Flowering - Browning and Curling Leaves

Member
Can someone please provide some advice as to why one of my two plants has browning leaves which are curling up. My other plant is completely healthy and I'm treating them identically.

1) Growing indoors (CFL grow box)
2) Watering schedule - every 2.5 days (fertilizing with organics every 3rd watering - Pura Vida)
3) Growing Medium - soilless
4) What stage of growth - 4 weeks into flowering
5) Checked the soil pH using a test kit. Was ~ 6. Water with 7 pH filtered tap water to bring pH up.

Many thanks.

Hopefully, these are good enough. I can't zoom in more with my camera without getting really blurry. Thanks for any help!

Using Technoflora Pura Vida organic according to schedule on bottle. Using a combo of Grow and Bloom, as indicated for aggressive crop growth.

what do you mean your plant shows no signs..? mag can effect yield, grow, and other things

all you have to do is look at the back of the bottle it will tell you everything thats in your nutes..npk, micronutrients and everything

I haven't noticed any physical problems in my 'good' plant, which was from the same seed set as my problem plant. My good plant may be deficient - I just don't see any obvious signs.

calmag, magical, or epsom salt may help. or a flush and re-watering with a complete micro/macro nute solution.
Thanks. I tried both, actually. I did the flush and re-fert (have 0.5% Mg), but not sure if it's enough Mg. I then watered with dilute Epsom salt solution and spraying the leaves. Should start seeing improvement soon, if not, I still have another nice plant.

Nice grow - BTW.

I'm using Pura Vida aggressive as well. I'm having a similar problem with one of my two plants. It is affecting both plants, but one significantly more than the other. I'm adding ground pelletized limestone now, think if its calcium or mag deficiency or overly acidic soil, them lime will help.
