The plants were struggling with magnesium deficiency this week and were growing a bit stunted. I think my tap water has too much calcium in it and messes with the pH of the soil. I bought a water filter and some calmag to fix the problem ;)
Hello there,
Today I saw that some of my plants have some curled and sad looking leaves (see pic). The soil is pre-fertilized and I currently use normal tap water (p.H. adjusted) for watering. My plants get 18hrs of light a day (approx. 300-400PPFD)
Thanks for you help guys :)
best example of magnesium deficiency , what caused it :
bad ph
bad watering regime, which played with pots ph
too much nutrition, nitrogen
too rich soil

they have article how to avoid, all plain and simple.
Happy Growing !!!
Hello there, beginner grower here. My plants are now in week 6 veg and have been looking amazing the past few weeks. As of yesterday, they all look a little sad. I watered about twice a week with half dose of BioBizz organic fertilizers.
Thanks for your help
to much food causing lockout. The leaf end curling down like that is nitrogen toxicity. and the inter veignal chlorides is a Magnesium deficiency caused by a lockout( to much food)
Plagron Royalmix has 6-8 weeks of food in it. And your feeding twice a week. Stick with just water for another few feedings.
Fully saturate the soil and let it dry to 2" below the surface before watering again. Your schedule should be water,water,feed,water,water,feed.
I see you have EC/PPM listed. Test your EC going in when you water, Collect the runoff and test the EC coming out. They should be close to the same. If not then adjust.(
In=Higher, Out = Lower - increase EC if the EC going out is higher then reduce your feed. or water only until it gets back to normal levels( could be salt buildup )
Good luck and Happy Growing.
anyway they need bigger pots, transplanting will sort them out, if you use Mycorrhizae to sprinkle roots, maybe no need even of calmag as extra for few weeks after transplanting, but you could use light dose with every second feed in the future, like 0.25 ml/L of calmag.
Happy Growing !
@lotuslord, nothing ever recovers, but main thing for it not to spread, they will grew new leaves, don't worry ;)
even with ridiculous picky plants, were i had it too, i sorted out it at the end, here you have good cheat in transplanting and kind off resetting all to factory mode ;)
just maintain it after, i gave you all options witch could lead it too, you have to find answer yourself, only you know everything what you have done.
like 8 and 10 photo of week 3 and 3rd of week 4 , transplanting will recover and boost them a lot tho. Nothing to worry like.

@AsNoriu,Thank you very much for your help mate. I've always been monitoring water p.H. and my tap water has an E.C of a bit over 500, so there seem to be lots of minerals in there.. Anyways, I just ordered some calmag supplement and will transplant my girls in a few days.
Will the bottom leaves recover from mag deficiency?
