I'm Dealing with an issue with my plants. Their in the 2 The other day I went out and looked at them and they started looking like they were getting Cal Meg Deficiency. So I gave them 1 tsp per gallon.

My feeding schedule is 2 waterings with nuts. I'm using (tiger bloom booster. 2 tsp per gallon. And then I do a watering with just ph water at 6.5.
I always check my ph after i put nuts in water.

What kind of nuts? Peanuts, walnuts, water chestnuts?

I was thinking it could be possibly nutrient burn due to me feeding them twice with the tiger bloom.
Because they started showing the problems after I feed them.
What do you think?

Short answer - Stop the damn CALMAG. More crap has been happening lately with calcium overuse ….. it is already in both your tiger bloom and water. Calcium excess skews the uptake of other elements because of antagonism . Even if your PH is in plants range the calcium will knock uptake.
One always affects the other.

Also …. Don’t necessarily take the bottles label or feed schedule as gospel. FF feed charts are too high for most home grows.
Start at half dosage …. Monitor response and adjust.

They just look a little burnt. Overdoing it with the grow big I’m gathering. You need Foxfarms “Big bloom” to go along with that tiger bloom. Shouldn’t need to add calcium.
Maybe some epsom for magnesium supplement, but only when needed. Your plants don’t look horrible. I wouldn’t overthink things, but do take the advice with the big bloom if you’re using tiger bloom. I’d get 2 bottles, or at least a larger bottle. It goes faster than the grow big, and tiger bloom.
I’ve use them. On my 3rd bottle of big bloom.. haven’t gone thru half the other 2 bottles yet. It’s pretty concentrated. 50-75% of the directions is as far as I go.

I was told to just water with no nuts at the ph of 6.5 for the next 4 waterings. Do you think I should do what the ole man told me to do? I do have fox farms big bloom. But can I add big bloom together with the tiger bloom when I mix up my next batch of heat? Also when I feed them yesterday with just plain water with the ph at 6.5 I had checked the run off and it was at 5.5. So I added 4 teaspoon of lime to my 5 gallon grow buckets because I was told that the lime would help with keeping my ph regulated at 7.0.
What do you think on this ?

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, imo.

Don't feed it anything, just water and observe for at least 2 weeks.

It takes a good amount of time to visually see recovery and, do yourself a favor and remove the damaged fans so you don't mistake them for new damage.

Remember to keep it simple. The more you micro manage and try to give it xyx based on looking at it is a 'recipe for disaster'.

Thanks for the response. I will most definitely do what you think because I'm at the bitter end of ideas.

Small steps. Don't dump a bunch of nutes into the soil. Do a lil of one and see what it does first, then depending on what it does, move on to another. It seems daunting, but it gets easier.
