Day 30, the ladies seem to like the increase in Co2. I’m still battling the mysterious leaf spots. I sprayed them with Neem Oil just in case it’s some kind of fungus or septoria. This should stop it from spreading if it is. Still maintaining a 6.0 pH. They get a nutrients change in a couple days, I am going to give them a full dose of CalMag, it’s recommended at 5ml/gal and I’ve been giving them 4ml/gal. It’s RO water so CalMag is definitely needed. **I have solved the mysterious leaf spot issue. It’s a Calcium deficiency 100%. Going to raise the pH to 6.2-6.3 and give them full doses of CalMag and see how they respond. Upped their feeding this evening and changed their res. #1&2 are getting 7.5g/gal of each V1 and V2 from FloraFlex nutrients. #3 is getting 10ml/gal of Advanced Nutrients MGB, and 8ml/gal of B-52 Day 31, decided to give the girls a little trim today. #2 and #3 more specifically because they had huge fan leaves blocking out light to some lower sites. Hopefully this doesn’t endure too much stress on them. I’ve also had the lights dimmed this whole time, decided to amp it up to 100% power. Will update again in 2-3 days to see how their responding. Day 35, #1 was showing brown spots again, I think I may be giving them too much nutrients. I dropped the PPMs from 1080 to 880 and adjusted the pH because it was dropping. pH has stayed stable over past 24 hours, plant doesn’t have any affected new growth. I gave all the ladies another trim as they were getting pretty bushy. Still not officially flowering yet they should be starting here really soon though. I’ve never grown an Autoflower before but I’ll learn.

Cali_Grown_420started grow question 4 years ago
The fan leaves on one of my plants are getting yellowish spots. I noticed it yesterday and checked the pH and I was at 5.0. I corrected it to 6.0 and 24 hrs later still 6.0 but some of the larger leaves are starting to show yellowish spots as well?

Hey buddy,I think that yellow spots mean Calcium deficiency.Cal and Mag are not available much in lower pH range.As I can see you are using pH perfect nute, I think you should change your res.

So plant #1 is still having some Calcium deficiency issues. I’m using RO water and giving the recommended dose of CaliMagic which is 1tsp(5ml)/gal. I’m in DWC and using LED full spectrum lighting. Why can’t I stop these spots? Should I give more than recommended dose of CaliMagic

I'll elaborate what messes with a lot of people is that there is actually and excess of calcium and almost all cal mag formulas are formulated with nitrogen for Transportation except 1 that I know of.. Anyway Cal-Mag is gathering dust on my shelf.. I grow everything all strains with a lot of intense led light...

Hey hey I think they are looking much better. But your still set on the Cal-Mag try running without it altogether trust me.. Your Trio series from AN will do much better with just the three then with it. Your calcium intake has not really been reduced at all..... Keep in mind the spots are actually being caused by an "excess" of calcium..

@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, so I only have two plants on the Advanced Nutrients Trio. They also showed signs of Calcoum Deficiency but the added CalMag has stopped the spread thus far. I think I finally got my ratios down. My other two plants (one being the most effected) are on FloraFlex which is a synthetic salt based nutrients. I ended up changing CalMag brands and talked to a guy at a local hydro shop. This CalMag seems to be doing better. I tried cutting it out on the two with AN but they started showing a deficiency so they definitely need it even not being in coco

@Cali_Grown_420, The Trio Formula from Advanced nutrients has ph balancing agents in it... You could most likely cut out the cal-mag.. But don't take my word for it. Trust your gut... I ended up buying some Pro-cal from Green Planet Nutrients just in case, I get something like this. I am experiencing more problem in the micros towards the middle so I am by no means an "expert" on this topic.. But the idea of adding cal-mag is absolutely tied into Coco growing and doesn't really lend itself that well to Hydroponics.. I mean honestly I lean towards the cleanest, lightest possible flowers I can get... So I'd rather be a bit light on the nutrients then go overboard. And by light I mean smooth not weight wise ha ha.

Cali_Grown_420commented4 years ago
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, only reason I still use a small CalMag in my water is only for FloraFlex and I bring my PPMs up to 100-150 then add my nutrients. I don’t want to use my tap water because it really not good at all. And this is only because it’s direct instruction from FloraFlex

@Fast_Buds, happy to be growing some of your guys genetics. Seen nothing but good things grown with your genetics. Do you guys have any PPM or EC recommendations for these girls? I’m going to be running Advanced Nutrients starting at 1/4 strength. But I’m also using FloraFlex on two of the plants. Manufacturer recommends an EC of 1.6 or about 800ppm on .5 conversion scale. Wondering if that would be okay or if I should tone it down a notch? Do you know of any growers who have used your genetics with FloraFlex?

So I am running my pH between 5.8-6.3. I’m in DWC, I upped the CalMag and I feel like it got worse. I change their res with fresh water and nutes weekly. Tomorrow I have to change the res again I’m going to put very little CalMag. I’m if I remember correctly this may have started when I started increasing the amount of CalMag I was using. The nutrients I use as Cal and Mag in it already. We will see what happens when I lesson and not increase it.
Cali_Grown_420
Cali_Grown_420commentedweek 64 years ago
The nutrients I use specifically states of using RO water to add just a little CalMag just to use as a buffer. But I’ve been adding close to full dose according to the CalMag bottle. I’m gunna use less Or none and see what happens.

Wicked_Stixcommentedweek 14 years ago
You usually don't need any calmag until around week 3. But on your hydro plants they will need nutrients. I start feeding mine 1/4 strength dose on day 3. Good luck!
Cali_Grown_420
Cali_Grown_420commented4 years ago
@Wicked_Stix, ah okay that makes sense. I’m going to be using two types of nutrients. Advanced Nutrients MGB (hobbyist additives) and FloraFlex. I was planning on doing the whole grow with AN but when I realized how much more expensive it was gonna be I decided I was going to try out FloraFlex as well as it was more affordable. Going to do 2 plants with each. But my plan is to just use FloraFlex after this. Ive seen many grows with people using it and seems pretty good and they all love it. And it’s super affordable in comparison. I’m on day 9 right now, so now that you’ve mentioned this I’ll probably start them all on nutes now. I don’t know how I feel about this little one though I’m just gunna treat her as being a week behind the others.

@Cali_Grown_420, the cotyledons won't feed them for 3 weeks in hydro. If you are using a high quality soil then it can feed your plants for a few weeks. Not in hydro though. Not sure which nutrients you are using but most nutrients don't work as advertised as far as holding a steady pH. If you want a trouble free grow then I would get some maxigro and maxibloom. They hold pH steady and they are a great stand alone nutrient. They have everything the plant needs. That is what I use. I also use RO water and the plants usually want a little calmag around week 3. Fastbuds recommends 1/3 dose on day 5 in hydro, but 1/4 dose on day 3 has always worked well for me.
Cali_Grown_420
Cali_Grown_420commented4 years ago
@Wicked_Stix, my understanding is the plants don’t need much nutrients this early as they get majority of their nutrients from their two cotyledons leaves? But it’s recommended to use a little CalMag if using RO water and the type of nutrients I’m using. As the nutrients needs some kind of buffering agent to stabilize pH levels.

Burmese is right about the PH, lower levels cause this problem. With DWC you really need to keep on top of your PH daily and do regular water changes.
