I highly doubt it's a mag def then.
liquid karma has Epsom in it, and BSM does also.
I'd be REALLY careful here.....

Uhhh, ok.
SO what about the Epsom that is already in his liquid karma?
or the magnesium that's already in the molasses?

so true...
it's always ph or cal/mag...
ironically I have seen about every other problem, beside those two.
more often than not it's "too much"
water, nutrients, attention, ph adjusting, etc,etc.

yep always those main things ESPECIALLY with chemical growers.. overwater.. ph is off... over feeding and i see low oxygen issues a lot in grows.. people mistake that shit for deficiency all the time. but honestly thats one reason why i just started coming back to boards i get so many people i sell soil to that gets bad advice off boards... it ERKS me..
