After doing a lot of research and contemplating, I think I have some magnesium and calcium deficiencies showing up in my 8 plants. Purple stems, brown spots, yellowing of oldest leaves.
They are clones from the dispensary and I've had them for around 3 weeks. To be honest, some plants showed curled/yellowing leaves when I bought them - I didn't think much of it. (Super Noob Here and My 1st Grow)
Every watering has been done with my tap water (37ppm) + 1/4 to 3/4 strength nutes every other watering.
I decided to foliar spray them with GH CaliMagic (3/4 tsp a gallon) yesterday when they woke up.
My question is... do I need to be feeding them the GH CaliMagic when I water them as well? Or is just the foliar spray enough?
I don't want to overdo it and cause more harm then good.
Also, should I add some dolomite lime to the top layer of the soil to help balance the PH? I didn't know what it was when I started growing and didn't add any to my soil when I planted them lol.
The Soil PH is low (Around 6.0-6.2) - I think I fucked up and was watering them with too acidic of water? With the soil PH this low, I believe they won't properly absorb Magnesium and Calcium? Am I right?
Strains: (Dispensary Clones) Cheese, Purple Arrow, Mendo Afgoo, Girl Scout Cookies, Blueberry, and Maple Leaf.
Medium: 1 Gallon Smart Pot with 50% Fox Farms Ocean Forest / 50% Perlite
Lighting: 18/6 with 2 x Area 51 XGS-190 LEDs ~18-20" above canopy
Nutes: GH Flora Series - Have only fed 1/4 (220ppm) strength nutes about a week ago. Have given some 3/4 strength nutes.
Watering Schedule: Every 3-5 days - I wait until the pot feels lightweight and the soil is pretty much bone dry. My tap water is 37ppm.
Temps: 72-77 daytime / 64-70 night time
Humidity: 20-40%
Tent: 4x4 Tent
Ventilation: 160cfm exhaust and passive intake / two 6" fans in the corner
Here are some photos of the ladies. Please let me know what you think the best 'next step' should be.
Thanks everyone!!
