Thanks again gents...sometimes somebody needs to kick the training wheels off for you, as happened here. The girls seem happy, except for those leaves which were damaged by the deficiency.

Well, I added the nutes as required to bring them up to the directions on the bottle, and the TDS is up to 1100 PPM. Again, I'm watching for any signs of unhappiness...am I flirting with disaster at that level of TDS? *edit: I used my backup TDS meter, and got 1100, so the older one (less...

Doesn't potassium deficiency typically start at the margin? It could be a number of things, since my nutrients appear to be very low as per the above. Will know more shortly.

Thanks for the "like"...the irony isn't lost on me. Though, I don't see the option, perhaps because my account is new or something? Anyway, the nutes are up, and I'm watching like a new mother for signs of stress...I'll post results here either way.

Well, I need me a "like" button. Thank you good sir...I'll take your advice and up the nutes immediately. Thank you!!!!

Maybe I'm not explaining it well. I've learned that when communicating in text it's best to get out in front of any potential miscommunication, so please know I'm not arguing with you, just trying to explain it better...I really do appreciate any and all feedback. Allow me to try to clarify...

Yeah, it's a fight to keep the temp down, despite my best efforts.

Yes, 224 PPM after adding nutrients, but please consider that I used distilled water, so the TDS is comprised completely of added nutrients. Is this still too low with that in mind? Re: the GH products, it's 5tsp (approximately 25 ml) each, equating to approximately 3/8 tsp/GA.

Thank you SheeshM! That's what I was thinking as well, also having just switched from tap water to distilled, I'm thinking that the amount of CaliMagic was not equivalent to the amount of Ca in tap water, thus depriving it of Ca. I'm going back to basics, swapping out the solution with tap...

First, I'm a noob. Not only to the hobby, but also to the board, so thank you all in advance. That said, experienced folks, please help this first timer! Sample was taken from older leaves. Spots on the leaves start as shiny spots, then turn yellow, then advance to this. It's not widespread...

Dear experienced folks, please help this first timer! Sampling was taken from oldest leaves. Spots on the leaves start as shiny spots, then turn yellow, then advance to this. It's not widespread by any means, but did start to see it on my other plant. Strain: Wedding Cake Auto Age: End of...
