Please help. New grower here

First grow ever? You're doing great, I think, but then i'm too chicken to grow, so don't mind me.

Got it, sorry I misunderstood. I’d still cut back the nutrients and maybe 1/2 strength or plain water for the next watering. The damaged leaves won’t look better, watch the new growth.


Doughper- don’t be chicken homie, jump in. So you kill some plants everybody has.

If that was all there was to be worried about, i'd be growing large. I love the idea of it.
It's why i'm such an avid follower here at RIU. I'd love to try growing some of the stuff i see in here. wow

I’m the one that caused the confusion lol. Thank you for the advice.

Get your PH too 6.5. Should solve the deficiency. If not, ad worm castings to bring the PH up.
Also to protect the roots from root burn and promote healthy root growth by adding cinnamon.
Cinnamon, worm castings can be added to water.
Next time when you do a new grow, learn creating your own soil.
Saves you allot of problems.

No need to Ph water when growing in soil. Just saying.

I'm on my fourth grow indoors in pots. Finally I'm getting great results. My biggest mistake was taking good soil and adding a bunch of inputs based on yellowing leaves or slow growth Rather than finding out exactly what was in the soil to begin with. I posted pictures and was told to get a PH meter and my plants need calmag. Bla Bla Bla. If Frank Zappa were alive today and commenting on my First grow here is what I think he would say:
If your grow turned out to be shitty and low yielding crap because you got stoned and watched a bunch of assholes on YouTube and got advice from a bunch of clowns on some forum, You Deserve It! I'm just talking about me. Carry on.

Grow, your plants are in flower so light and plain water 6 to 6.2. Time to just let 'em shine.

I’m attaching some updated pics from today and yesterday. Am I seeing potassium deficiency or just overall nute deficiency or burn? I’m feeding maxi grow at 1.5 small scoops (tbsp) per gal with 1 tsp of cal/mag per gal. Followed by plain water with same amount of cal/mag. I water to about 15ish % runoff. Please advise as I’m just past week 8 and don’t want to lose/harm my grow.

Why are you adding extra Calmag in your watering / feeds ?

Both Maxigrow and Maxibloom have calcium / mag and so does your city water.

Excessive calcium use leads to antagonism between elements and will cause issues. For anyone they may not know - Maxibloom can carry a grow from start to finish even without the maxigrow.

I am leaning into the excess calmag as your problem.
Plus a little inner pruning wouldn’t kill ya.

Cause I was told her that it was needed and read that it can’t hurt. I was planning on regular water again then 1/2 dosages on nutes.

I used cinnamon to deal with a minor fungus gnat issue. It worked wonders
