word to growers: dont eat 300 mics of lsd and try and water your plants, will not work, lmaoo.. after a bit of rebalancing the soil watered and fed today, 6.7 going in and 6.5 coming out. Shes on GB, TB, BB, CalMag, and Bud Candy the last two definitely saved the day and not a day too late!! Im also giving her a bonus light supplement of my Formula Flora powdered water soluables. Did not get a height measurement today, but pics will be in a day or so. Buds are starting to fill in, let the games begin!! :drool:
Day 46, Soil ph 6.5. Height 27 inches. Will be starting two to three G13 Pineapple Express on Monday or two Auto AutoPounder's in the veg room, as my current first autoflower run seems to be a success.
of course, spoke too soon, checked on her today and middle of the plant to top fan leave tips and around the edges are burnt with a little white/yellowing tint in between the veins. not sure what this is? shes still got the claw too, today gave 2.5ml BB, .5gram Formula Flora water soluable, .5ml of TB, 2ml of Budcandy and 1.5 ml of CalMag in a 1liter feeding. ph came out at 6.5 for the soil. any ideas? will update tomorrrow to see if shes severely worsened as this all happened real fast since the plain water on Friday

Hey DS! :smokebuds:
I would disagree with the overfert diagnosis because there's no clawing at all on the new growth. I will definitely agree, however, that your lady has a magnesium deficiency. She has the yellowing between her veins and the rust-brown spots, as well as the brown tips on the leaves that are curling up.
If your soil pH is on point, then I would say she's just craving more magnesium. She's a big lady and I've found that all of my autos become magnesium hogs the first few weeks of flowering - ESPECIALLY when growing under my LED's. It's important to keep in mind that growing under LED's makes the plants consume more calcium / magnesium.
What is the recommended dosage for your cal/mag supplement? Does it list all the ingredients in the cal/mag supplement?
I use Epsom salt for my magnesium and have had really good luck with it. I might consider getting some Epsom salt and feeding at 1 tbsp / gallon of water, as well as giving her a foliar feeding with a 2% solution of Epsom salt in water. Continue to add the Epsom to your feedings, as well as foliar feedings two times per week until she gets back on track.
If you want to stick with your cal/mag supplement and aren't over the recommended dosage, you can also try upping your cal/mag as well.

Hello Kindred, Welcome!! i knew one of my deficiencies was magnesium i just didnt know if i could use more than the suggested on the bottle i didnt want to over do it, today i gave her 2ml instead of 1.25 ml. I have the Botanicare CalMag supplement as well as dolomite lime that i occasionally give in a tea feeding, also got some molasses. will go to the local store to see if they got some epsom which they should. the new growths are doing well, everything is getting alll sugary everywhere, bud growth is a bit slowed for what i think it should be but buds are swelling in the daily still
