EDIT: Now sitting at 5.6.
 
Any actual help regarding these as nothing has went right since the beginning of the grow and its starting to burst my head and getting a bit frustrating now. How do I go about fixing the issue, what's the most likely cause, is it pH, lockout is it temps, humidity etc
What's the best course of action to try remedy this using what I already have.

Advanced nutrients pH perfect for coco
micro - grow - bloom
B52 - Rhino Skin - Voodoo Juice.

Terra Aquatica - Calcium Magnesium
Epsom Salts.

I have both bluelabs pH pen and truncheon to test pH/ppm/ec.

I wish I could help more, but I am traveling and don’t have my laptop with my nutrient spreadsheet.

I do see advancing Mg def. Since you are in veg, you could try a foliar with 1g/L of Epsom salt. Add a couple drops of liquid soap as a surfactant. Spray right at lights out and make sure you get the bottom of the leaves.

Thank you.
The plants are on the maximum feed recommended by AN.
Is this lock out or something else.
What do thi k would be the likely cause ?

Thanks again as always your help is appreciated.

Cal mag. And flush the plant really good then alittle cal mag. Will stop it. From getting worse . Here lately my guess she locked up. What mine did. I had to flush her let her dry then go back watering.. seems chemicals easy to lock them up. I only gave chemical once and locked mine up. Being that samll.of plant. 100/1 she locked already. And growth stopped.

Can you remind me what the percentages of Mg are in the base nutrients? And what’s your current dosing? I can do the math on that at least without the spreadsheet.

Hi Felipe.
I do not have or know the percentages of Mg in the base nutrients and I'm almost positive it doesn't say on the bottles either. I'm not in the house at the moment but can look when I go home.

They're getting 4ml of micro, grow, bloom and 2ml of B52 per litre of water

Is there a certain amount of cal mag to use per litre. When you say a little calmag is that after flushing and alongside the other nutrients when feeding again.

I just put alittle bit. Maybe 5 ml per gallon or half that. U just want to stop the spread. What I do is flush plant wait till dirt is dry. Then add clean water with little cal mag in it. Cause ur not going fix the plant u got to stop it.
What happens is this soil has alot of chems in it and when u add more just make stress and locks plant up. My dirt has alot of potassium in it. And I added chems flora grow which has alot of potash 6 parts. And it locked up. Got to fix the problem not bandaid it. Just makes it worse..
This leaf I found. . flushed my plant first. Get all excess chems out. Remember dirt has chems in it. U can tell ur plants does. First pic is the potassium deff. And second pic is when caught. And 24 hrs later after flush.

It's not soil I'm growing in its coco/perlite.
I don't know if the coco hold onto chemicals in the way soil does but I know coco/perlite is inert so doesn't have chemicals naturally in it like soil and as far as I'm aware coco can't dry out in the same way like soil.
 
@FelipeBlu
I've sent advanced nutrients another email specifically requesting that they provide the exact amounts of magnesium, calcium etc in their nutrients. last time I emailed them they wouldn't give me a straight answer when I requested the same answer.

This was their response.

If you are attempting to manually manage the ratios of nutrients which are being delivered by the pH Perfect Grow, Micro, Bloom bottles this will not be possible.

The products are separated into three bottles to avoid crystallization/clumping/spoilage of the product. The products when combined in equal amounts in a reservoir/vessel of water will provide a full spectrum of base nutrients available to the plants at a wide range of uptake from pH 4.0-8.0 due to the way our pH Perfect technology works.

If you are looking for a base nutrient that you can manually fluctuate usage of each bottle our Jungle Juice series would be of interest to you.

This is pure BS. In any case, they should be able to tell you the minimum percentage of Mg, Ca, or any other element provided in each product.

Ya sure. You aren’t asking for their proprietary secret to pH perfect tech - just an elemental analysis. :rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly, I simply asked for the exact amounts in each bottle which they wouldn't provide an answer to.
The email I've not long sent them I've made it clear as a paying customer who has spent £160 GBP on their product that they can at least answer what I requested in the original email.
