Nutrient Deficiency?
Awillstarted grow question 4y ago
Started these plants over 7 weeks ago. At first plants were a really nice green, and now they are starting to get lighter and lighter. Thought it might be a Cal-Mag issue but it didn’t seem to solve the problem. Some leaves have a little purple on the outside on some blades

Low temps and reduced uptake, to me it more mag issue, but I could be wrong, wait for more answers.
I see calcium too, but violet could be genetics, cold or one of deficiency, ussually magnesium ...
All the Best !

PH drops every 4 daysI'm losing PH control 4-5 days after feed. PPM drops to 200-300 and PH drops under 5. I flush the res and add new solution every 5 days because this is what works to stabilize ph. It can hold ph for 4 days before I lose it again. You think I'm under feeding?Week 7

What is causing PK deficiency signs on mid leaves? Too little Calcium causing lockout??Hey everyone, in mid and late flowering with my autos, all experiencing similar problems and I’m inclined to believe it could be due to a lack of Calcium? Could a Ca deficient plant cause these symptoms which resemble a PK deficiency?? I’m 100% adding enough bloomWeek 11

Help with lockout of deficiencies. Don’t know what to do from here I already flushed em but doesn’t seem they uptake anymoreNeut lockout/Deficiency? I was watering less more frequently in fabric pots. I believe it created a lockout in the 3 taller plants by not allowing more run off of water. Correct me if I’m wrong there but what do I do now? They are not looking well and now the leaves are curling5y ago

What causes hydro Ph fluctuations early in the grow?What causes dramatic ph fluctuations in hydro conditions so early in the grow, and how can I mitigate it? I have hard water, so I know that’s part of the issue (I tried to install a RO system recently and failed miserably). Other than frequent testing & additives, what can I do?5y ago

Should I use a pH up -product?After mixing nutrients with my tap water, the pH of the mix is around 5.5. Should I use a pH -up product? Plant is showing a slight nitrogen deficiency.
My tap water base pH is almost 8.0, but the Biobizz nutrients bring it way down. I am using 50% of the recommended dosage.Week 7
