I was gonna say try watering with some epsom. I think you just ran into a lady that's a calmag whore lol. It's an issue you can run into when running testers or pheno hunting. I got some liquid cal from NFTG I water in when I really need it

I wasnt aware that cal/mag whores were prevelant among testers and new crosses. My Space Monkey #5 showed it a bit in its first hydroponic run.
i do have one more question though lol
Have you noticed if there is a cal/mag issue with ffof in general and their nutes. i use ffof with little to no nutes and it seems 2 or 3 plant are sufering from this issue.

You should be good then that's what mine is. The easiest way I found to use FFOF and I did it with various SIP's and fabric pots with success was water only through veg and then dry fert for flower, with the same dry fert mixed in before using the soil, and it's made by FF but has a lot of goodies in it my plants loved it and are loving it now. There's a specific recipe for use with FFOF and everything.

If you never ran a strain/pheno you won't know how she really likes to eat until at least one run. Most times we just gives testers and pheno hunt plants the same treatment and usually they will separate themselves on what they may like or not like etc.
Never used the nutes but OF I always made supersoil with it and added lime and epsom so never had that issue but I want to say they don't use much if any and they just started adding lime to it
