1st Grow Question

[AdkSmoker]

I just started my first grow, and my Daquiri Lime is showing a deficiency.
I’m not great at identifying issues yet, and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

A few questions that will help with diagnosis: What media are you growing in? What nutes are you using? What brand/type of lights/wattage and how long are you running them. Photos or autos? Container size? Are you adjusting the PH of the water after adding the nutes?

It's a Cal/Mag issue, specifically calcium. But also looks like she needs a bit more nitrogen as well.

 

[Emilya Green]

calcium is not mobile within the plant so when it presents, it is in the new and upper growth that is needing it. This does look like magnesium however, that usually starts out low and then pops up all over the plant because it is semi mobile in the plant. I would like to see @Phytoplankton 's answers before diagnosing though.

Looks pretty good, though the speckled appearance made me take a closer look...
As above CaMg & up the feed a little would be my suggestion, she should go wild in that pot

Hello,
I’m in soil, using the FF Trio.
Light is an Ionboard S33 Full Spectrum LED by AC Infinity (240w) on an 18/6 schedule.
Auto in a 3 gal. Fabric pot.
I Add my nutes and PH to 6.5

Sounds like a good set-up, I think @Emilya and @Growings are on point with a minor mag deficiency and up the nutes to whatever the Fox Farm feeding schedule says. You could give them a spray with Epsom salts, or add cal-mag, Bush Doctor is the Fox Farms brand. For a foliar spray 1Tbs Epsom salt to 5 liters of water.

 

[Emilya Green]

Your pH is too high being adjusted to 6.5 pH. Adjust instead to the low end of the pH range for soil, at around 6.2-6.3 pH. This will allow better access to the magnesium that is being supplied and it may take care of the problem without adding anything extra. I don't think I can recommend adding any supplements until this has been tried.

Good morning @AdkSmoker hope you are well my friend.
Welcome to 420magazine
Sorry about your lady.
Looks like the team is fixing you up.
Just a little tip.
The most valuable real-estate in your tent is the pots.
You only half filled your pot.
That's space your roots will need.
Fill them up and hump up the center for better water flow to the outside.
In my Gorilla Glue clone thread there is a pictorial on how to fill pots properly if your interested.
Also if you want to say hi and meet everyone here is a thread.

Thank you for the insight. I’ll incorporate the changes and see what happens. I’ll be sure to give an update.

Thank you! I’ll give your recommendations a shot.

I am well, Thanks Bill!
I will definitely try everything that has been suggested. And I’m interested in reading up on information here. Thank you for the tip for mounding the soil.
