Calcium deficiency

Billy Bob Snortin · Feb 13, 2020

I’m using GH flora series with botanical CalMag plus as well as other GH nutes. I’ve been in flower for about 4 weeks on NL autos. I appear to have a calcium deficiency. I’ve been adding calmag at 4ml per gallon and ph at 5.8 in coco. My runoff is around 6.0. I’m also not seeing many trichomes form. It’s been growing for 8 weeks and doesn’t seem close to being ready to harvest. The life cycle by the breeder was stated at 8 weeks. What’s going on. This is my first grow.

Picture are need to give you a proper diagnosis.
With autos you can expect 2-4weeks longer then the breeder listed.

Above poster is correct.
My 8 week autos took 11-12 weeks. Was 8-9 weeks from the time they started to flower...
How are your temps? They have trouble processing Ca below 72F.

Sorry about the late reply. I was in my dark cycle. Another detail is I’m using RO water because my tap is over 500 micro.

If you’re growing in coco it’s calmag deficiency. Also make sure your calmag isn’t locked out by catching your runoff and measuring it.

Does your water (before RO) have any significant sodium content?

Coco. Feed PH around 6.2 may help uptake of ca and mg, etc.

I feed 5.9 thru 6.3. Ec 1.6ish

Using enough calmag during veg before flipping to flower is key.
