I aquired some clones a while ago from a friend, they had a noticable nutrient decifiency of some sort which I could tell by the stalk and stems being very red. It started clearing up good on the new growth but there was still noticable red on the new stems, and the old ones were still as red as ever. I also aquired a couple more clones that were in good health from another friend, but they are starting to show some red on the stems as well. I use "Earth Juice" ferts. I have their whole line of products (grow, bloom, catalyst, meta-k, microblast, naural up and down.) When i purchased them the man at the Hydroponic store said that Earth Juice needed calcium added to it, he reccomended using oyster shell when I asked how much to use, he asked what it was for so I shut up and bought it. I've been adding a little bit of crushed oyster shell that I break into a powder when I mix my ferts, But I'm not sure how much to use, I think this could be why my stems are red. Does anybody here have any idea how much oyster shell to use? or reccomend something else that may help?
