i need some help fast. I am in my 5th week flowering with 2 super lemon hazes one blue widow and one kushage. all were doing rly well but all of a sudden i have a cal mag def. first it affected the kushage plant then the slhs now the blue widow. i flushed all of them and waited till the soil was almost dry then i watered half the strength i usually do with tiger bloom and i bought some cal mag hoping it would fix this problem. ever since then the plants have gotten worse. i just foliar fed with epsom salts 15 minutes ago.

i have a 600watt mh in coir i water about a half gallon whenever top of coco drys up. any help would be appreciated. i dont think theres a need to put pics up cuz i know for a fact its cal mag def. if anyone wants i will.

any help would be much appreciated cuz these buds are looking nice and i dont wanna ruin my grow.....

by the way i was wondering if this is going to affect my buds/ overall yield in the end. thanks

you should be letting the soil completly dry it might look like a cal mag def but it could be toxicity do to nutes becuase of not waiting to water just because the top layer is dry doesn't meen its ready to water especially with a decent amount of light it could of just ate the water in the top layer ide flush again with straight water and water with staight water maybe mollasses because it has all those trace nutrients and it wont get deprived
good luck this is only my opinion if you dont like it wait for someone else i might add pictures of problems are almost a must it will only help your cause

Well, it's automatic that you'll get a cal-mag deficiency if you are using distilled water and no cal-mag supplement. . . . . .you needed the supplement or to use tap water from the beginning.

Have you ever heard of lowercase!!! Im sick of everyone in the world overusing capital letters in text. Im mean sssesh. Actually just kidding I care not one bit. Not everybody cares about the same things like punctuation. In the grand scheme of things punctuation is one of the least of my worries.

In my experience, it won't go away. The damage is done. Continue to add Cal-Mag, and use it from the beginning in your next run. Keep your pH in check. If it shows up again, you could either dial back the ferts a bit, or increase the Cal-Mag. whichever works best.

So your Cal/Mag deficiency isn't getting better:lol:So looking at the way its looking I have come to the contention that its a possible Ph fluctuation:lol:On the high side:lol:I'm thinking your watering when the top of the coco/dirt is dry:lol:I believe they call this the "Watering by Hand Method" I've use this method when growing in all rock wool its a very effective mean of growing:lol:You still need to let the growing medium dry out just as if it was dirt:lol:When watering or feeding give'em little flush:lol:But let it dry out:finger: Here's Your Period:finger:

The spots, the upward withering leaf curl, yeah, that's it. Sure, it could be caused by pH lockout, but you were using distilled without a supplement; case kinda closed.

i checked on them again today and still the def. got worse i watered with one and a half teaspoons of fox farm tiger bloom, one teaspoon of molasses, and one teaspoon of cal mag. i know its a lot of cal mag cuz theres some in molasses too but its not getting any better so i thought i might as well just add both.

im getting kinda worried now so i would appreciate it if somebody can try and figure out whats going on. i already flushed them 3 days ago. this def. has been going on for about a week now.It started in the middle of the plants affecting the largest fan leaves and now its working its way up.

also i was wondering how this is going to affect the overall yield in the plants because all of my large fan leaves are affected. thanks alot anybody whos worried as much as i am:-(

Don't expect them to green up. Once the leaves are dried, those leaves are fucked. It'll take a week or two to see any changes.
