Can you give me a scientific explanation as to why that happens? I still have been unable to find anything on that, just heresay and observations from people who don't really know what they are talking about. Lots of people confuse deficiencies with lockouts, so who knows if they are even observing correctly.
I guess its a chemical/synthetic mindset.
I completed a Master Gardeners course at the University of Washington, I was referenced a couple of studies by two Universities. One in England and the other in Spain I believe. I will do my best to find the link if I can. Everything I learned and read through those findings, is that the plants (in that study which included tomatoes and basil amongst a handful of others) required no extra calcium, magnesium, iron, or many of the other base nutrients. So it's conflicted with me, since what everyone in the Cannabis/LED lighting industry claims is the opposite of what I have learnt through that course. I am no agronomist. Let's clear that one up. Thought to answer you directly. I can not. Since I have yet to find anyone who has followed the scientific method to give measured proof of such a claim. I was also thinking that maybe you had a spike in the pH of the water you were using. I know a few guys who have had lockout or deficiency for not keeping tabs on their pH. Though they were using main line water without a filter... so there lies a lot of the issue in itself.
