Help please. Going downhill fast

Wow I hit the nail on the head with this one ............... Cal-mag first then Silica makes the calcium less available to the plant. The silica literally coats the calcium in a shell of ions. So even though you are putting plenty in the nutrient mix the plant cannot use it fast enough.

You are in coco and perlite right? Flush with 5.8 PH Water plus 50 PPM cal-mag. Then right away feed with the mix I posted. Yes just add beneficials at the rate from the vendors. Don't use recharge as a flush but as a beneficial. It is wise to feed at a lower rate for a day or two after using recharge.

Should calmag always be added last even without using silica? Kinda have same issue going on. Plants is light green with yellowing in centers of leaves. Following your feeding plan. Kinda think it’s a ph thing my ph run off was alittle high after adding recharge. Flushed ph to 5.8 and gonna see what happens before I post in infirmary. Then I was reading this today and thought maybe that could be happening. I add calmag to water first. Using MC 1part bonticare calmag and dr teals pure epsom salt and recharge 1 gram per gal once a week.

I need to see pictures. Nutrient mixing order is Cal-mag can be added to RO/DI to 70PPM first then silica wait an hour then fertilizer then the rest of the Cal-mag if still needed then the bennaficials then PH.
