No i do not, just straight up coco coirDo you have any lime mixed in with your soil?
Yea i do, advanced nutrients micro grow and bloom, ph level is 5.5. I think i may not be feeding it enough. Since its started flowering i have not raised its nutrientsOkay, do you use nutrients made for hydroponics and is what your feeding pH adjusted between 5.5-6.0? What nutrients are you using and how.
Im sorry are u talking about just regular lime bought from the store? And squeezing it in? I dont have cal-mag and would prefer not to spend any money on itjust het a tbsp of lime and scratch it into the surface of your coco a few inches and water though i would reccomend using some calmag the next few waterings untill the lime breaks down a little bit, be careful if you happen to accidently use hydrated lime instead of dolomite do not follow my recipe it will over do it and i have no experience with anything other then doloite lime.
Oh woww, thanks, i had no idea! When i bought the soil from the hydro store they didnt even tell me i needed extra nutrients! Ok so i just buy the dolomite lime from any garden store and sprinkle some on top and water it in? How much should i put if i have a ten gallon pot?well growing in coco your going to have to address the fact that it does not release calcium and magnesium the way soil does, that's why there is specific nutrient lines made for coco and the difference is that they have calmag in them. A bag of dolomite lime from the store (not lime like lemons) look for dolomite lime pellitized garden section for 5-6 bucks and it will last you about a billion grows, no but really it would take 100's of gallons worth of coco to use all that lime at 1tbsp gallon of medium.
Fact is there is no way around needing cal and mag with coco even says so in the feeding chart that gh provides with there line hold on ill get one so i can give you the correct instructions. ok here goes: and i quote " When growing plants in coco media or with reverse osmosis water use 5ml of calimagic per gallon during the first two weeks" end quote,
Even then i use calmag through my grow till mid flower.
If you dont wanna do anything to fix it i promise you those plants will never produce anything but some scragly janky buds and nobody wants that so either cough up $7 bucks for a bag of the lime or 12-20 for any of the different calmag brands, botanicare, gh, go ,pretty much any nutrient place anywhere sells it

Okay i stand corrected my general organcs cal mag is 0-0-0 but as you posted there is some in botanicare. so if nitrogen is an issue just buy a brand without it.Derived from calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, and iron EDTA. There really aren't any other kinds of soluble calcium other than calcium nitrate for hydroponics. Another soluble alternative would be calcium chloride, but plants don't need chlorine.

i don't see a mag issue, just calcium.Do u think i have a mag deficiency too? I know i could use epsom salt or do u think the dolomite lime will take care of that?
