FYI - you can use epsom salt to get nagnesium without the nitrogen or calcium. 1-2 grams per gallon
Yep I've been using epsom salt to get the nagnesium without adding more Ca, lol. Just kidding man, but I had to give you a hard time. I do use epsom though for real. My well water already has some Ca, plus so do a lot of the amendments I use.

Do you have enough phosphorous in the mix? Sometimes it also looks like a calcium deficiency due to how the two interact. Could be a root pH issue.

This is from an internet page but it saves a lot of typing:

<i>A phosphorus deficiency tends to be more common after plants start making buds in the flowering stage. Cannabis plants tend to love phosphorus in the flowering/budding stage and it is unlikely for a cannabis plant to get too much phosphorus using standard nutrients formulated for a flowering plant like cannabis. Nearly all flowering nutrients will come with an abundance of phosphorus for your plants. So if you’re seeing a cannabis phosphorus deficiency while using standard cannabis nutrients, chances are you actually have a root pH problem (explained below in the solution section)!</i>

I am most curious as to what your root zone pH is running. It would explain everything if you had a pH problem there. Runoff isn't reliable. I use the Blue Lab Soil pH pen https://www.amazon.com/Bluelab-Pensoilph-Soil-Tester-Pen/dp/B00CJIDFAS

That is what I consider my MVT (Most Valuable Tool).

Does everyone have the toolbar on the posting thingy all greyed out? I was able to use the manual tags but as we see the italic didn't even work manually anymore.

This is what mine looks like:

if it's wasn't for hard times I wouldn't have any time. lol all good man, I really think he has a root pH issue, the lime top dress is gonna make things interesting since it's slow release.
i added 5 teaspoons into the soil i did not top dress ive been phing to 6.5 with a liquid ph tester ive only been adding 1ml calmag+ 0.25ml of each 6 bio bizz nutes root juice bio bizz grow and bloom top max and heaven and alg a mac or somethink to 5 liters of water and i repoted to the pot there in about 2 to 3 weeks ago and since then i feed that mix and then next few days when was lighter feed again with same miz there also in bio bizz light miz soil but there so green do you think its maybe a really dark strain and it down yellow on low nitrogen its a black diafam autoflower i just watered with plain ro water do you think when the light come back on or take them out now and give them a good dose of nutes

I think I just figured out what nagnesium is, and I might be suffering from it too. I'm guessing that's when you have a fear of the wife or girlfriend nagging you to death, lol.

Ren, please don't nag your plants to death, lol.

How often do you have to cal that? I have always used drops......switched to a pen (cheap one) not entirely liking it. Feel like it needs to be cal'd every other week.

TBH I cal mine about once a month and if it's off it's only by a point or so. If you have a cheapo pen then it's gonna be a cheapo pen and need calibration often, so much so that they are cumbersome and not very trustworthy. Bluelab, Apera, those are good ones. If you keep it stored in the KCL solution it will last. If I was told I would only have one tool to grow with, it would be that bluelab soil pH pen. Measure liquids or soil/coco pH. I find that more problems are caused by having a medium pH go whack on you.

I was using Sunshine before they changed peat suppliers. Started a run with a new batch and the plants were all pissed. I knew the feed was good. Ended up being the new peat supplier they started using was giving them alkaline peat and the pH was up in the 8's.

I find that sometimes the mix will have a pH crash a few weeks into use, probably their buffer releasing or something but the pH drops into the low 5's or upper 4's and the plants get pissed. lol Using the soil pH meter lets you see exactly whats going on in there so you can adjust your feed pH accordingly.

I also have an Apera with the spear probe and it's awesome too, reads a little faster and super accurate. It is however expensive and doesn't get as deep into the soil so the bluelab is the way to go IMO.

It's not a bad deal, I enjoy it.
There's a poor soul on her that's in his 30's and has only had sex 3 times in his life, with the same girl, and I guess she's not around anymore. I told him sometimes you need to lower your standards just to get laid and build confidence for the hotties, lol. Poor guy. I couldn't imagine. I would have carpal tunnel, lol.

I can say that if he lowers his standards he shouldn't do it in public. Best way to get a hottie is be seen with a hottie. Then the other hotties all start thinking, hmmm, she must be with him for something... either dick or wallet... sometimes they just compete to try and steal each others man, I don't know if they do it on purpose or if it's just their nature. I was at this one bar a lot for a few months and some of the hotter chicks there didn't ever really want anything to do with me. I started dating this real fox and took her in there a lot for a few months... after that all those same girls suddenly had interest. was funny how that worked.
