Mars TS3000 4x4 SCROG Grow: Dr Seeds Genetics

[IamIndica]

Hello fellow growers I’m noticing some bright yellow tips on some of my top new growth...is this something I should be worried about?

 

[MrSauga]

The tips will be fine but it's those other leaves that are concerning. It's similar to a Zinc def but your medium pH is OK. If I was to guess you may have to balance the nutes out. Possibly too much P, Ca or both may be decreasing the availability of the Zinc.

Prob over feeding just a bit but nothing really major

 

[MrSauga]

Some pics in natural light will help as well.

My tap water is pretty hard...could this be contributing to the issue?
Also , I’ve never checked my ppm before in any grow and am kind of ignorant to the whole thing, should this be somthing I should start looking into more or is that more of a hydro worry?

 

[MrSauga]

Well hard water is water that has high mineral content and largely made up of calcium and magnesium carbonates, bicarbonates and sulfates. So maybe do an experiment and grab a couple of jugs of RO water for a feed or two and don't change anything else... keep the feed regime the same. If nothing changes then look at the nutes as the issue.

Well I use Megacrop and everything is by grams and I don't worry about PPM. I don't see any other issues with your plants to be concerned of checking your PPM numbers.

Ok I’ll grab some RO water tomorrow, and I haven’t given any nutes other than 1/2 strength CalMag on 2 occasions up until now

 

[MrSauga]

Had to change my post after re-reading what you wrote.

I would hold off on the calmag even with the RO test. Let the plant use up some of that excess.

^^ Fixed

Ok sounds good , plain ph’d RO water for the next watering . Thanks for your help once again!

Well folks it’s been a hectic few weeks but I’m back after my short hiatus For a quick update. The girls are finally starting to Recover from watering so long with the hard water.
My last 2 watering shave been with distilled water and some “Enzyme Komplete” added to help break down any build up.
Will post some updated pics tomorrow.

Here’s how we’re looking today. Tent has been steadily 60% RH and 82-84 degrees during lights on. Going to veg for another couple weeks and take some cuttings then flip to 12/12

 

[MrSauga]

Nice job Indi!

Looks great in there!

I have my filter in one corner and my fan in the other and my Exhale co2 bag above my fan to spread it out and less chance of it being sucked up by the filter.

Nice!!!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing the flowers.
