Sweet, CalMag, CalMag Plus, and many carbo-load products are all derivitives of molasses. (likely says it's sugar beet derived or something similar in the ingredients...) Too much magnesium will lock-out other nutrients...which results in the yellowing of the plant.

Scared to ask, but how are they now?
Hey Rusty, Thanks for getting back to me. The plants are all doing much better now! Today is exactly 7 days from the big flush. 2 days ago, fresh white pistols began appearing in the buds of the most severely affected plants, and the buds are starting to grow again! Whoohoo! :thumbsup: The leaf veins of the indicas are slowly turning dark green again and the very yellow leaves of the sativas are turning green again all over, but slowly.

It soil was finally dry yesterday, so I waited until this morning to water. I noticed that some of the leaves that had began turning green were turning back to yellow. They've had no water for 7 days. I decided to add ONLY Sweet to the water at 7.5ml/gallon. The recommended dosage is 10ml/G for veg and 20ml/G for flower. I did notice it has Mg but I thought the Sulfur was what did the trick in Sweet. Damn, I did it again!

Well, that we know all about the problems I??ve had with this grow, which is near the end, I have some more pictures of my new babies. See below, and click twice for a super close-up...This morning during watering, I noticed two of them are exhibiting the exact same lesions/necrotic spots on the veins as the much older plants! They are 16 days old after pre-germination.

The seedlings are planted in Black Gold Organic Seedling Mix (Ingredients: 70-80% Canadian Sphagnum peat moss, perlite, dolomite lime, and yucca extract as a wetting agent). They don't get any nutrients in the water, and there's basically none in the soil. <b>So, what??s wrong with my water?</b> pH 6.2-6.5 (working on getting a pH pen for an accurate reading) Well water. There is red dirt all over this part of California, indicating a possible high iron content.

I read someone's post on putting high-powered magnets in the water to pull the iron out. I did that but didn't notice any iron on the magnets after 24 hours, not that I might anyway. Does this work?

And, check out the super-purple stems?WTF?
