I am feeding with tps one and CalMag oac one time, then it’s back to regular tap water (well water) that comes at 8.5 pH with 156ppm of tds. The feed was approx a pH of 6.5. More importantly is the consistent soil pH which appears fixed at 6.8 I know it’s lazy! However…. I have noticed doing this to reveal to me that the soil pH is very stubborn and not easily changed by the pH of the water alone. Stuff in the water can definitely have an impact. But still, most feed waters I use don’t change the soil ph. I do make sure the pH is within a healthy range for soil, something between 6 and 7 I figure is ideal. I’ve found if there is enough lime in the mix, and as long as I don’t over feed soluble nutes, then the soil pH appears stable and fixed. With enough lime in the mix, I can ultimately arrest the soil pH at 7. It’s really cool. I thought adding too much lime would give me something potentially alkaline, and maybe it will. But I’ve added lots of lime before and still haven’t gotten past 7 pH. Maybe I didn’t add enough to go further? Nevertheless I’m not interested in going past 7. I haven’t seen any issues with the speed of growth watering with 8.5 tap water, surprisingly. As I’ve said the soil pH would read 6.8 before and immediately after watering with the 8.5 tap. So….. I’m thinking the stability of the soil pH is a positive indication that the microbes are not being subjected to pH shifts, or at least nothing substantial. I mean, at the end of the day when things are looking good, I feel like I must have something right.

Does this look like Calcium deficiency? This is from the mother actually, she is flowering for seeds. I’m pretty sure last feed was too heavy on the phosphate and not enough calcium. I just want y’all’s opinion in case I am missing something. It’s the brown spots I’m referring to

I've yet to c any toc or def but I've seen my fair of nutrient/fert burns. But that, is just a stain from whatever you are using. Anything acid like a PH adjuster or whatever nutrient you dropped on your plant and didn't dry it off the light just burns it. They are clear drops. Toxs and defs don't form in that type of uniformed way. To me its a droplet pattern. Your plant is looking a lil pale though. Bit of extra food in her diet will get rid of that. Good luck.

I keep seeing this reddish or bronzish discoloration in the new growth when it’s just starting. Almost a purplish color at times. What kind of deficiency could this be? Or something else entirely?

your night temps are a little cold and thats new growth so mostly they came in lacking chlorophyll and yellowish but yours are coming in purple and rich in anthocyanin triggered by cool nights probably. give it a couple of days.

I know for a fact that it is some kind of nutrient issue. I’m not sure what but that’s what makes the most sense. Because it ONLY shows on very early growth and then disappears as the new leaves continue to grow. I’ve been through very cold weather and never seen this.

It's the very 1. Phosphorus usually causes purple sometimes. But it's not that. Nothing to do with nutrients. It's fade. Some plants have anthocyanins. And for some reason you are seeing a mutated form of that. Its just fade. It's caused by a drop in temp. Some ppl can get it in spades some can only get plane Jane green leafs. What you got is a mutated bit of fade is all. That's all. Your plant is healthy. Its fine. Happy growing.
