Alright crew I need some help with what I am guessing is a nute burn and or other deficiency. I am going to post a water schedule for the past couple weeks and hopefully with the pics it will help you guys figure out how to fix this before it kills my plants.
8/12 6.2 ph h2o only
8/14 6.3 ph h20 only
8/17 1/2 grow+calmag
8/21 6.4 +full strength calmag
8/23 6.7+1/2 str calmag
8/27 6.4 h2o only
8/30 full str grow+calmag@ 6.4ph
9/2 f/s calmag@6.3ph
9/5 6.4 ph 1/2 str cal mag
9/7 6.9ph+h/s grow
9/13 f/s calmag
9/15 f/s grow+f/s calmag@6.3 ph
Grow fert is by RAW and is 7-4-5, CalMag is by True and is listed as 4.5-0-0
The leaves were showing minor nute burn about 2 weeks ago and have gotten worse. I am using RO water thus the added CalMag.
Lights are 2 300 watt advertised LED's
Plants are in soil with about 30% perlite added and were first germinated on 7/20, temps have been good 68-76 and RH has been 42-60.
Strain is Borderline XTRM and a GSC and a Liberty Haze. Borderline plants look the worst but all are showing the same signs to some extent. Thank all of you that offer help and advice, it is my second grow but the first with store bought seeds.
Edit: I just flushed my Liberty Haze with 1 gallon of ro PH'ed to 6.5 and it had 1/4 strength grow nutes in it. The runoff came out at 5.6PH which I really don't understand. I have never watered with anything lower than 6.2 and I would say the average is 6.3.How the #$%%^&% is my runoff 5.6??? I will watch and see how it does as it looks like the leaves are really pale green, some bottom and older leaves yellowing and then they get bad brown spots and die off. I am guessing it is because of PH locking out some nutes she needs but how can I get the PH in the root zone up to where it needs to be? I have probably 1 1/2 to 2 months of veg left with these 5 little plants as my flower tent is all full up and these need to wait their turn. I need to get these babies healthy and learn how to regulate the root zone PH more consistently. I probably need to transplant them into bigger pots to help with the root bound issue but then I need to toss a couple out since there is just not enough room. My timing on this grow has been crap and I will chalk it up to a learning experience. But for know HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP
