Dyna-Gro and Hempy - Need Help - Pic and info inside!

Thanks everyone for looking and helping me out! I need some advice, as I don't want to make the problem worse!

Below are photos of 2 plants, both cuttings I took. They both rooted fine, but now they are having some slight issues. Both plants are always
PHed to 5.8 after adding nuts. I use tap water. I have a bluelab ppm meter, my tap water reads 0 before nutes. grown under LED, 40-60% humidity. perlite is epsoma organic perlite. Im using Dyna gro and bloom.

the larger plant:
on monday it received = 1tsp / gal gro

During the week this problem started, so i thought it was magnesium def. So yesterday the plant got 1tsp / gal gro, and 1/2 tsp /gal epsom salt. Today the problem looks the same, not worse, not better.

the smaller plant:
monday it got 1/2 tsp gro, yesterday i gave it 1/2 tsp gro and 1/4 epsom. This plant looks worse then it did in the beginning of the week. N deficiency maybe?

Any advice is much apprieciated! I don't want to make them worse!

That was way to much epsom salt! try just the grow at 5ml per gallon. Do you have any protecK ? those girls look like they are still recovering from the cloning. give the dynagro a little time to work for you before you start tweaking your nutes with epsom salt.


your tapwater reads 0???? really???
 
on my bluelab my tap water doesn't even register. I tested my bluelab at a friends house with well water, and it came up EC .4

im sure my tap water has some ppm in it, but i dont think that is the problem.

I have some protek on the way from dyna gro. also going to switch from gro to foliage pro as well (not because of this issue, just cause i wanna try it).

what kind of temps do you have going? sometimes cold temps can cause the red stems you have. also try frequent light waterings with your .6 ec nutes solution.
 


pics of the plants today







Ive had my card for about 2 yrs, been growing 1 yr now. I used to use GH products and got good results, but 7 bottles is too much. ive seen good results with dyna gro so I know i just need to learn how to use it better. I used to grow in my basement, but it was hard to control temp and smell in everything else
. Not to mention the fact that my fiance's family is over all the time, and they dont need to know. I had a 400w hps before, now I've switched to a homemade led panel and a cab. I usually have 2 plants flowering in that space.
 
HA I forgot and answer your question. 80-83 during lights on, 68-70 lights off

also i usually have the other led panel straight when i have flowering plants, but i can move them around easily

The plants are simply sucking the chlorphyll out of the old leaves to support new growth. N def or lockout.

Use calmag. Save the epsom for your bath.
 
I fed them some tap water and gro at .6 EC. they seemed to keep getting worse. fed them some distilled water and gro at .4 EC. they seem happy now. so apparently in the winter my tap water sucks. probably going to get an RO unit now. thanks guys for the help!

Be careful with the perlite ghanja brother, the shit is sharp and can cut your little plants stem in a blink if moved around carelessly ;)
Cover the top of the pots, you are at the bigining of a algae problem.
And I agree with lordjin, they are going n def. Res change, get rid of epsom, instead use cal mag, but only if a cal-mag problem develops.
BTW, Most of us in hydro use ro water.
 
cal mag or mag pro? im already using dyna grow products so im leaning towards mag pro. going to be using RO water from now on

Well, what I meant to say is, instead of Epsom use a cal-mag product. I've always been using cal- mag that's why I was mentioning cal mag.
Some say to add your cal-mag first to your ro water, bring it up to about 150ppm, and then add your nutes.
I add between 5-10ml (closer to 10) depending on how heavy I feed them, and obviously, how they look.
