Yeah I thought that's what cal-mag was. Ca and mg . Nitro cal-mag?
calmag dolomite lime ( calcium and magnesium carbonate) and initially ammonium carbonate ( cationic nitrogen NH4) . it was never meant as a feed it was meant to precondition coco and then never be used again but then the NH4 was replaced with NO3 anionic N usually from calcium nitrate and people started using it as a feed because of nutrient lacking ine part feeds

Yes, i concur with the mag deficiency. Needs a lot of calmag. Red stems, leaves pulling sideways as they grow out... What you see now started a week ago. Also, the right amount of light can easily become too much light when plant health degrades. Otherwise, they look good. Cheers
a normal ppm of magnesium in a solution is around 50 ppm . so if magnesium sulphate Is 10% magnesium then that is 0.5 g/liter magnesium sulphate

Ok thanks, I used a pinch of epsom salts dissolved in the water. 1 plant recovered immediately. I scratched in a teaspoon of superthrive granules that also contain iron and the other plant is starting to green back up too. I believe epsom salts are magnesium sulfate,so guess I chose correctly. Like I said, I learn something every day

The soil was so depleted. I found out that this strain is normally vegged 5-6 weeks and switched 12-12 and flowers in 8 weeks. I didn't know so I've been stalling cause of the autos.

I will feed more as she greens up. I don't want to make sudden moves with this strain. I wish I knew the genetics. It was fucking fire but very picky to grow compared to everything else I've grown

Well the results are in. Both plants are doing a lot better. I defoliated them a lot this morning and I noticed that all the new growth is green again. Epsom salts,teaspoon of superthrive granules top dressed and things look a lot better. Thanks growmies, y'all helped and saved me money
