Few issues I see

Calmag, add some
Under or over watered, probably under

Promix needs a bit more regular watering, I feed every water about every other day

What strength of nutes u using, could probably up it a bit, not ppm, % of manufacturer suggested amounts u using?

using remo nutrient full line up
Half strength grow
Half micro
Full kelp
Foliar spray magnifical
Full strength natures candy

I do a leach every 9 days or so just straight water and hygrozyme and diamond nectar

Any tips is mucho appreciated

Feed about the same every other day or every three days tbh they could maybe be getting a bit too dry each time

Get some epsom salt and feed it some mag at about 250 ppms ...a few times with or with out nutes.
stop using kelp when you put it in flower

So the epsom salt for mag except the magnifical is pretty much just a calmag already so I should add more epsom salt ?

yes
your plant is a mag whore
maybe drop the mag ppms down to 175-200 if your going to add both products...you can foliar and add at the roots but definitely at the roots
and get a microbe product and use it once a week or so

and picking off some of the lower leaves that aint doing much will increase growth and add better airflow...picking off the leaves , the plants root system wont have to support those leaves removed and can direct that energy to other areas....a few leaves dont be stripping it bare.


magnifical you say is a foliar spray (using it as a foliar spray) I imagine you aint doing it right are you adding a surfactant getting a hundred percent coverage under the leaves with the lights out ..at what ppm what sprayer , and how often, i know you dont have the kind of sprayer I use as I made a custom one that takes care of these things.(coverage issues). and how often.

you said you leach every nine days...so flushing every nine days...not a good practice flushing out all the microbe population...getting a microbe product and using it will take care of what the hygrozyme is doing for you and wont need to buy that which is expensive. Its a good practice to flush once halfway in veg and halfway through flower to remove any salt build up to prevent any issues coming from that ...renute add back microbes. I dont think every nine days is the right thing to do.

Thank you and no I just use like a Home Depot sprayer hand sprayer bottle . I spray the plants in a different room there vegging 24 hrs a day and wait for the plants to dry a bit and put them back in the room with the lights dimmed until I don’t see water turn it back up . So your saying use a surfactant? Can you recommend one ? And don’t bother with hygrozyme and diamond nectar? This medium I use has mycorrizahe in it but as you said yes is probably being washed out . I appreciate any advice and would love
To hear a feeding schedule/recipe that I could use from what I got here if you got time

you should put it on 18/6
dont buy anymore hygrozyme and get microbes and I was ok with the diamond nector but cant remember what it was right now.

Ive sprayed plants under a 1000 watt hps without any issues but the important thing to do it in the dark so it doesnt dry as fast. At least under my lights they dry fast but they aint going to get damaged under the lights so if you want to keep moving them thats fine too but imo not needed. but switch to 18/6 the plant does alot in dark period.

a surfractant is just a soap to lay the water down get a clean natural soap if you can. Yucca.
