Mg deficiency?

Whats up guys!
Popped 5 TGA apollo 13bx. 4 females, forcing the male to flower early for pollen and further beans.
Just repotted from solo's to 5g buckets. Probably around 1.5months at the moment. Started indoors under California lightworks 200w solar storm. Transplanted outside a week ago into soilless mix left over from last year that i probably should have flushed prior too. Noticed this 2 days ago ------>

So today I've flushed both thoroughly and given a little epsom foliar spray. Just wanting second and third opinions. I have CalMag but thought foliar was faster..

Cheers guys!

So i suppose, to be more specific. I don't think it's a Mag issue from what I've read, but more a shitty PH of the old soil mix?
The leaves appear rusty, are sharp and pointy at the edges.
As i said earlier, i've flushed and foliar fed epsom salts at 3/4tsp per litre.
Can anyone suggest next steps? Get some CalMg in or wait and see how they react post flush???
 
So i guess it wasn't an MG def. Any idea here guys?? I did a full flush 3 days ago and gave an epsom foliar feed. The other pheno is looking fantastic. This one though needs a little TLC obviously!!

Bueller???
So today i gave them a little feed of CalMG and a hint of G.O. Bio Bud just to hopefully boost the Phosphorous levels.
ANY other thoughts appreciated??!
 
Already done. I doubt it was nute burn, i'm all Organic and believe in the less is more theory! All new growth is looking great and green now though...

Ok i got bored pressing the metal button..but for real

What are your temps and can you estimate ph? Its deficient in micro nutes like mo zn iron
Looks like ph is off, temps are off. Or maybe rh and cfm, either way transpiring too quickly..too much n? Not enough cal..possibly from too much n
 
Seems like potassium deficiency :

New leaves grow thin and show interveinal chlorosis. That dark mottling in your leaves.
Also you get edge burning and tips.

What I would do is check runoff on next watering. Since you flushed , see if plant perks up.
When it becomes dry again water again and check runoff , if run off is high , just water again , if PPM is where it supposed to be .... Then leave it. (((((NO FEEDING.))))
you actually now have the nute level it needs . Technically you are " skipping " a feeding.

Good luck ....:clap::bigjoint:

Very thorough fine sir! Just had a closer look and it is a little more pronounced on the edges now. All new growth seems fine after a medium strong feed of bloom ferts as i was leaning towards Phosphorous def. Should these deficient parts go back to full green or is P non mobile?
I think i'll have to drop the coin on a PH meter. Got one of those useless stick things that always reads 7. They perked up after the flush but this one still doesn't seem to cut it.

All new growth seems to be chugging along fine after a medium feed of bloom ferts for what i was thinking might have been a Phosphorous def. Old growth is more pronounced on edges now so i think Budzbuddha might have taken the prize.

Well, all in all a productive season. A squirrel chopped a plant to make a nest but that aside i topped 1/2lb a plant of Apollo 13bx. Good smoke for sure. I screwed up the pollination process as the one male i had copped a beating with regards to light cycle. Have found a couple of stray seeds but doubt they'd be anything reliable.
One plant as you can see above was a temperamental little thing, ended up being a taller / thirstier / hunger phenotype with more purple development and wayyy more floral smelling.
The other pheno was a stump little lady with beautiful structure and didn't complain about food at all. Happily took what was given. Still smelt delicious, just not as pungent as her hangry sister..
All in all for my first season in 5 gallon buckets, fully organic outdoor. Delicious.
Looking forward to next years grow, still have a 5 pack of jillybeans & a 5 of querkle. What strain next year peeps?

Peace..

Potassium. You are correct and advice is kosher. Thumbs up.
 
Cheers VTMi. That's a really handy little chart. Will come in handy no doubt for the future runs... All in all I'm happy for the 1/2 lb a plant in 5gallons.. Can't wait to get back to some good soil.
First run, must say I'm pretty impressed with Subcool's Genetics. Excited to see how the rest play out...
