Hard to advise on a secret recipe. too much calcium? Only just getting into living/homemade soils etc. Never bothered to ph the runoff as soil phs water anyway and nutes ph water, but that won't apply. What have you got in your soil for calcium and is your water quality hard or soft?

Mr_Cannab1sir you are absolutely right! I am new at living soil and stuck pretty closely to the revs tlo super soil mix besides all the extra crab meal, bone meal, oyster shell that I didn't think to balance with some more acidifying amends thanks for bringing this to my attention!

She looks healthy as fuck mate! I wouldn't worry too much, all I could advise is make sure your waterings are at ph6 from now on, do you check the ec/ppm of the run off too ?

Root rot or pH imbalance?This blueberry muffin (f) plant was doing well until last week when it started deteriorating. Its grown on a mix of cocopeat, vermicompost, perlite mix and fed on compost tea and cal-mag mix. I might put it down eventually but I checked the pH and it was 5!

My autoflowers are getting bright spots on leaves. What could the reason be? (Week 3, no nutrients given yet because they are in all mix)What could the reason for those spots be? I suspect one of the following:
Nute Burn because my Autoflowers are in 75% Allmix.
Cal/Mag deficiency because my water is very soft and a bit high in natrium.
Light Burn because the DLI was ~25 when it should be 20
