After a week getting worse.

[Tomtuggle]

So I posted some pictures about a week ago. Was told it's a calcium def. So I used Ro distilled water with cal-mag and foliar fed it at 6.35

Was told that I overflushed so I gave it ro'd water with its weekly cutting edge formula with cal mag.Ph'd at 6.3 View attachment 3833748 Seems like it's getting worse.

What type of soil ? Fox Farm, Miracle Grow, potting soil ?

 

[FunnyFarm717]

Ya it's pretty much all of them. The more in the light the worse. But all of them for the most part

Did you check using magnification? They will be on the underside of the leaves.
The best way to spot mites is turn off all the lights and use a bright flashlight to look for webbing low on the plant. Usually around the meristem.
You may actually have two unrelated problems.

Yes. I have a loupe and microscope. Seen nothing.

That's great! The speckled leaves look very similar to severe mite damage.
But now that I think about it, the spots from mite damage are usually white, not yellow.

Ya I first thought bugs. But I constantly check my plants for mites.

im just being an idiot. But at the same time learning more everyday. Were you using RO water before? Reason Im asking is when u switched to RO water with the CalMag did you double up the dose of CalMag when you switched?

looks like foliar burn....are you spraying with the lights on? the light will burn the plant

No I was using tap. My tap came out at around 5.9 with nutes and all. Then all of a sudden my tap was at 8.5 so I switched to ro distilled water. A week ago I did the change

Yes, I thought calmag was safe for lights.

it's the water drops that act like little magnifying glasses...strong light and water drops = that
