Waxy/ shiny leaves

No. It is genetics. Some strains are green and waxy when mature. And I have a Bodhi Dragon Fruit with purple stems in the same soil as 9 other healthy green ones.View attachment 4670948

they are 3 weeks in veg with purple stems. I have the same strains in flower and they all have green stems.

If your running the same set up. Maybe a lucky bean. Don't worry until you have a sign of problems.

I’ve tried that. I tried to add 100ml to a 55 gallon drum and then I started seeing rust spots on leaves. I now add 1ml per gallon ( which is 55ml)

this again is a mag deff sign/symptom, early stages you can use more cal/mag {these two nutes go hand in hand when it comes to growing, the magnesium allows the plant to absorbe calcium}

I take clones off of the same plant, I never have seeds

I don’t understand. Adding more cal mag seem to cause issues. When I added 100ml when I was in flower, the leaves started to yellow and have black dots, almost resembling a banana lol

sorry that should read mag not cal/mag, i was saying you cant realy add too much mag if your sensible with its use

Got me. I have nothing. Thanks all for the food for thought.

Epsom salt.... if you just want more magnesium without more calcium.

Could really low humidity cause that?

I'm not sure I'd describe it as waxy but when plants are healthy and growing fast they take on a glossy/lush look that I associate with good health.

So I switched nutrients to dynagrow and the issue basically got resolved with a few leaves here and there they are glossy looking. I water every 3 hours now and I might even increase it to every 2 hours. Could this maybe help? I use hydroton as my medium but I wonder if feeding every 2 hours is too much
