Yeah I really like it, a bit expensive but seems worth it when I get the hang of this.
Yeah I'm adding 1ml of cal-mag to every liter of water im giving them, and im giving them around 3L water every 24hours. Should I up their cal-mag dosage a little? Distance from the tops currently sits at 40cm for the cookie strain and 60cm for the blue dream. @Trichome farmer

3L sounds like alot in soil for every day are you getting alot of runoff with that ? 40cm is getting right on the limits for flowering i usually dont go closer than 50cm if you adding cal mag already i dont think thats the issue as you dont nned as much cal mag when using soil try raising the light a bit

Lights don't consume Calcium or Magnesium, they run on electricity.

If your plants are showing a deficiency in either, one option is to consider increasing leaf temp and RH to lower VPD.

I disagree with trichome farmer's advice that adding supplemental calcium and magnesium together is a best practice. Soil additives are a last stop on addressing mild light bleaching or chlorosis of the leaves.

you know what i mean plants under led particularly the telos use up more cal mag in the plants also his plants look yellower than they are in my experience with this light the pictures always make the plants look paler

Another question, should I keep defoliating a little bit every day? Or do 1 bigger defoliation run every other week or so?
@low_and_slow @Trichome farmer

id do nearly none by looking at your plants they are nicely spaced not too full looking you can remove any leafs that are blocking budsites but id say just let them go how they are

Hmm not alot but maybe 20%? But I did PH the runoff and it was aroudn 5.5, and the ppm around 2000ish so for next 2 feeds im just going with cal-mag and water, and I'll try raise the lamps a bit. What do you think about that?

i use coco so im not very good when it comes to soil but from what i know thats way too low of a ph coming out and 2000ppm is 3.0 e.c
that sound way too high i suggest you go make a thread in the infirmary section put all this info in there leave nothing out someone who knows alot more will be able to put you on in the right direction i think your about to start getting lock out soon with those numbers
here a link to the section sorry i cant be more help
