Deficiencies since flower. Tried several remedies

Started with just 1 plant during early flower. Thought was cal-mag related. Fed cal mag… no change. Ph in soil is 6.8 to 7
0…tried feeding her more (gaia green 2-8 4 powerbloom) no change. Tried giving her some gypsum (soil somewhat compacted), no change. I give up. Its forever deficient.

Info -
3 gallon fabric pots, happy frog soil
Gaia green amendments 4-4-4/2-8-4
Tap water left out over night 175ppm /7.0ph
Led lights - 800 par 18/6 cycles
3x3

How bad will this crap effect the buds?





Full plant photo.

Has it progressively gotten worse or the leaves won’t change? I don’t think they recover from that type of damage, just indicate what’s wrong.

Its progressively gotten worse. Originally it was just 1 plant on the lower leaves. Now its on upper leaves and a 2nd plant now showing the same thing. :tired_face:

Perlite is much better to prevent compaction. All gypsum addresses is clumping.

Not at all if corrected soon.

It looks like a pH problem. What is your runoff pH?

I usually don’t water until the runoff because it’s organically fed. Plus, I’m using the AC Infinity water bases. The only time I water from the top is when I top dress. I’ll hand water a few times and then the bases take over. I do have a digital soil meter, and it shows 6.8 to 7.0, but I’m not sure how accurate those things are to begin with. Its just a 20 dollar meter from amazon.

Got it. Organic is a different story and I have no organic experience. There are a few organic growers around. Let’s see what they have to say.

I appreciate the reply! I too thought it might be PH related. Ill do a slurry test after work and check. But im almost certain the ph is around 6.5 - 7.0. Its new soil for this grow and all ive done was top dress and given it 7.0 ph’d water. (I have a seperate ph meter from vivosun to check ph in my water)

@OGIncognito Thanks for the tag.
@Maurice87 I’m not an organic grower, or use the setup you use, but I see a cal. def. I personally would flush and give it some cal mag. Just my 2cents. Good luck :v:
