Ok first of all breathe it is going to be all right we are here to help. Ok so if it has spread to other leaves and based on what I am seeing I would say yeah it is calmag, but don't worry it is not that bad. I am going to give you some remedies that I have seen take care of the dreaded calmag def.

1st. Change your rez, and I mean clean it good. I know this a pain but you have to start from the ground up in a sense.
2nd How close is your light to the canopy? If you can move it further away I would advise it.
3rd Here is a chart that shows what nutrients are available at what different pH's View attachment 563495 one thing that a lot of people don't do but should (assuming you aren't using pH perfect nutes), is let your pH swing throughout the day, now this can be really tedious but when battling a calmag problem I will do anything to get it to stop. If you will notice basically where Calcium ends being readily available to the plant, that is where Magnesium begins being readily available. This is why I thing what a lot of folks refer to as a Calcium and Magnesium deficiency is really a Magnesium problem. So with all that being said I would if possible start your pH at like 5.6 and gradually swing it up to 6.1 or so maybe even 6.2. Now if you can't do due to time constraints or what have you, then I would suggest upping your pH slightly than you have it now like 6.0 or 6.1 then give the ole girl Epsom Salts or Calmag for a few days and see if that stops the problem. This is how I beat my deficiency last time.

Also I cannot overstate that your problem is not that bad and your plant is not doomed. We will get you through this, you see to me that is the challenging part of growing is that when you get thrown a curve ball how do you respond. It is one of the best feelings in the world for me to have a problem with a plant then go all super ninja on it and fix it. So try the remedy above and if that doesn't help we will continue to address the issue until it is fixed. I give you my word

MY Light is 25 inches above
Should i use there transition formular of both bloom and grow or just use bloom, just use grow?

I'm not sure if transition is a requirement with those nutes or you just prefer to do that ,with mine I just do a straight switch ,if you can see flowers forming and she's stretching changing is fine. ,if there's nothing at all ,don't yet. listen to her not the clock.

Look at my day 40 post what do u think?? @IndicaIVoz


I see white hairs forming inbetween the joints

 

[IndicaIVoz]

I cant see a lot in the pics except the top of course judging by just that id say she's almost there but I wouldn't have switched yet personally until I see a real little mass of pistils in her joints and nooks and tips to me personally she's still in veg but not for long ,that's the way i do it. don't get confused with pre-flowers. there just tiny usually two pistils coming out from generally under a node. some people make the mistake of changing when this happens at around the week 4 mark onwards I've found with mine.

 

[IndicaIVoz]

Start of real flower..

 

[jtrain252]

Then ill switch back to veg cause i have 2-5 pistols coming out of the the nodes. But as u can see from the tops i still have leaves

Ok so im going to go half strength strength veg tomorrow with 5ml of calmag and set it at 5.6 @IndicaIVoz @derek420colorado

 

[IndicaIVoz]

Don't get me wrong though, that's a separate question..changing nutes to bloom wont cause your problems at all at most it will cause a N def after awhile as long as its mixed right which would suck for an auto not to get alll its n needs met for veg. but the mixing you've done may have, but that's not for me to decide and yes shes starting but still vegging by 6-7 weeks she'll start up properly more than likly

 

[IndicaIVoz]

The stretch your seeing isn't the bloom one its the get the f'k outta my way im Dwc buddy and its go time! all mine do that

All in all like Deric420 mentioned as well don't worry loads its going to be fine ,Ive had way more probs than you already and i have some Ok buds growing and im harvesting in a week some Bbk which will be lovely and she looks great, so Don't stress we all gotta learn before we can grow ,the lessons are important too
