Is this Mag & Cal or ? deficiency?

well, what week i swap them over is a bit subjective. it really is dependant on the plants. once i start seeing amber trichs in larger amounts i know its getting close. flushing for me anyway means i water it to saturation not so much by volume and it also means nothing but water for the last 2 weeks. unfortunately growing in soil means that flushing has a somewhat limited effect as far as completely removing ferts...unless you manage to actually deplete the soil.....

as for strain. right now its northern mexican aintgotnoclue...or bagseed. i havent put any money into seeds yet for a myriad of reasons but mainly im a cheap bastard and honestly when you grow it yourself you can see what it was like before it traveled poorly, trashcompacted etc. by the time its gets here its a shadow of its former self. i also only grow a few plants at a time as its only for me and a few buds if theyre short. the ones i have now are starting to get obnoxious. when i open the tent i get hit by a powerful stink of a fruit eating skunk that crapped in a tub of fermenting corn. it was so strong this morning i thought i was gonna guff but it settled down. so maybe its a sour diesel??? dunno tho but i know it will be way better than the product the seed came from once i got it.

my best yeild indoors has been around 4ounces of good bud + trim and mids for a total of maybe 5.5 to 6 or so per plant.
however i had less of height restriction at that point so i could let them veg longer. with these im probably looking at 2-3 ounces per plant. they are super short but part of that is from a ph issue.

A pH of 4.8 is much to low for a soil grow. That tells us something. Too much fert. Even using the ferts you have without using the additional P ferts, I suspect might be too much. I didn't think it was overfert initially because usually overfert shows leaf tips turning yellow, then brown, then the rest of the leaf turns yellow and brown. You have those colors, but you also have areas that stayed green. This was a good one, however, because people can learn from this. I wonder if you water with some pH up, if that might make a difference.

Ok - the consensus is too much fert. I concur. The plants I have in Veg now are on a new schedule. They are at the end of Week 5 & have received a 30% reduction in the FF schedule & only fed 3 x's. They look gorgeous. The Jack Flash are over 2 feet & the White Widow are over 30 inches. They have been growing in the Ocean Forest soil. Now that they are going into Flower, I will follow the FF schedule cut by 30% (1/3rd approx). The schedule calls for feeding every other watering.

Question: SHOULD I ADD CALMAG with each feeding in addition to the FF?

As for the pH, with nutes, I'm at 6.4. Are you suggesting I go higher? I have a bunch of plants so we can have some fun with experimenting.

6.4 = good

i wouldnt play with the ph if its at 6.4...unless you wanna watch your plants burn up. if you really want to see what happens take a look at some of my pics i had ph problems in both directions. i still have 2 that are real slow to come back.

calmags probably not a bad idea.

Happy, going back to the nute thingy, the fox farm trio is an excellent source of nutrition. But when you delve into the cha Ching, beastie blomz etc, gotta be REAL CONSERVATIVE & IMHO would go light on the feeds. As my buddy "the moderator" sez "it's a weed". The cal mags & PH up/down remedies, will work...... however they are repairs status post "shock". With all of the high tech gadgets out there, outstanding yes....... but truly necessary? Relax & slow down.

Thanks, Esteban, I'm doing just that. I've cut the FF schedule of nutes (the trio) by 30% & adding 1/2 tsp CalMag. Feeding every other watering. I just hope I'm not going to run into problems with the Ocean Forest being so "hot". I'll be sending pics as the White Widow XTRM grows in Flower.

How are things looking so far?
