So Fox Farm is notorious for being low in Cal-mag? I use FFOF, grow big, and RO water, ph is 100% stable and in range, and I have crazy deficiencies in multiple strains. Leaves are dying from the bottom up, tips turn brown and curl and die while the rest of the plant turns neon yellow and dies. Happens on 2 different indicas and a sativa. I have done a flush and started a fresh nute regimen the next watering. Still happens.

Usually....if ur usin tap water.....you gotta use cal mag with any nute line.....Either that or 25% tap water to replenish the cal. and mag. that is taken out with the R/O......Peace

Does tap water have enough cal and mag in it to make a difference on deficient plants? I'm waiting for my calmag to arrive....

Well....yes....25% tap is just the cheap way of adding calmag....Just let it sit out for 24 hours so the chlorine dissapates.... You also might wanna lower your base nutes a tad to make room for the extra ppms(you do the same with calmag)....i got a buddy that does this all the time and he gets great results.....Saves some dough on the cal mag as well......Hope this helps....Peace
