When I had a cal mag def I had that same problem, I bought sensi cal mag andproblem was fixed in days just watch the Ph

nice one cheers man am on a budget of literaly 0 so cant get any proper cal/mag stuff hah but will give them a whole bunch of epsom and molasses then and hopefully thatll do the trick!

Doesn't look like cal/mag. That starts with brown spots on the leaves. That looks like P deficiency. Did you check the run off on the latest feed? It was a little high on your last feed.

yeah the run off was the same, all plants between 6.2 -6.4 and watering at 5.8 again. whats the optimum run off pH i should be aiming for?

 

[Killijin]

6.5

another quick update..

So is about day 47 i think, hopefully about at the half way point!

Everything is looking preetty good, with the exception of the lower leaves and branches which are still suffering a bit. quite a few have just fallen off the main stem and others are still turning slightly yellow but it seems to be getting better, slowly.

Last feeding i watered at 5.7 to try make up for the high soil pH and its still coming out at 6.4 so there must be something i'm doing wrong but it doesnt seem to be having much of an adverse effect on the girls so i guess its not too much problem..

Good news though is i'm starting to see trichomes on lots of leaves which is pretty exciting

So, here's some pics!

Nice job. They look great.

Can you take some pictures of those lower leaves so we can get a good look at them? Sometimes if they are well hidden by the other leaves some of those at the very bottom will yellow and die off, mostly from a lack of light reaching them.

 

[IggidyBiggidy]

yea heres some pics of the lower leaf problems, it starts out looking like this



then progresses to this



then the leaves die and fall off with the whole leaf stem..

It's still spreading to other leaves as well so is a bit worrying..

Looks like a P deficiency that was most likely caused by nutrient lockout from you pH being too high. Keep checking your run off and make sure it's still around 6.4 - 6.5.
