What seems to be the problem?

I woke up to leaves doing some funny coloring? Is this a virus or a deficiency?

I did take clones 5 days ago...


Houndstooth - 6 weeks old
Soil
pH 6.8-7.0 (avg)
RH 50-60%
RO water with Green Planet Dual Fuel line.
19 inches from light (I did notice yesterday I was a hair close to the light ((about an inch)))

I feed at around 5.0-5.5pH my soil just retains high. I'm too worried to destroy the bacterial culture to add much in pH reduction

Add CalgMag on top of Dual Fuel 1&2? Or wait for my nutrient levels to rise back up since I'm coming off of a flush?
Or in other words... keep feeding normally, start with a quarter and work my way back up to my regular schedule (and not use any CalMag at all)

I'm not sure whats in dual fuel I've never used it but typically with RO water you need to add some calmag Everytime. Again I don't grow in soil so I'm no expert on the topic but I know with coco sometimes extra calmag is needed. I run flood and drain so maybe somebody that uses soil can help you out a little better

It's got all the nutrients i would need, CalMag would just be excess at that point. I'm going to try just reintroducing the nutrients slowly so as not to burn.

Your stripping out the Calcium and Magnesium by using RO water so you MUST add it back in. Doesn’t matter if you giving it nutrients as they don’t have enough Calcium and Magnesium to replace what you’ve taken out by using RO water. This why it’s showing clear signs of Calcium deficiency and Its only going to get worse if you don’t.

Also, a pH of 6.5 to 6.8 is where you want to be for soil. Feeding in the 5s will give you nutrient lockout.
