Deficiency problems.

I'll order an ec meter, there's no stores around here.
This is just my second grow, what should the ec be?
 
Before you go ordering a EC meter.......what type of water are you using?...RO, tap from city, tap from well?......I've got an EC meter I bought that I haven't used yet because I got my water quality issues ironed out and haven't needed it...
 
I use tap water from well.
Okey, how did you sort that out?
OK...do you know your aquifer type?.....I'm in Florida with limestone aquifer.....lots of calcium......switched to distilled / RO, put cal-mag on a shelf and have been doing good... Installed a undersink RO system a year ago and not many problems since.
For 2 grows before I installed the system I hit the DG and bought 10 gal of distilled water at a time.....
 
No, unfortunately I don't. I'm in Sweden and I'm sure there's a lot of limestone in the water because my humidifier got all white and clogged.
Used to live in the city and had no problems. Maybe I should go and just fill up Jerry cans with water.

I would try switching to distilled and cut out the cal-mag before ordering an EC meter...at least you simplify the hunt for what the problem is....
 
Two different answers from two different stoners...go figure...... it's your money, spend it how you feel best..
 
Your leaves are showing a Phosphorous problem. As you can see on the chart below too much Ca is most likely locking out the P.

Get a Good EC meter. I might also help to have your water tested for AG use so you know what you are starting with. It really is that important.

:goodluck:
