06/09/21 [Day F9]: Magnesium deficiency has either completely stopped or is spreading so slow it's imperceptible now. WAY better than a couple days ago when it was advancing like the storm troopers into Poland. Feeling good about that, left a couple yellow leaves on in case it gets any worse but I think we're back on track after the double-dose of Cal-Mag and a little transition nutes.
Hadn't done any defoliation in a couple weeks so I did a bunch today. Some lolipopping, uncovered every possible growth node and removed the leaves that were completely covered. Otherwise left them as bushy as possible.
Another update on my nutes. All I've used this whole grow is:
-Humboldt Nutrients basic 3-part (Grow / Micro / Bloom)
-Silica
-Cal-Mag
-CAPS bennies
-Washed coffee ground amend
that's it! I don't like recording the amounts in the journal because I go by feel and every plant gets a different amount depending on how they're doing. Way too organic of a process for me to measure precise amounts of solution fed each time, but everything is mixed at recommended strengths and fed as needed while watching how the plants react.
Don't think they should be deficient in anything yet, they're in new Ocean Forest soil and only on day 11 of veg, no way they used up what's in the soil yet.
More details in my grow diary comment.
This is damage caused by the leaves hitting either the edge of the pot or the soil surface when the fan blows on them and generally at night when the leaves are lowered. Nothing much to be concerned over.
Filling your pots right up to the top would give more room for root growth.
Hope this helps,..............

I agree, looks like mag. Be careful when removing leaves as if the deficiency is not corrected she will start taking nutrients from another leaf. Causing more damage to the plant. I'd leave them on for a a little longer in future. You can cut the dead bits off without issue, if you like.
Hope this helps 🙂
@SegaYGriega, aw thank you! They've come a long way since I fried and stunted them in the early weeks while figuring out the LED light strength and proper distance 😄 now they're cruising 😎
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
