing on them i will go change that the now .

john - i read here that epsom salt helps a cal /mag deficiencey it acts the same as cal-mag a product you can get from grow shop it helps the plants as long as you dont over do the epsom salt mix . i also have flushed them with the way you say .

wen i repot i dont remove any dirt unless its alrdy loose as the dirt is prtty settled in alrdy. if u repot, the roots will grow out and into the new soil and thers no need to try and knock the old soil off. but u can try as long as u dont damage to much of the root system
