Struggling to keep up with deficiencies.
Lost a bunch of fan leafs to calcium, magnesium and phosphorus deficiency.
Using more perlite, does help prevent overwatering since the medium dries fast, but also makes it harder to keep soil ph in range, decided to double the nutrient dose and situation is improving I think.
Feeling I am running into more cal-mag problems with a perlite heavy soil mix.
I guess the best ratio is around 20-25%, no more.
It’s amazing how short this plan is I don’t think you’re going to get much of a yield though. I can’t give you much advice on the nutrients because I cannot see how much you’re adding per gallon.
You should be on a 12 hour cycle the 18 hours is not necessarily helping anything but wasting energy I find that more of the magic happens in darkness. Depending on if you’re just using your bloom mode on light you are definitely too far away and should bring it a little bit closer maybe 24 inches from top
