I probably water too often although I don't use but 400 ml a watering. Last plant drank like a sailor but I've never grown an indica. It seems like doesn't need as much

Guess I'm going to let it dry out more and if that doesn't perk it up I'll try a little epsom salts. I never dump nutes on a plant. I'll wait until I see a need and then address it. So you guys think it don't look too bad? Should I just chill and see what a couple days brings?

Yes, i concur with the mag deficiency. Needs a lot of calmag. Red stems, leaves pulling sideways as they grow out... What you see now started a week ago. Also, the right amount of light can easily become too much light when plant health degrades. Otherwise, they look good. Cheers

ph must be good for anything else to work good in your growing medium, bad ph lock out nutes

Thanks for the info I didn't realize I could get ANY light meter app for free. I know it's not perfect but helped me immediately. The top of the plant at 30 inches reads a ppfd of about 460. At 12 inches it reads 985 dead center. Now the blurple light only getting 180 over my ww seedlings. They are praying. Gotta drop that light soon. probably drop the quantum board to 20 inches . .seems like I always wish I'd bought more light

The cannabis growers version of two-footitis.... Once you get your first boat, you all of a sudden need one two-foot bigger. Lol.
Anyway, I think you're on the right track with the epsom salts. That and maybe it's time for a larger container.
Good luck friend!

I have plants outside and near freezing at night and in shade during the day, they appear fine, just dont grow fast
fix ph and ec (if applicable) of the medium and your plants will be good

Wait you said it’s -40 out, niw it’s near freezing?
I think you being awake for 3 days straight surfing the forums has made you not think right.

Well I put epsom salts and just a sprinkle of mg in the water and 1 plant got better fast.. the other just a little. I have rearranged my space to maximize the light coverage. I'm think the indica plant may have another deficiency maybe iron? Btw the ww autos are doing well
there is no such thing as a calmag deficiency. calmag is 3 separate minerals. calcium which is immobile so it starts at the top and magnesium and nitrogen which are mobile so they start at the bottom
purple stems are normal. it is anthrocyanin the normal color of plants

Sorry that was my first post and I lacked specificity. I meant that I wondered if cal-mag would help. I chose epsom salts as I suspected a magnesium deficiency. On 1 plant it worked fast. The other.... We will see. I learn even when I fuck up.

Not really, depends on brand… my has Ca and Mg only

Yeah I thought that's what cal-mag was. Ca and mg . Nitro cal-mag?
use magnesium sulphate not calmag. magnesium sulphate is 10% mag not 2% of calmag
that still is a IMMOBILE mineral calcium and a MOBILE mineral magnesium. 2 separate elements and both start at opposite ends if the plant.
