Its a 15 dollar bottle that will benefit your grow even if I'm wrong but I think I'm right. You can't lose.

Yes I use tap water its 0.2-0.4 ec I let it sit for 24-48 hours before I use it.
I'm use 1.5ml per litre of a+b =1.2 ec including that of tap water then top up with 0.1 ml amino per litre and same with root accelerator to get an ec of 1.4-1.6 I'm using 600w hps light temps are 26°c-28°c (50%rh) day time-16°c-18°C(70%-80%rh) night time .
I did ad calmag through a foiler feed about five days ago and says to apply once weekly
If you removed those leaves from the bottom of your plants there is nothing wrong with your plants. Running 600W HPS, at the height and fullness of canopy you are at you aren't getting penetration to the bottom. Your plants look fine to me.

I prefer to pour the magnesium through them as opposed to foliar feed because I usually smoke my plants. But in veg it really doesn't matter. How do you plan to flower them?

One last thing smell your water after sitting for 24 hours. If it smells like chlorine you have chloramines and you really shouldn't be watering with that and stop obsessing over your plants they look good.

If those leaves did not come from the bottom of your plant. Wait for more leaves to show symptoms and before pulling them take good pictures of your plant in normal lighting so we can see where the problem came from as that is important information.

With cannabis less is more.

I meant do you have a brighter light. If you are flowering under that 600 you may wish to start soon. You are going to need to clean up their skirts. I flower under 1000W HPS and I have to be careful not to let them get to tall. Essentially I remove everything under 18" and any side suckers. I leave between 1-4 colas for flowering. I do this at 2 weeks in since it's ending it's stretch and I can easily pull clones as I trim up. I shoot for no taller than 4' to 5' at the end of stretch.

Yes I'm going to repot tomorrow then start flowering the day after that and yes I'm going to flower under the 600w but its a digital so will boost it to 660w when its in flower

I run under 1000 and that still won't give me complete penetration hence lollipop. I also take it down to 4 main colas because I dislike larf. I wouldn't shorten my bulb's life by running it hot unless it's a 1000 HPS bulb and was made to run over 600. Anyway there's lots of different ways to grow so whatever you do you'll probably finish fine.

I look forward to seeing how they do.

Your girls look a little short on Mg. I would continue doing what you've noted above until you determine if you're on the right track. I would avoid the HPK at the moment...not that it's bad stuff, but it's more used as a bloom booster. If the discolored leaves come back, as noted above, take pics before you pluck them off the plant. Good luck.

Has anyone else got any ideas what it mite be or does anyone else agree with Mr.clays on the zinc deficiency i would appreciate anyone's input and advise on the matter thanks!!
When i grow in coco with canna nutients i find the nutes to be very stable, pretty much whenever i have an issue with nutrients i flush and then hit them with full strength, 40ml even 50ml per 10l if i think it needs it.
Literally 90% of the issues i encounter regarding nutes in coco using canna coco a and b are resolved this way.
I dont find i need seperate additives, that is a skill all on its own.
I keep it simple a and b, boost, pk 13/14 when the time is right, sometimes i give them wee bit pk13/14 whole way through flowering if i think plants would benefit.
However i am kinda stuck in my old ways, just the way i prefer to do it.

Thanks for commenting buddy things seem to be getting better. Well there's no more problems with new growth that i can see so hopefully the problem has been fixed. Don't think it's going to bad for my first grow will upload some pics in few days.
