Whats the brown spots?

[Mushinronsha]

... not Ca defc., and there's no such thing as Ca-Mg defc, it's one or the other... very different symptoms, Mg is mobile, Ca very poorly so,....
.. that wet looking necrosis looks like P defc. to me,... review your feeds, pH, ppm's for us,....

What do mean "review"? Do you want me to share them or just double check them myself? I did have the humidity lower when i first started before anyone showed me vpd chart. But since than I check twice a day and have been within the idea range. I don't have a digital PH meter so I'm guessing off the color charts from a general PH kit and have been between 5.0-6.0 most of the grow. I think my last feeding MY ppm was around 750, and goes down 15-20 points per day. Since I saw this I did add Cal-Mag product at 1/2 strength. I also added Canazyme since the sales lady was throwing it down my throat with a recirculating system. It seemed like it could be beneficial. Last night I pruned the leaves that had it the worse and so far I havnt seen anymore outbreaks...so heres to staying optimistic !

The beginnings of phosphorus deficiency?

... as in what exactly are you feeding (brand, schedule, dosage, ppm's --I see that now),... but I think this is from a pH hiccup, locking out P temporarily,... easy to to because the color/dropper type testing isn't very accurate, and in hydro, that is everything... it's not very flexible in nute availability--->

..... in hydro, it's pretty much mandatory that you have a decent pH meter, just the same as a TDS/EC meter,... current ppm seems OK...
.... don't nip off leaves unless there's a very good reason, removing them don't fix anything, and can make matters worse; leaves can store certain mobile nutrients as reserves,... P is one of those,.... plus on a small plant, you taking away proportionately large amounts of transpiration and photosynthetic surface area,...

Damn, I wish I had read this earlier. It doesn't appear we have damaged her to much though. Here is hoping that she is happy with what she has. So is pruning in whole bad in your opinion? Or is there a place and time for it? This whole thing is a learning experience so we are always open for suggestions.

pruning is fine in a larger healthy plant, usually when the foliage is super lush and some pruning can help air flow and let more light on bud sites, for example,...

This is my one nute schedule that I use. Somewhat like hydro since it has a res but they are in in the autopots which are constant bottom fed. I do use Calmag from beginning to end of grow
I use Canna Coco bricks so my precharge to rehydrate is 2 grams Megacrop , 1 gram Sweet Candy, 8mls Earth Juice Oily Cann Calmag per gallon. It will take almost 4 gallons to make up their package of 40L brick. Then before I place germed seed into pot each pot get's 1.5L of the same nutes.
Day 5 from sprout they get 500mls same nutes
Day 10 750ml-1L same nutes
Day 15 1L same nutes and turn on airdomes if you have them
Day 20 mixed up 5 gallons of same nutes for the reservoir and turned on and final top water of about 1L each from the res to make sure the pots were evenly saturated and start drawing from the tray.
Day 30 filled reservoir with Megacrop 3 grams, 1.2 grams Sweet Candy, 8mls OilyCann Calmag per gallon, 1ml DripClean per 10 Liters
Day 40 @ 4g Megacrop and 1.2g Sweet Candy, 8mls OilyCann Calmag can start adding Redline 1.2 grams per gallon, 1ml DripClean per 10 Liters
Day 50 @ 4g Megacrop and 1.2g Sweet Candy, 8mls OilyCann Calmag, 1.2 grams Redline, 0.5 grams Mother Monarch per gallon, 1ml DripClean per 10 Liters
Same till the end of grow or can drop Megacrop to 3 grams per gallon final 2-3 weeks.

Hey brother! How are ya? How’s that Bushy running these days? Can I steal your regimen? I’m really deep down the organic rabbit hole right now but one of these days I will try a coco grow - just for the experience and to say I’ve done it. I know you grow some dank and your schedule seems easy to follow and I have most of those ingredients laying around the barn.

Question about those autopots: are they basically just a SIPS container - like the same idea as a Earth Box? Bottom of pot has liquid reservoir and most of the medium sits above it with a small amount of medium that extends down into the reservoir and soaks up the liquid, like a straw, as the plant needs it?

Since I’m growing microbes in my soil I’m looking for a way to keep my soil moist at all times but never over watered, of course. Blumats seems like a perfect answer but with them I can’t input supplemental nutrition individually because all the plants would be on 1 reservoir. Theoretically, if I’m doing it right I don’t need to worry but there’s a big difference between theory and my reality. Lmao! So far, anyway. Lol!

Seems like “cal/mag” is the first thing everyone thinks of. I can hardly find a infirmary thread that doesn’t have a suggestion that the solution is adding cal/mag. I know that calcium or magnesium deficiencies are quite common under LED lighting if supplements aren’t added and I’m guessing it’s a big issue in soilless (i.e. coco) and hydro, if it’s not added; but is this more of a knee-jerk reaction solution or are the symptoms of these two mineral deficiencies so similar to others? I seem to notice that you diagnose K (potassium) as the deficiency quite a bit; and I see the same by your counterparts on other forums. If you ever have time, a sticky post addressing easy ID of either a cal or a mg deficiency (and reiterating that “calmag” May be a product but it’s not a deficiency, lol!) might be quite useful in reducing some misdiagnosis. With most people adding one calmag product or another to their water these days, it seems like a deficiency of either would be pretty rare? I know my soil mix has multiple sources of calcium and what ought to be plenty of Mg if the pH is correct. The more I read and research, the more K seems to be important and underrated by growers. There’s always talk of nitrogen and phosphorous and calmag but far far less about potassium. Maybe a powerhouse like you could also encourage someone to do a stickie on K, extolling it’s importance to happy plants and big dank buds.

See how easy it is for someone else to try to add to your workload? Lol! If I were a better grower and didn’t have to lean on you as much as I have, I’d do it myself. But who’s gonna listen to ME? I wouldn’t even listen to me. Lol! It’s gotta come from a rockstar - someone like you!

BTW - do you have a grow journal any more? I wonder how you’d even have time to grow yourself with all the help you give folks like me.

By all means run it and see how you do. So far I've liked the schedule and the jungles I've been able to do with it. On my Autopot trays I've put 1/4" shutoff valves to help if I have to harvest or do any maintenance with my plants. They are pretty much just like the SIPS/Earth Box setup. I wanted to have a simple growing setup and that is one reason why I chose this route.

Thanks buddy!!
