Is that S or Fe deficiency, or something else?

Hi all! Noticed that the newest growth is slightly pale. I’m giving about 1,25 ppm Fe with feeding, and 60 ppm S. pH is 6,3-6,7. Solution ppm last watering 830 ppm. The plant continues its growth, forming flowers well. Currently in stretching phase, 4 cm per day.

830ppm is pretty low... I think they're a bit hungry and you could up the amount of nutes you're giving them. This is the guidelines I use: PPM readings in soil. Early Growth: 400 to 500 PPM — You won’t see too many particles aside from what’s in your grow medium. Seedling: 500 to 600 PPM — The information above applies here, though any starter nutrients will affect the readings. Early Vegging: 800 to 850 PPM — This is when you typically transplant. At this stage, not a lot of particles are needed. Mid-Stage Vegging: 850 to 900 PPM — You’ll start giving your plants more nutrients at this point. Late-Stage Vegging: 900 to 950 PPM — Nutrient intake increases as your plants prepare to flower. Early Flowering: 950 to 1000 PPM — As your plants grow, they need to eat more. PPM readings will reflect the particles in the increased nutrients. Mid-Stage Flowering: 1000 to 1100 PPM — Your plants’ nutrient intake continues to increase at this stage. Late-Stage Flowering: 1100 to 1150 PPM — This is when your plants are eating the most, especially if you provide additives. End of Flowering/Flushing: 0 to 400 PPM — At this stage, you’ll be flushing your plants. Ideally, you don’t want too many leftover particles at the end of flowering. You also want to make sure the PH of your runoff is within the range of 6.0-6.5 with 6.3 being the absolute sweet spot. Good luck!

Guys, thanks for your answers! I agree with @GrowingGrannie, it looks like low ppm. @DissNoof, that’s really interesting approach. For now, I’m increasing ppm to 900-950, and keeping ppfd at 500-520, 32,4 DLI, not higher. Maybe I will reduce light hours from week 3 of flowering. Very interesting 🤔

hey there Mr Incognito, that's from the heavy light cycle without a calmag spray the plant is simply not able to absorb enough magnesium through the roots. That's because uptake efficiency through the roots is 20% and through the leafs is 80% , so you can make an epsom salt spray , and spray that twice a week to compensate. The best way is to treat the root cause which is the too heavy light cycle, just reduce it by 2 hours this week then hour each week until harvest actually it will not take more time than with 18 and usually the week tastes a bit better + stronger. Up to you. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Looks healthy to me. They are growing a lot right now and new growth just is less dark. I'm sure they'll turn darker.
