Hello RIU
Lately I've noticed small brown blotches on a few leaves, and little white blotches on about a third of my leaves with small bite like holes on some others. At first I was convinced it was a spidermite/thrip problem... but I've yet to notice any bugs, even after putting bunch of scotch tape strips in my box to see if I can catch any. After doing much research, I came across a possible cal/mag def. People were saying that it could be brought by using distilled water all the time (which I do), or temperatures getting too cold and humidity being high. During middle of second week through the third week, humidity at night time was going up to around 77%, and temps dropped to around 67F when lights were off. As of now, with lights on, temps go around 76-82F with around 40-50% humidity. Lights off I believe is around ~65F and 60% humidity?
My question is, I have some azamax, but I'm hesitant to use it so quickly. Should I make sure it's not a cal/mag prob first? I checked my soil ph, and it was around 6.5. But I've noticed some leaves start to curl upward and random deformations. I haven't done a proper flush all grow. Fed three times in its lifetime. (just over a month). Started to flower about a week ago. Another thing I'm worried about would be nute burn... B/c the last time I fed my plant I did 1/4 the recommendation. The new growth coming out on the tops, the tips of the leaves seem a little neon green ish... but once they grow out they seem fine o.o. No real yellow tips on my leaves... Whats going on! I was thinking of using 1/2 distilled and 1/2 48 hr tap next feeding. (Or should I hold on the feed)
Sorry if my thoughts seem jumbled... had to hit the herb to keep myself from freaking out.... Thanks in advance!
