Magnesium Deficiency

[PigLet]

i have a Mg deficiency and i added botanicare Cal-Mag Plus, i couldn't find any epsom salt but i was thinking about pouring out all the water and just use epsom salt cause i heard it was faster or better so what you guys think
3-4 week of flower
it's a 22gal reservoir and my nutrients solution mix contains
1oz flora-gro
4oz flora-mirco
8oz flora-bloom
1tablespoon barricade
2 1/2oz scorpion juice
2 1/2oz B-52
1oz liquid karma
then added-
5oz cal-mag plus (for the Mg def)
(i was thinking that this mix is too strong so i been adding one to two gallon of water a day to dilute) PH is at 5.5 to 5.8

the form man the form

[LOC NAR on probation]

yes the form, please.

Oh and don't use epson salt. It is only for quick use because you didn't have cal mag. Only if desparate and want to try and save. You got cal mag it's wayyyyyy better.

CHECK IT OUT (I THINK IT IS A SALT BUILD UP)

dude...read the responses you have gotten. We are saying that we do not have nearly all the information that we need to make an informed decision regarding diagnosis of any Deficiency. Pictures are helpful...but, not always the cause of your problem!

Please go to the plant problems link...and then grab a form...fill it out and bring it back.

i'am at my 6th week of flowering and couple plants leave turn yellow green
i thought it was magnesium deficiency but today i look at the rock wool cube on the ones that turn color there were some salt crystally looking like deposit

After just going a round with Gravity. I would say that's it, the gravity. It will burn your plants up starting with the large leaves.

Did you use it full strenght like the bottle says ? And raise your light way up, between the 2, light and gravity it burns.

I would drain rez and put back nutes. If they look like that it's done, much more and you will not get much out of them. Flush the last week.

They will thicken up good but don't let the gravity go any farther.

i just put gravity in 2 days ago like 2oz into 20gal and added two more gallons of water to lighten the dose, the light is 16in away u think its cool or still burn(i also have air cool)
the bottle says raise lights 6in to 12in away

Please don't post ill advised information if you do not know...The problem in those pictures is not Gravity. A burn does not look like that picture. I use gravity for my plants @ 1/2 ml per gal. of H20 with 1/3 ferts and have never gotten a burn (using indicas).

Pig Let - What kind of filter do you have (brita....RO unit....ect)

My tap water is great (150 ppm) so I just de-chlorinate and mix. You can obtain a local water report with the ppms from your electrical/water company.
By using your filter you are taking the ca and mg away. Cannabis is a mg hog and judging by your pictures and set-up you have a mg def. Since my water already has some I usually put around 2ml per gallon with the Liquid Kharma. When introducing another fert into the mix I would go slow (5oz is too much at one time 5-6 weeks into the grow). I think a lot of people have a good equation to how much cal-mag you should use with filtered water.
One was 250 ppm of cal-mag (with 0ppm h20) and then add the rest of your ferts.

Because your sooo late into flowing, yellowing of leaves will happen as the plants slowly starts to swell and die. It uses up the leaves that are blocked by others and starts to use the others as food into the flush. If you have salt build ups, just flush. If your plant is in the 6th week and its an 8 week plant, then you will start to flush soon anyways.
Hope this helps
