Opie - thank you for your comments, have saved them in an everlong text file of tips i steal from various forums. good advice

attic- i think you may be right about the ph, i just gave up spraying them with serenade because it would be hopeless to keep doing that all the way through the veg and flower cycle.

i ended up getting calmag plus but before i even watered them with that they already stopped rusting and spotting.

maybe the rootzone finally dealt with the extra coco in the soil and recovered? i dont know but its a good thing to have anyway.

could i have used unsulphered molasses instead of calmag to help with this issue? im just asking in case someone else poor reads this and has to try some off the grocery shelf 2$ solutions.


while i was buying the calmag + the local shop guys gave me a free 4 oz bottle of mayan microzyme. im bubbling it right now with the molasses i bought anyway and im sure this will also help alot with any ph/coco problems going on down there.

since there were no directions on the bottle i called Humboldt to get some help and they said serenade contains over 700 strains of B. subtilis and that if i wanted i could spray with mayan one week and serenade the next as foliar or soil topping and they would get along just fine and probably devour anything that wasnt supposed to be there.

neway the two plants that were doing the worst have now recovered mostly with some cabbage looking leaf sets, im assuming thats due to the serenade spraying but at least its growing.

have either of you ever used mayan microzyme, possibly with calmag +?

im curious as to what effect it has and there isnt a ton of information out about it except for alot of people saying they are going to try it someday.


thx for the help again!
