Idk what I'm doing wrong. This is my first grow. Im giving them n
utes once a week. Im giving them distilled water. I make sure there is calmag in the water. I test the ph levels everytime before putting in.. and I always have it between 6.2 and 6.5. I keep the temp at 78° and 45% humidity. And yet all my plants are starting to degrade. Its day 57. The leaves are progressively getting worse and they all are hermie now.... idk man
I dont know ehat im doing wrong

What’s your medium and how much does your pot hold?
I would be giving nutrients every watering at this point in your grow.

I using foxfarm happyfrog for one and foxfarm ocean blend for the other. Its my first grow so I wanted to see what grows better. The ocean blend isn't as bad as the happy frog but its still progressing. They are both 5 gallon pots
Using their nute line also?

HF is only good for 3 to 5 weeks depending on how big and/or how much the plant is taking up. At that size i'd figure 3. 5 to 4 weeks and nutes are needed. As far as the Cal-Mag is concerned, the HF and the nutrient line should have calcium and magnesium in it as at this point you should be using bloom/flowering nutrients.......adding extra cal-mag might be putting you into a lock out condition.....
I think you are dealing with lock out. You should not be adding much if any calmag at that stage of the grow with HF or OF. The distilled water might need 50-100 PPM calmag as a slight buffer, any more is likely to cause problems, those soils come pre-loaded with quite a bit of calmag.
Mild feeding to slight runoff for the next couple weeks is probably your best approach right now.
good luck!

Sorry, missed using distilled.....the HF and nutes should have most of the cal-mag you would need.......think you got lock out and over feed situation..
I just started the cal mag on Friday. The sysmptpm were there before just continuing. And I've be running the ff trio at 1/4 strength once a week. Ill stop the cal mag than and just go with distilled water. Should I keep adding the nutes weekly or with each watering?
Should I give nutes every watering or stick to once a week? I'm still only using 1/4 the recommended dosage
