little sick...nothing too drastic though...

So..my grow is perpetual... (which, I will be changing to batch-grow pretty soon...
keeping up with all the nutes is insane.)

My flower room is 70F at night...
and about 75-80F during the day.
600W HPS on 12/12 following the Fox Farm basic trio nutrient schedule for soil.
My soil mixture is 1/3 organic potting soil 1/3 peralite 1/3 vermiculite

White Widow, week 5 of flower...not too drastic spotting, I gave her some Epsom, Azomite, and Molasses +nutes...
the buds smell AMAZING and they just grew some red hairs and changed to a slightly darker hue a this week. Sadly, I didn't take any flattering pics of her...:


This white widow in week 3 of flower.... drastic spotting, browning etc..
this is by far my sickest plant... she just got replanted and fed Epsom, molasses, and Azomite +nutes


All in all they don't look too shabby...

advice is more than welcome!

stay up

They need calcium Mag alone will not do it(epson salt)

That's why I gave them Azomite too....

Its rock dust slow to release cal if I understand it correct.

eh...I'm not sure I buy that...

first off...it's water soluble...
secondly... I mix it into my soil as well....(along with potassium silicate)
third...I've effectively used it to halt calcium deficiency in a plant before... 1 tablespoon / gal feeding.... spots never returned...

this lady loved the transplant I gave her... but still presenting with spots.

buuuuuuuuut...you could be right too...
I guess I may have to just get some cal/mag to rule it out...

Well if your PH id below 6.5 it could have locked out the cal? It just really looks like classic cal def to me.

word... I suppose I need to grab a Ph meter too..
I've never once tested it...
I guess both are possibilities I need to explore....

I used the CalMag...

REALLY wish someone had mentioned that there are TWO different kinds of CalMag plus...
one that's better for hydro and the other for soil.
I just lost 4 plants using the nitrate based CalMag... womp womp womp...

Its looking like phos and cal def to me. Azomite takes a couple months to break down so add some compost and ewc to speed it up and of course more p .high phos guano and some oyster shell flour. Make sure there is dole lime mixed in to regulate ph. Oyster shell flour will raise ph unless dole lime is present. If using bottle calplex is a Cal only supplement. Omri listed to
