I've checked the bottom of the leafs and haven't seen anything alarming

Pests are very small. If you see one in action you will be taken back at the size of it before smashing it with all of ur might. Some even wait until u sleep to attack. Best to impliment IPM if ur plants look like that - just what I would do personally. Before switching my nutrients around.

Two-color photoionization of calcium using SHG and LED light

C. Schuck, F. Rohde, M. Almendros, M. Hennrich, J. Eschner
(Submitted on 19 Nov 2009)
We present a photoionization method to load single 40Ca ions in a linear Paul trap from an atomic beam. Neutral Ca I atoms are resonantly excited from the ground state to the intermediate 4s4p 1P_1-level using coherent 423nm radiation produced by single-pass second harmonic generation in a periodically poled KTiOPO_4 crystal pumped with an 120mW extended cavity diode laser. Ionization is then attained with a high-power light emitting diode imaged to the trap center, using an appropriately designed optical system composed of standard achromatic doublet lenses. The setup simplifies previous implementations at similar efficiency, and it hardly requires any maintenance at all."



From this i gather that light around the 420nm wavelength (420 lol) stimulates neutral calcium atoms and ionises them. Now some people buy an ioniser to get rid of the smell of their grows or to help at least. The ions are highly reactive so they bind to the molecules in the atmosphere that are creating the smell and make it undetectable.

Now i can remember that our LED lights use blue spectrum light between the 415nm-460nm range,maybe im a bit off there but its around that area. That light must be ionising the free calcium that is in the leafs of our plants! And when its ionised its gonna be highly reactive and connect itself onto any other atoms or molecules that are wiling to accept it i reckon. Hence the reason we need to keep giving our plants more calcium to replace the rest of it that was locked out of use by reacting with other stuff.

In natural light and other types of artificial lighting there is a more spread out spectrum of light being emmited and some of these other spectrums must produce the same effect in other atoms or molecules in such a way that it balances out the plants chemistry and counteracts the ionisation of calcium within the leafs.

Thanks for you're diligence! Thats some really in depth info. I think I agree to bump it up to 150 tds. Worst case scenario, I give it alittle burn, but correct the issue.

I have been meaning to add some neem oil but I was waiting untill they got alittle larger
I have a really good scope, maybe I can take a closer look

The new growth appears to be not happy. Your mix is off. Something is not playing well with others. You adding Si?
