You have a mg def.
With the lilited info you provide, I can only tell you to supplement with Cal-mg @ 5-10ml/g

i have another question for you guys..

you say i hav a prob with mag def so if i raised the ph to 6.0 wud this sort the problem.?? im only asking because its only been in the last week and a half that ive had my ph higher than 5.6-5.7 ,its now 5.8 ans as mag isnt available at that range do you think thats why im experiancing the deficiency. on the chart i will post it shows mag is clearly available from a ph of roughly 5.87 - say 9.0. if the ph was raised to say 6.0 would this resolve the prob..

and thanx in advance to all that leave suggestion..

Yer both mag and calcium can be locked out by many things but dont know much for your situation as i only grow in soil, we use epsom salts which is pure magnesium and dissolves in water, your situation may be different but is definatly mag def. Try the pH then try a mag supplement. Need someone who can grow hydro to advise futher. Good luck dude

so what causes the deficiency= low ph ????
Yes, low PH will lock out Mg. Can also be caused by not having enough Mg in your base nutrient or the use of distilled or RO water. Also excessive potassium, calcium and phosphorous will make it difficult for plants to take up Mg.

You can try that. I'm still experimenting with pk13/14 at the moment so my opinion on it is limited. Thing is when I add it to my base nutrient it seems to keep the ph in check and stable quite nicely. How much of it have you been using?

Dudes a high p/k can lockout cal maybe mag, the calcium precipitates out of solution as it binds with the phosphorous, not sure if this is relevant though, i never use big flowering boosters though so never seen this happen. Peace

iv been using quite alot of pk , maybe 30-40ml in the 25litre each feed. my ph can be stable at times but does lower if unchecked for any length of time. today i will completely change the rez and i wont add the pk just to see if this makes any diff... maybe it will n maybe it wont but its worth a try...

thanx guys...
