Plant Problem! New Grower!

[assulin]

Thanks a lot for the useful info!
There's no way i can get a Ca,Mg supplement here,i checked all the grow shop's websites and they don't have any.
I can only find Epsom Salts,I hope i dont get a Ca deficiency :/

Oh man :/ some source of Cal and Mag is just about mandatory for autos and especially if you're under leds. Hmmm, some other roundabout options : Yeah the epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) will halfway well cover your Mag, so you'll have to search for some Cal. Some natural sources are: gypsum rock powder (calcium sulfate), bone meal (powdered preferably), lots and lots of eggshells but they have to be very well cleaned and there's some trick to crushing them up and halfway cooking them on the stove, dunno exactly... There's some calcium in molasses (also known as treacle) but it's not a lot and gotta be the unsulfured kind.

Yeah it sucks that they don't have a complete Ca Mag supplement,tomorrow i'll go to the store and ask there what they would recommend.
I'll update here with what i'm going to use.
Thanks a lot for your time and then help!

Hey guys,this morning i checked on my plants and the TD's top leaves are a little droopy.

Not too bad i guess but it wasnt like that the last days.What could it be?
I'm going to the store soon to check on suplpements
Thanks!

edit: so i just got back from the store and i got epsom salts as they didnt have any cal mag supplement.
can anyone tell me how to use it? i use 5 gallon pots soil.
thanks!

For epsom salts I use about 1 - 2 teaspoons / gallon every other watering. Works for me but someone else may differ.

cheers, eP.

Hey!
She looks OK, did she just wake up? My girls look a bit droopy when they first wake up. eP is right on with the dosage, start at the lower end and see how they respond.

I'd say slightly underfed and slightly overwatered, but that's just me! :Sharing One:

 

[assulin]

Thanks for the replies!
No she didnt just wake up,that was on the last hours of lights on.
OK so i'll wait for them to go dry and then i'll water with more nutes and epsom salts

 

[assulin]

another question:
can i mix the epsom salts and the nutrients on the same bottle and water normally?
thanks!

Yes, you can. Check your pH after mixing, and adjust if needed.
