Should I be concerned?

[Midn8Toker]

Overall plants seem to be doing pretty well. This is my first grow. I'm feeding a pretty cheap and simple regiment of dyna gro. Started them on 1/4 tsp of foliage pro, 9-3-6 with every watering (once every 3-5 days based on feel/dryness of the soil) and then balancing pH to 6.0-6.5 Since the switch to 12/12 been giving them 1/4 tsp of mag pro, 2-15-4 (again every 3-5 days). I'm sure there's a crap load of micro (and probably some macro) nutes they're not getting. Today is day 25 since the switch to 12/12. Up till now there's been no problems but a few leaves are starting to worry me. Is this normal? Nutes or pH too high/low? Nothing to worry about (fingers crossed lol)?

Hey mate, going well, maybe just back off the nutes a little if your getting tip burn.
Looks like they need more flowering nutes, more P and K... After you sort the first prob out....

Seems you have invested a good amount in a tent and lights and I see a fan and humidifier/dehumidifier plus time . So why not spend the extra bucks and use the complete nutrition line? They need all that stuff to thrive.

Any suggestions on what to get?

Good looking setup & plants man! I would have to agree with @MidnightMann.
The ladies are light in colour and are definitely lacking something, i'm not sure what though it could be so many things.

Kinda looks like the calcium deficiency I had my first grow.

I use Fox Farm Trio. Big Bloom an organic fertilizer you use throughout the grow. Grow big for veg. and Tiger Bloom for flower.

Your plants look normal to me. The fan leaves are a lighter color because they are flowering. The plant will draw nutrients from the leaves to develop the buds. Most of the fan leaves will dry up and fall off.

Have to disagree. At this early dtage of flowering there's no way the leaves should be providing nutrients to the bud sites. Those leaves should be green all the way through

You using 1/4 tsp per how much water? Using both foliage pro and mag pro now or just the mag pro?

1/4 tsp per Gallon. Typically give them each a gallon every watering. Stopped using foliage pro, only feeding mag pro.

What kind of soil are you using there?

Maybe the plants didn't get enough nitrogen when they were in veg (we can't tell we have no pictures). But it's too late now. Now Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom should be used.

I only grow auto's. And I skip the Grow Big (higher ratio nitrogen fertilizer) unless I notice the plant is a lighter green than normal in veg only.

Sounds like Lucas formula with fox farm

Their all pretty much the same. I asked the guy at the hydro store if I should be using anything else. He said Fox Farm is as good as any. You don't want to spend too much.

I have to replace the Big Bloom almost every grow but the other 2 last forever. Starting to get somewhat low on Tiger Bloom after about six grows.

 

[Midn8Toker]

What kind of soil are you using there?

It's a four part mix. I used basic potting soil with the lowest analysis I could find 0-.05-0 maybe? Can't remember brand. Then added coco, sphagnum, and perlite. 2 parts soil, 1 part coco, 1 part sphagnum, and a healthy dash of perlite.

Was spending a small fortune on pot before I started growing. I'm not very frugal with my nutes lol.

You need to use the Foliage Pro as well as it has all the micros etc. Magpro is a supplement only... I am using the full line, protekt, foliage pro, bloom and magpro. Anyways in your case I would bring back the foliage pro at 1/2 tsp plus maybe a 1/4 tsp of magpro per gallon for a few watering cycles and see how that goes.

 

[Grassmaster]

I forgot. I also use Cal Mag. As I use RO water and COB's.

1/2 tsp of foliage pro?? I wasn't even using that much in veg. Should I have been? It's twice what's recommended. They won't lockout?

1/4 tsp is the maintenance dose I believe. You're looking for a vigorous growth dose at this point. If you look at the hydroponic production dose it's 2-3 tsp per Gallon. I know your not really hydro but I doubt there is much nutes in your soil itself so you're essentially a soiless mix. My feed is a little different because I am using the bloom and protekt. You could try 1/4 tsp of foliage pro and 1/4 tsp of mag pro for a start.
