I also use Calimagic (calmag)
Calmag I keep at 3mL / gallon always and pH is at 6.5 for peat based soiless mix.
For veg my mix comes to:
M = 7.33 mL / gal
G = 7.33 mL/ gal
B = 3.67 mL / gal
For first 1 week of 12/12
M = 8
G = 8
B = 8
Rest of flower (except last week)
M = 8
G = 7
B = 10
Last week
M = 8
G = 0
B = 10

there is soemthing called H3AD's formula for coco that's based on GH flora series.
6ml micro, 9 mL bloom and 1 gram of epsom salts per gallon.
i wouldn't start at full dose since your plants are in bad shape. maybe try that recipe in 3 gallons water (RO if possible)

Single point light sources throw a lot more light in more directions than led so penetration is better than your leds easily. I mean just google them sog with hps then with leds - no competition with the lower buds there dude

Yea but do they grow good quality bud?

I will let you know when I use one for more than just veg. lol I do have my doubts since they lack UV

Ive actually had issues recently with a few led growers where their lowers really sucked, is it that after a small amount of penetration all them 3watt diodes glued together just dont have the uniformity of power that they would if they combined to a single light point. Even the spread seems a bit less wide than a cmh or hps as any bud not under the light direct drops off as well.
Peeps can rave on led all they want but failing to keep plants short sure does show against your competitors

I'll put my 400w panel up against any 400 HID any day....
Ever chop 22 zips from a 400 HPS?
I doubt it.

Never argue with a fool, they will drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

Seems to bee a lot of de 1000w hps growers and more recently cmh growers that disagree for a start - led trolling again id assume.
And no you do not achieve more uniformity of light because it dosent combine or hold its spectrum as well - thats basic science you can google but avoid led wensites just staet with more science type who unlike you lot dont over hype everything.
Kg is presently laughing at a lot of you trolls on many subjects like led dry cure genetics latest strains thatyou trolled here like you were the big boys of this game.
There is an led section if you need to fill baseless assumptions with your light is the best - we more about learning and not egos here, you might notice we also get that done tganks

Leds been gettimg laughed at for years - still they struggle and you brought so much hype and lies here you may never be anything but the biggest tools of the whole site.
Plus we all know you paid well over the odds for those lights so basically snakeoil suckers

Dont be a noob dude - we quote veg time with yeilds as i could yeild even more with time.
Thats how you leds do it, omit facts to make yeilds bigger - us good growers see straight through the lies bro

wrong. diffuse light does that, not single point.

Lol dude really - its a 360 degree discharge placed under a reflector - its uniformity and spetrum strength are pretty much awesome - leds however overlap and create fluxes of light not to mention that low wattage will always struggle to hold spectrum over distance.
What happened recently is we looked at the science and found led lacking in many places ppfd to be one - so we simply trolled them off till they started acting like real growers not haters with some amazing product.
Now moving forward and i find many deficient in the dry and cure and like leds have followed some stupid science that is wrong and left them less so experienced against us crafting mofos who have been running our own business since way before this legal rubbish and led hype started up.
If you cant give realistic information then troll you will but assume most will troll the trolls out as basic facts now trump your ideology.
Good luck for the future - if you havent learnt by now your fucked pretty much
