[beagleandbull]

I changed the res yesterday.
3 Gallons of water
.75 ml of floragrow
.75 ml of florabloom
1.5 ml or floramicro
.75 ml of floralicious plus
1.5 ml of rapid start
ph: 5.7

so I bought calibration fluid for my hm digital tds-3 meter. Unfortunately it's a piece of crap and decided not to work for me. Yes I followed the instructions, but it didnt work. I'm a little upset about this. I'm just going to have to invest into a new tds meter after I finish this grow because there is no way I can afford a new one.

I need some help before it gets to bad. A spot began to develop on one of the leaves. All the others appear fine from what I can tell. It's a little purple area. I'll be able to put up a picture of it in a few hours. Could it be some sort of deficiency? I'm probably wrong, but it kind of looks like a phosphorus deficiency.

Ok so I actually found that it spread to other leaves.

I went ahead, and added two teaspoons of calimag because my friend said it may be a calcium deficiency. I will check it when I wake up, and look back here if she doesn't look better.

dont think its cal mag deff mate ? ...looks more like PH imbalance or maybe to weak ppm's ?... whats her PH & PPM at now & how old is she ?:smokebuds:

She is a month from germination. Her ph was at 5.6 last night. I'm waiting for the lights to go on to check again. Well, I somewhat broke my ppm meter. I was using 1500 ppm reference solution for the NaCl style hm digital tds3 I had, but no matter how much I would try and calibrate it it would always read 5000 ppms in the 1500 reference solution. So I kept fiddling with it, and eventually I broke off the little orange piece that you screw to calibrate it. I suck at life......

I'd buy a new one, but my family and I have had to skip eating most nights because we are all out of money. Geeeez I need a job.

Res change. I added calimag, and my silica to the res to see if it would help. I had trouble getting a photo of the roots. I have a question concerning the General Hydro Micro I am using. I read somewhere that it stains the roots. Could someone confirm this? Because I can't tell if it's staining or root rot. I'll try and get a better root picture up later today.

Flora Grow: .85 ML
Flora Micro: 1.75 ML
Flora Bloom: .85 ML
Rapid Start: 1.5 ML
Floralicious: .75 ML
Dutch Master Silica: 2 teaspoons
Calimag: 2.5 teaspoons

I think it's a magnesium deficiency could someone confirm? Another thing on this thread it says on the mag deficiency area that between 2.0-5.7 PH plants don't absorb magnesium well. Should I raise my ph levels to stay at 5.8-5.9

EDIT: I actually figured it out, but would still appreciate hearing any advice. Also I'm almost positive my plant is stunted any way to fix this or is the growth going to remain slow for the rest of the grow?

hehehe my friend brought his pretty little girl to stay at my house for a bit because of certain issues. She is a little soil grow, and is currently flowering so now I get to watch for the last few weeks as she finishes up.
