Hey there, hope all is well with ya.
I was thinking my problems were PH and/or calmag, possibly iron deficiency. This is my third time flowering. I did several experiments this time around. Tried some 12/12 from seed and all sorts of soil ratios of fox farm, happy frog and perlite. I even tried reusing soil by mixing in like 30% with new stuff. I had been using straight tap water using vineger to PH down. Learned that was probably part of my problem so this week switched to buying 5 gallon jugs of allegedly RO water from Walmart for 39 cents a gallon. It's gotta be better than what comes out of my sink. I won't even cook with that water, it's bad where I live. I never really noticed until I started paying attention. Anyway I've been reading and I've tried adding a small dose of calmag. In hindsight I should have waited to flush out all the crap from my crappy tap water and went from there, but woulda coulda shoulda. So far, I've rarely used nutes, I have fox farm nutes but I use it very lightly cause fox farm soil is a little hot. I've had plants that turned out well enough using little nutes. Anyway, I'm thinking this might be TMV? I have about 8 plants and others that are doing well, so I don't know. Light is roughly 436 watts blurple vipraspectra, temps and humidity hover around 70-80 degrees and 30-50%. The genetics are unknown due to being random bag seed. I practice heavy HST, LST and supercropping up until about 2 weeks inin flower sometimes if it stretches. I mainly just try to keep a full layer of colas all on the same level. Back to topic, I'm at loss, could it be root rot cause I used old soil? I don't think it's an issue of over/underwatering. Thanks to anyone that has some advice!
