Growing in Fox Farms Ocean Forest...
Using RO water....
Outdoors....
Hana Ph meter everything to 6.5
Found out that using RO water will cause Cal Mag problems....went and bought a bottle of Cal Mag. Started adding 3-4 weeks ago when this problem first appeared. I haven't been using every watering....should I have been?

Did a soil flush with several gallons of RO water yesterday and today...checked runoff PH by adding 7.0 RO...then checking runoff, it's at 6.5

Last used nutes (Botanicare Pro Bloom) 9 days ago. Old fan leaves are being affected first, then older leaves.

Funny....my plants always look terrible after a rain? What's going on here?

Thanks for the help....

They are hungry feed them. 9 days without food is a long time in flower.

Been staying to the directions...1tbs to a gallon of water.


I tried using tap water....makes them look like they do in the photos. I'm in Az with super hard water. Went to RO water and they looked 100% better at first.

those are budding nutes you still have to feed them micro nutes and grow nutes ust lesser amounts

I was using Botanicare Pro Grow till they started flowering...then switched to Pro Bloom. So I should still be feeding the Pro Grow as well? I also using Botanicares 'Silica Blast' to help w/heat. It's just a phosphate.

When I was using RO I was a stickler and always calculated out the ppm of all my nutes. Kept cal-mag at about 100-150 ppm usually.. I used those free calcs on the nute websites (GH had the best one). During flower I kept N at 50-85 ppm and P at 140-190 ppm, didn't have any problems, but every strains different so you gotta tinker with it a bit.
