Is this n deficiency or just need feeding ?? NEED YOUR HELP PLZ!!!
Most of the info you've been given is solid, with the exception of those that are overly concerned with your 83 degree temperatures. During the summer I'm lucky if my night-time temps dip that low. Try and keep the day/night (high/low) temps within 15-20 degrees if possible. The tighter the range, the better. (without getting all anal about it)
Can't say I'm a big fan of feeding with every watering, but if it works for ya go for it. Some may understand this, some may go "huh...?"...but if a quantitative datum of 1 (level) tsp per gallon per week is optimal, then cutting it down to 3 feedings at 1/3 tsp per gallon is likely straying from that optimal 'datum'. Especially if one has a habit of doing heaping measurements 3 times a week rather than one level measurement, once a week. (super-easy over feed) If mixing larger batches of nutrients, then this is not a concern. But for smaller grows, it can be a big problem. I guess what I'm getting at, is...the smaller the batch, the more careful and consistent you need to be.
Just something to keep in mind as you're developing your schedule, but I'm a big fan of the KISS principles.
CalMag Plus and molasses are sources of iron, calcium and magnesium. Plants need calcium for cell wall development and growth, especially later in maturity. Personally, I prefer unsulfered molasses.

I don't get it. Why would anyone have the habit of doing heaping measurements 3 times a week? "If mixing larger batches of nutrients, then this is not a concern."
Huh? Why wouldn't this be a concern? Don't you think it's just as easy to over-feed with large batches of nutes as with small ones? Isn't the important thing actually the ratio of nutes to water that's the issue? Why do you write of using 1 tsp per gallon, saying it can be broken up as 1/3 tsp per gallon? Don't you end up giving about 3 times the normal amount of water? If you're using 1/3 strength nutes over time, shouldn't a grower use 1/3 the water, to maintain the right ratio? Otherwise you give too much water, correct? And how is it that you arrive at such a bizarre example?
(The starter of this thread is using liters, by the way).
Rusty, you also wrote several days ago that someone should smell the bottoms of their pots to detect rootrot. Do you really think this is going to work? Chances are all they're going to smell is wet potting soil, if anything at all. Some people here say you're the guy to listen to, but I think many of the things you write do not make any sense. I think you come here just to get your ego stroked. Whether you're right or wrong seems to be irrelevant to you. I've been reading this forum for about 8 years now and it's obvious that you're here just to get stroked. Stinkyattic did the same thing but at least stinkyattic had a greater tendency to be right. But even when she was wrong, she would dig in her heels and fight back if anyone tried to correct her.

Is my temps and my rh to high yes/no??
I watered with plain water ph 7.8 run off 6.7 is this ok ??
I work in ml's and ltr's !
I believe a table spoon is 10ml and Tspoon 5mil ??
My plagron alga bloom says 4ml per ltr , There is 4.5 ltrs per gallon correct? so this would mean i need almost 2 table spoons per gallon ? does this not seem high???
What other nutes am i needing in flower , I have canna pk 13/14 to use a week be four harvest , Is this correct?, or anything that is vital in flowering i need to know ???

83 can be a bit high for an indoor grow, that doesn't have much airflow.
pH is fine.
Tablespoon is 15 mls.
3.9 liters per gallon.
For measuring mls you can get a syringe from your local chemist/drug store/whatever you call it in England/UK nations. Or you can try ml measuring devices intended for uses in cooking/chemistry, etc.
Don't know about using pk a week before harvest. This doesn't sound right. I'm guessing it's only a phosphorus/potassium fert. I'm thinking that you use this for the entire flower/bloom cycle, but you might want to throw in some nitrogen fert, to keep the plants green during flowering. CANNA - THE SOLUTION FOR GROWTH AND BLOOM
Yellow dots - if there are no bugs in your grow space, then this could be magnesium deficiency, as this usually shows up like golden-yellow spotting on the upper side of the leaves. If Canna doesn't say anything about having mg (magnesium) in it, then you probably need to add some. A cal/mag product will do nicely.
Plants look pretty good, but will outgrow such a small space. Either move some or you'll have to trim them back quite a bit. People put alot of plants into a small area apparently forgetting that the plants will grow.

Why do you plan on using two different bloom ferts? One or the other but not both. Get a cal/mag product and follow the directions on the container, giving a dose soon. I wouldn't wait until Monday. Wait a couple weeks and give another dose, and that should be good until they're done. Don't mix the cal/mag with your other fert however. mix each with their own waters to avoid the calcium and phosphorus from binding to each other. Only get the cal mag if the alga doesn't have calcium and mg in it. Pick the bloom fert that has more stuff in it. Canna might be easily absorbed but it may not have everything plants need. Let them grow another ten inches, then tranplant to larger containers, using same soil.

Plagron Alga-bloom contains: 13% phosphor, 14% potash, 1.5% nitrogen, trace elements, vitamins, enzymes, growth hormones, ferments and more than 20 types of amino acids.
Usage: Dilute 4 ml with 1 litre of water. Water the plants with this dilution once a week. A 1 litre bottle
No cal/mag , should i still avoid using together??

You use them but do so seperately, adding one fert with water, then the other mixed with water. You don't want to mix calcium and phosphorus together because the cal and P will bind together and become useless. Put them in the soil but do so seperately, or I suppose you can mix in the same water but don't mix them together without water. Don't mix them in water and them set it aside as the longer the calcium and P are together, the greater chance they will mix and become useless.
