Im asking becuase I found this leaf that looks just like this pic
View attachment 1618688
It's not AS BAD as this one in the pic is but it's right behind it.
So thats why I'm kicking this thought around that maybe it's not the right kind of cal mag. I cant remember but i swear I read something about there being cal mag derived from different things and one is more preferable... Cuz I can up the dose for sure but I want to make sure I should. Or I could get something else like epsom salt right?

OK I am adding my 2 cents. Bud honestly if that issue with the leaves is not spreading or causing damage which from the pics it looks like its just a blemish that is on some of the leafs. If this has been going on for sometime now but has not become a crisis with the plant it just might be one of those "things" that you cannot explain away. If you look closer at the pictures of the leafs all the spots are in line with the vein not all over the leaf like the pic with the cal def. Can you microscope that? Honestly you have great looking plants besides these small blemishes and normal yellowing of the lower leaves and it looks like you know what your doing so maybe sit back and enjoy your plants.

You can use dolomite lime or garden lime for a good source of Ca and Mg and slowly released. Epsom Salts for a good source of Mg and fast absorbed. Mmmm Sulfate of Potash, Magnesia which is medium absorption. Worm Castings (slow). Crabshell which is slow absorption. Earth Juice Mircoblast (VERY GOOD). There're many options

Sorry to butt in this conversation, but it really looks alot like my problem last grow, which was root bound and rotten. Same ffof. I thought it was everything else too, and harvested early before discovering the prob. Heres a picture of what it looked like, if i posted the link right. Its in my journal if I did it wrong.

I just tranferred those to 5 gal about 3 weeks bofore I started flowering. I pulled one of the OG (smaller ones, the one with yellowing leaves) out of the 2 gal that they are in and it still had a good amount of space, it seemed, for roots.

Calcium nitrate nag magnesium
Nitrate are good. Note the extra nitrogen you are feeding them via the calmag.

Are u storing ur PH pen in the 7.0 base fluid when not in use, and checking it to be 7.0 in the solution prior to checking ur nute soup. I think everyone here is thinking that ur running off a pump and rez, but ur doing like me, but only 1 gallon bucket as i am doin' a 4 gal.
Next run, pick up Humboldt Nutrients "Verde", it's like pure "N", brown looking soupy funk, but it is the bees knees. I run it every other water in Veg and the first couple weeks in Bloom, it give your plants enough N, to supply through the rest of bloom without the common yellowing cuz of N deficiency in bloom. Most bloom nutes have little or no N in them you u gotta get ur plants jacked up with it prior to getting ur buds nice and plump. To much N in bloom though will funk up ur buds so u gotta find that happy medium, thats why i blast em with N through Veg so they are nice and green when starting bud production.

Ya, CalMag plus helps a lot too. I run it every other watering, it's says to use like 1 tsp/gal, but i do 0.5tsp/gal.
Remember, you can always add more, but you can't add less.

I'm glad someone with 2,283 posts does the same as me, as i'm still in my first grow and learning a lot too. Gives me hope i'm going in the right direction. Thats why i like trying to give advice to other beginners, especially when it's backed by someone with a ton of exp. Thx
