skip the Ca-Mg for now, feeds have some anyway,...and you don't have any Ca or Mg defc. symptoms

Sounds good i will thanks. Any soil recommendations thats already made up in a bag to get away from fox farm in the future?

Are you in the States? Roots Organic original is solid, 707 is richer and my be too much for seedlings,... I'm using Royal Gold King's Mix and loving it, their first true soil (coco specialists otherwise),...light/fast drying though, so heads up there, but performed very well- 
..... heard some positive words about Black Magic and Dr. Earth soils,... and get youself hooked up with a good soil pH probe, like the Accurate 8... right tool for the right job, in-pot measurements!

Thanks, yes sir I'm stateside. I'll look into roots organic original I've only read good things about their products so far
@Waira what do you think? Still Just deficiency? Haven't been able to feed her as much as I like. Went from 1/4 dose to tiger bloom to half. She didn't like it. I got bio buzz nutrients on way. Leds is 24 inches away, 72-75 degrees. And humidity is 40 percent. Run off has been 6.3-6.4. Plant is 6 weeks old today.

yeah, that last dose went across the line, got some nute burn going,.. pH is Ok surprisingly so that's a plus! Just give her a break for a few rounds of water only, and if you have inoculants dose the soil up,... BB nutes are OK, but very mild, and organic so they will take a bit longer to work... double ditto on the inoculant if you're going organic feeds! it's thier job to breakdown and cycle those organic goodies into forms the plant can take up....
thanks for all your help and yes sir plan on going to bio bizz grow and bloom and fox farms big bloom, also photosynthesis plus for microbes. That's my plan. Trying to get as organic as possible until I eventually make my own supersoil.

Those should be fine,... I'm curious myself about what this product has with my fav' Recharge..... slightly different products, to be sure, but I'm sure there is some overlap in microbial species included,.... I got a free sample kit of that PS+ and other things too!
fuck a duck, I was a bit worried that may happen,... a potential lock-out of Ca or P from the overfeeding,.. that may have simply been the tipping point feed, could be it's been building up in the soil for a while now, and is starting to cause a sort "fight" for uptake in there.... too much of some thing can mess with the uptake of another, by sheer competition or by bad chemistry interactions,.... Is your pH meter recently calibrated, and when you tested run-off, was it after you fed or used just water? the latter is the only semi-valid measure of pH, and even then, straight run-off is usually not a reliable measure of in-pot pH,... that it was in OK range is at least a plus, but the question above may change than depending on your answer,...
I think it's P defc., but I find that Ca defc. can appear very similar sometimes, even on the same levels of the plant (usually mid-to-upper leaves).... too much Ca can mess with P uptake, so I'm wondering if you have too much Ca in there from previous inputs,.. I know, it's a real bitch! ....you need extra Ca-Mg because of the LED's, but too much and you get other crap happening... Did you stop the Ca-Mg inputs? ...BTW do you have a TDS or EC meter? ...measuring that run-off ppm would be a big clue,... As is, I leaning toward a pot flushing to purge the excess ion load out of there,... I'd use low ppm water, measure the pH and ppm before going in, and while flushing, (2-3x/pot volume generally) take new measurements occasionally to see how well it's dropping ppm's and correcting pH.... P demand is high right now, which is why I'm not sure about the symptoms,....
