Hows it going guys!!

a deficiency popped up on one of my plants. :(

Think Different Day 50
Biobizz Light Mix ph 6.2
AN Iguana Juice Bloom
AN B-52
11L Pots
600 HPS
Temps: 85-90F when lights are on. I can't do anything about the temperature this grow.
RH: 30-45%
18/6 Light Schedule

I've been feeding every other day about 3L of water + Nutes. (3ml per L of Iguana Juice Bloom + 2ml per L of B52.

Ph of water going in 6.5

I used ph down during the veg stage since my feed was showing ph of 7 when mixed. The guys at the hydro store told me to absolutely never use ph down or up ever again since I am growing "organic". The ph of my flowering mix is a solid 6.5 with out any ph up or down.


Any help would be appreciated! The only leaves showing symptoms are the top 5 leaves rest look fine.

Have you been checking the pH of your run off? If so, what has it been reading? While it could be a deficiency it could also be nutrient lockout if your run off pH is too high or low.
 
Just did a feed; the feed went in at 6.5 and came out at 6.5.
 
Hey....I think it's going to be easy to calculate your soil Ph :)
 
Haha i think so too.. so i guess that leaves me with a deficiency. The local hydro store doesn't have any cal or mag in stock; they usually cary canna mono cal and mag. They seem to think it will be in late next week. Any suggestions? I am only feeding 3ml/L if Iguana juice; should i boost it to 4ml/L next feed? my other two smaller tds seem to be fine at 3ml/L with no signs of anything. The one with the deficiency is almost double the size in width.
 
Maybe some Molasses???
 
Epson salt for magnesium not sure what to use for calcium

Great, that eliminates any pH related issues. Magnesium and/or calcium/magnesium deficiencies can be common in plants that age. You're looks like magnesium. Your local grocery store or pharmacy should carry epsom salts. Add 1 tablespoon per gallon of feed. For quicker results, add 1/2 teaspoon to a quart of pHed water and foliar feed once a day for 3 days. I won't hurt to add some molasses either just in case you're getting low of calcium as well. Add it to the feeds, not the foliar spray.
