Can anyone help me with what the issue is here. I'm using the same water for both plants and only 1 has the issue.

2x4 tent
260 watt led
Coco coir 70/30
RO water
GH flora trio
Cal mag.

Last feeding was
5.5 ml micro
5.5 ml grow
7.5 ml bloom
2 ml calmag
PH 5.8
All per gal
The particularly unique painted yellowing patterns on the one plant looks like Mosaic virus. The other looks like nute burn but one kinda just looks thirsty

It's possible. Viruses do carry from infected moms pretty easily but I have heard genetics before as well. Also different strains are more susceptible to threats than others monitoring your plant sap PH will help you make sure your plants health is optimal and giving you the best chance when fighting off disease, pests, and environmental stress.

Are you using tap water because if you are the calmag is completely unnecessary and can in fact cause issues from too much calcium. There is plenty in the GH trio.

Calmag is not a required additive in most cases. If you're doing hydro with RO water then it may be needed. Other than that it is the most overused product there is.

Im sure you notice the trend on here...always "RO water with cal mag" when seeing issues. I use tap water with Maxibloom in Coco with zero added cal mag. No issues what so ever. The cal mag craze really screwed up alot of grows imo.

Yes I've noticed. In fact I've been quite vocal about it.

I run GH and push a Cal-mag from botanicare and the plants love it during veg!

Also I thought tap water was concerning because of the chloramines that are added to it.

The chloramine levels in tap water won't harm anything. At least it hasn't hurt the plants of millions of people that water their plants with tap water. I've been doing it for decades. The plants don't care about the chloramine.
