Cal Mag is also known as Dolomite, less expensive and way more likely to be carried by a garden centre.

Here's a very helpful chart that shows various deficiencies. .....hope it helps!

Would you say it looks like a cal mag problem ?

 

[Jigeyouth]

I couldn't find none on my journeys today so I will have to wait till Monday hopefully she will be ok

I'm not sure whether it's a Cal Mag problem because on that chart, nowhere does it combine the two. I have seen in the past when the tips are yellow on some plants it works out to be one of two things..... nutrient burn or a calcium magnesium deficiency. That being said, hopefully somebody can jump in before the weekend is over and point you in the absolute right direction, but Cal Mag is not that disruptive to your plants. I put Dolomite in my soil when I originally potted up to my three gallons.

 

[Guy Cavallero]

Buy dolomite at Lowes or Walmart. Dissolve a pinch or two in ur water.....that'll help.

Your soil looks like it has a lot of wood in it. That can lower the soil's ph- where nutrients like magnesium are locked out. Magnesium is locked out under ph 6.5. It's best to test your runoff to see where your soil is- then you can compensate next time you water.

I've just re potted it with just coco noir mixed with a little bit of fish blood and bone meal so no nutes per say and I don't have a Walmart etc here as I'm not in the states but on Monday I will have a look in a few shops on the way to work

 

[Jigeyouth]

And I will get a ph meter next week

I don't use any nut in my plants yet and I've tried putting my lights close to my plants and started seeing the outside ends of the legs start turning a light green while the middle of the leaf stays a healthy green

 

[Guy Cavallero]

It's CalMag. Not really nutrients like N-P-P, more like food for your soil. I've seen it comes in a "GO BOX", from General Hydroponics or as I stated before, just buy Dolomite in a granular form and augment your water with a pinch.

So calmag or dolomite would help rather then npk supplements?

 

[Guy Cavallero]

You can use your general nutritions like nitrogen phosphorus and potash once your plant is established and stops having those issues. What I am suggesting will actually help your soil.
