Sorry to dig up a old thread but I ordered seeds from herbies the vision NL 5 pack none germed at all 3 was cracked and the other two looked fine but did nothing! On the 2 "good" ones I tryed germing them with the paper towel and the old faithful way and dropped one in water both failed horribly! Did contact them and on the next order I place I get 8 free seeds so I guess that helps ease the pain lol still crushed my spirit a little but oh well hope this helps

I have 2 NL autos going right now, believe they are from sensi seeds (original northern light breeder) and they are amazing plants. Huge! Bigger then some past photoperiod plants. Very impressed.

Besides the nute burn, or pH problem, i cant figure out whats wrong with her. but its not affecting the buds and she looks great.

Shes at day 68 right now. I cant figure out whats wrong with her. Someone mentioned a calcium problem so i got calmag 2 weeks ago and it doesnt look like thats working. I use fox farm trio (big bloom, big grow, tiger bloom) only use the calmag and tiger bloom in this stage of the grow though. All nutes used at 100% for the entire grow. Its my first time using nutes and i only started having problems about 2.5 weeks ago. I really dont know whats wrong with her
 
There might be something in your nutes when mixing then together might be causing the problem. I tríe and stick with canna coco a+B and westland tomato grow sticks and they seem to be doing quite well on my 2 anesthesia . I'm gonna introduce the NL and black rose to the coco A+B and rhizotonic to help root development.

its calcium ........not much you can do now to be honest ... leaves dont repair themselves they just stop getting worse ..... next time you have the issue top dress some lime ( if your growing in soil ) lime takes time to get the ph right again 1-2 weeks is why im saying it would be futile to use it now the plant will be done by then .... you could adjust the PH of your water or pick up a couple bottles of RO ( ro has a ph of 5-6 ) and just water with that for the rest of the grow and that might straighten your PH out ..........
i always add extra lime even to bagged soil and then top dress a bit a month or so into the grow , if your PH gets to low it will lock out calcium and other nutrients but calcium makes the rust spots

it wont if your PH is off ....... if its to low or high then the plant cant absorb it
my pH has been low lately like 4.8... i was thinking of baking soda to raise it, its all i have in the house until i can get to the hydrostore for some pH up.

what do you think?

I've had the same problems running synthetic nutrients with my tap water. It can be a number of things, other nutrient can be to high causing lockout. Or it can be too much or too little calcium. As tek says you won't make them better... it sucks. I did the same thing went out and bought calmag thinking I could fix it. Now I have calmag sitting in my cab for no reason lol.

My advice is to use RO/Distilled water it cuts out the question of whats in your water already.

I'll use the distilled water from now on..I use fox farm's trio of nutes.. surely that cant be the problem though right? i mean tons of people use it .

you have to have your soil right before any nutes are used , are you adjusting your PH of your feed's after mixing the nutes in ?

in a perfect world you would mix your nutes then use PH up or down to get them in range

I use fox farm ocean forest, im not sure what the pH is of that. I will start mixing my nutes with distilled water then use pH up or down accordingly. I dont know if i have access to reverse osmosis water. Do they sell that anywhere?

ya they sell gallons of it at grocery stores just read the nutrition facts or usually its at the bottom of the label
