Cal mag def? Total newbie

Lots of choices out there, I've used fox farms for yrs, but just made a switch to nectar for the gods, they have a sample kit available on their website, just shipping. I figured WTF? Organic, 6 qt bottles and a couple smaller ones. I can't recommend it, it's waiting for my next grow to start, but if you want to try higher end stuff, or need nutes on a thin wallet... check it out on youtube.

This is what showed up for 22$ in shipping.

:biggrin:...different strains, different tolerances/preferences,.... and each pot becomes it's own little ecosystem too, so assume nothing is the same in each,... it's not the soil blend itself, coco is a common ingredient in many true soils, but the amount matters, and so goes the demands for Ca-Mg, and as mentioned, what the coco itself releases,... I see your dosage of the food is pretty low at least,.. but somethimes too much of certain nute elements can cause uptake issues with other similar charged ions,... well, it's moot now anyway after flushing,.. but with no info about the run-off, it's impossible to say if it was enough, or if this is a pH related issue, a K toxicity or defc. issue,... the list of good nutes is huge, so it comes down to what you can get and want to spend,.. organic or synthetic (I'd stay synthetic on these now),... my point is that there's an ideal N-P-K ratio for cannabis, and 30-10-10 no matter how dilute, isn't it,...usually I see N-tox starting before long on this ratio,... remember, nutes are taken up whether the plant needs them or not, there's no selective process behind this,...

Very informative and helful. Thanks..

So the last 2 waterings have been distilled water only and things are looking better. New growth is not showing any signs of "burning".
Temps are normal, humidity is low and she is growing nicely.
I also ordered some Nectar of the Gods samples. Waiting for them to arrive.

Glad it worked out for you

:thumbsup: good to hear mate! ... how low is the RH%? this is one of those environmental parameters that gets overlooked for importance,... it has a powerful affect on transpiration, the flow of water and nutes from roots up is linked to this, as well as cooling,... really low RH can kick-off lors of prob's if the plant gets stressed enough to close up those stomata to prevent severe water losses,... any bad combo of high T, low RH, strong air movement can cause this to happen,...

Fluctuating between 37% - 51% primarly in 30's with lights on for 21 hours. It is one parameter I have not overlooked. For about 4 weeks now it has been steady between 35 & 41%.

Weather outside is cold and rainy so for the past 24 hours temp has been steady at 82 degrees and Rh is at 41%. As of 3 hours ago
