Im 3 weeks into flower and both of my plants have become a lighter green. Is this a normal characteristic of Gold Leaf or do I have a nute deficiency ---

I am a beginner with two indoor and one outdoor grows under my belt. To my uneducated eye looks like a possible nitrogen deficiency. Even though they are in flower they still like a little N. What is the pH of your feed water and runoff? I am sure some other growers will pop in and make some suggestions. I’ll tag a few @MeEasy @anon33684698@Caligurl @emgoldslo @Mark0427 @oldmarine ---

Before you go chasing deficiencies, do a soil slurry test. You can add nutrients all you want, but if soil ph is off it won’t help. It also won’t help if you have salt buildup that a flush will help.

Mine did turn “golden” but not that early in flower. Looks like a magnesium issue. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/6/e/c6eaa9c69236e905388a058d5d84bccab8d9ea19.jpeg) ---

What’s the lights set on and how high. Otherwise I’d do a slurry or a calmag water til runoff and check things that way. ---

Thanks for the tag @JaneQP I agree with @Caligurl to do a slurry test first ---

Same thing my buddy said last night. The plant on the right has almost completely red stems. Ive been adding 10/ml per gallon of calmag in the last 3 top offs…i have a mag foliar spray but im hesitant to use it in flower. Think its safe still? ---

Swap out the cal mag for epsom salt. Epsom is just magnesium and sulpher. Just make sure it’s unscented. Most grocery stores or cvs/Walgreens has it. Go about 1/2 teaspoon/gallon. ---

Is it cool to use Epsom in a rez? I currently running an autofill system for the ocotopots. ---

@BigL703 , looks like you have some good suggestions. On another note, how are you liking the octopots? ---

Im liking the convience of them but there is a learning curve with them. Im thinking about switching to a nutrient line called vbx. On an Octopot Facebook page, the consensus seem to get good results using it. I dont thing the Gold Lead fertilizer im using is good for the octopots. Its working beautifully with the 3 gallon air pots im trying out [Next page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/gold-leaf-leaves/77259.md?page=2)
