Recovering from magnesium deficiency

Henry2018 · Dec 12, 2017

Well this time last week I was shitting myself thinking my plant was Gona die as she had a magnesium deficiency and it was spreading faster than wild fire and overall she was drooping and looked so sad... So after trying cal mag nd Epsom salts I had no choice but to flush and now nearly a week later she Is thriving, loads of new green growth just hope she recovers fully....

Shes looking good! I had a Cal Mag def as well, Scared the hell out of me too lol. Thankfully shes recovering nice! Only lost a few lower leaves completely at the bottom, so it wasnt a big deal. Good luck!

next time skip the cal/mg and just foliar spray with epsom salt and water. will fix it way faster and you don't get the extra Ca and N in the cal/mag.

teaspoon a gallon. once a week but really get the tops and bottoms of the leaves.

I also prefer to feed supplements via the leaves. Reduces chances of taking roots that already have problems to deal with.

So do u soak it or just a light spray and at the same time do u give it when watering or not.

You can drench them, just don't do it with the lights on.

Another thing to try if your having camg issues is to adjust your ph to between 6.3-6.5. That's where camg is most accessible to the plant

Chef420 · Dec 12, 2017

Ditto on the above post. What’s your ph like?

Henry2018 · Dec 13, 2017

I normally keep it around 6.3

Always supplement nutes with epsom salt

Tom Tucker 313 · Dec 13, 2017

optimal ph is 6.4

All these diagnoses without anyone suggesting a soil test??? GTFOH. loads of spray and pray advice here.

Mg def

@rkymtnman "next time skip the cal/mg and just foliar spray with epsom salt and water. will fix it way faster and you don't get the extra Ca "
