Panicking... again. Help me save her please.

Yes Calmag is normally added before you put in your base nutes.

This is a pretty important point. One of my worst mistakes was adding calmag directly to a already-mixed res. The pH went absolutely insane and nute lockout kicked in pretty quickly. Didn't figure out what it was until I came here. By that time one of the plants died. With help from the amazing people here, the second plant stopped getting worse.

I learned a very valuable lesson -- that is that the plant wants to make it to flower even more than you do. Her motivations are survival. Never give up, cuz they sure wont. Sure enough, she recovered and produced 500 grams wet at harvest around day 120. I am still amazed I got anything at all.

Thanks Auto Flower Network (tm)!!! Thanks to you I am stoned at this very moment.

So feed in the same water of nutes but add the calmag 1st then the nutes?

Rept'-- Hairymate has you covered I think! ... I often see plants in here from Biobizz users, usually with simple lack-of type defc.'s,... this looks mixed to me,.. the lowers are lokking N tapped, some of which is normal at this stage,.. upper leaves show possible early P defc., and the purple petioles hint further at this as well,.. P defc. can present more atypically with this upper color fade, margins inward usually,... up you dosage as recommended, and doing a foliar is still OK at this stage if you aim carefully to avoid soaking the buds,... you'll need a wetting agent to help it coat and stick better; spray bottoms of leaves in particular, more stomata there; do it during light hours with plenty of time for her to dry out,....

Exactly. If you need to step up the cal-mag, make a new batch of nutes with more of what you need, vs adding calmag directly to the res.

So do i just need to up her feed? Will that rectify the problem? I fed her last night something like 8ml bloom/ 7ml grow, 4ml topmax with 2 ltr water.. seemed to love it so far, foliar fed my other girl yesterday aswell thats ALWAYS sad and it helped her perk up! Have calmag getting delivered today hopefully.

Correcting a deficiency/PH issue in a plant is like steering a large boat. You're not going to see results as soon as you turn the wheel, and it's going to take a minute for it to correct course. Overnight is not enough time to see results. Also, anything that has already turned on the plant will not turn back. It's frustrating waiting to see results, but the most common thing we do is love them to death. Wait a minute for results before trying something new.

Something I do with every grow is mix in some dolomite lime before planting in the pot. Hell, I put dolomite lime in my breakfast cereal. DM really helps with cal/mag issues and PH problems. I'm lazy, so I look for lazy and effective solutions.

Hi pal,,, them leaves ain't going to suddenly start to look better ,,,hopefully the upped feeds will arrest further discoloration, all ways remember you growing buds not leaves

So all your wanting to do at this point is nurse her home to harvest , it's not ideal and we would all like a perfect looking plant but that's how it is ,,, great advice @OregonBlackBear

Killing off plants by accident is also one of the best ways to learn! If things go sour, just try to treat it as a learning experience. My friends call me a plant whisperer, but the plants see me as a bumbling mass murderer.

It also really helps to keep notes on when you fed, what, how much, ect. This way you can go back and say things like "Ah HA! Human urine is not a good fertilizer!" That's me, ten years ago. True story

Appreciate that mate. I understand everythings a learning curve, i just can't justify paying electric for a 400w hps for 3months and nothing to show for it haha but i get you, i need to fuck up to learn. Ita not life or death though is it? Theyll pull through you reckon?
