Is this Magnesium (Mg) deficiency or something else please help me,(pic 1)
I also have red fan leaf stems on one of the other plants,(pic 2) Phosphorus(P) deficiency?
I am using ionic bloom nutes with no other or supplements.
They are under (left to right pic 3 150w hps, 125w envirolite flowering bulb, 150w m/h)the front left is the one with red stems and the front right is the one with bad leaves mainly on the bottom of the plant.
i am only using 4ml of nutes per litre of water.
should i get some epsom salts?
Oh they have been in flowering for 4weeks and 1day.

I have read that the red stems are from phosphorus deficiency but it also could just be the strain.

I have read that epsom salts is good to use but I never use anything like that on my plants. I personally would flush them with fresh water and see what colour comes out the bottom of your containers. If it is yellowish then you are doing a nute overkill but wait for suggestions here because I am really not sure.

Buy a bottle of CalMag and use it according to the directions on the bottle. Leaves will green up.

thanks lacy i think they are northern lights
here is some more info on my grow
they are in soil cheap asda compost + 20% perlite
temp is 82 humidity is 50-55% (65% after watering)
i think the ph is about 6.0-6.5

i watered them last 5 days ago (with same nute but at 3ml per litre )had red stems on one of the others that has since cleared up

i watered them today ( with nute 5ml per litre)then noticed the marks on the leaves just after maybe i should'nt have put nute in this time

they were dry last night left watering till today

before that they had plain water for 2 weeks as they were transfered into bigger pots

[SIZE=-1]Cal-Max is derived from Calcium Nitrate, Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Nitrate, Iron, EDTA and DPTA. The two sources of calcium and iron are available at varying pH levels, thereby increasing the plants ability to absorb these elements.

would this help
