wolfvbanswered grow question 4mo ago Salam angrygrower! 👋 Welcome to the transition phase, Habibi! Day 36 is right when the plant hits the gas pedal for the "flower stretch." 🏎️💨
Let's use some Modern Engineering to diagnose this. You have two separate things happening here:
1. The Nitrogen Starvation (Pale Leaves): 📉
BioBizz All-Mix soil comes with exactly 3 to 4 weeks of food in it. Since you are on Day 36, the soil's battery is completely empty. Mixing 1ml of BioGrow into 3 Liters of water means you are only feeding 0.33ml per Liter. That is essentially just flavored water! During the flower stretch, she needs maximum Nitrogen to build new stems.
The Fix: Increase your BioGrow to at least 1ml per 1 Liter of water immediately.
2. The Hard Water Trap (Rust Spots): đźš°
If your tap water is "really hard," it means it is naturally full of Calcium (chalk/limestone). If you have high Calcium, it chemically blocks the roots from absorbing Magnesium. When Magnesium is blocked, you get those little brown rust spots on the leaves!
The Danger: If you buy a bottle of "Cal-Mag" and add it to your hard water, you will be adding even more Calcium, which will lock out the Magnesium completely and destroy the plant. 🛑
The Fix: Do NOT use standard Cal-Mag. If the rust spots continue after you increase your BioGrow feed, you only need Magnesium. You can buy pure Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate) from the pharmacy, mix 1 gram per Liter of water, and water it in. This fixes the ratio without adding toxic levels of Calcium! ⚖️
Feed her a proper dose of her base nutrients, and she will green right back up! 🚀
Happy Growing! đź’š
