Hello all, this is my first post here. I'm a first time grower and was originally supposed to receive some coaching from some experienced growers, but they have since flaked on me and I've been forced to go it alone. I've been reading, watching videos and trying to gather as much info as possible, but it seems you ask 10 people the same question, you get 10 different answers. Maybe I'm just being paranoid and over analyzing things, but better to be safe than sorry. Right?
BACKGROUND:
Received "Black Russian" and "Cali Hash Plant" clones 3 weeks ago from long time hydro grower. Advised to only give them water for first 3-4 weeks, otherwise would "burn" them if given nutes. Went 24/24 for 15 days (waited until they were 12"), went a full 24hrs off and started 12/12 about 4-5 days ago. Lower leaves have started yellowing (on both strains) and becoming spotty on most of the plants, although the rest of the plant looks very healthy. Some of the edges of other leaves have begun turning yellow as well. From my research it would appear to be a magnesium deficiency, but maybe not?
Thanks for your time.
