Yes, I'll go as low as 5.8 but I get nervous below 6.0

really ...? i fed her 5.8 again and the runoff was at 6.42 ... i wonder if it is my bae that pushes Ph up ? i think ill flush coming weekend .. when in doubt flush it out ... ah i almost forgot ... i checked her again and a fair amount of leafs were showing the same spots i gave her 1.5ml/l A+B 1ml/l bloombooster and 1ml/l calmag ... i hope this stops the deficiency as yesterday there was no sign of spots

come to think of it my last soil grow of this same strain also had a severe case of cal def ... maybe its genetics
Most nutrients are taken up best above 6.0 I think the newest nutes on the market are geared more for cannabis than earlier products designed for flowers or veggies. I just have much better luck in coco and hydro with ph levels a little higher.
Try to run your ph between 6.0-6.2 and let's see if it clears up.

thx for the advise .... i dug up a pic of my last Deficient blue dream in soil
ugly huh
and still she yielded 85g and she was way worse come harvest
That's calcium deficiency, I up my calcium during flower along with potassium

well this calmag i have is scaring me to death of N tox as it has alot of N so i dont dare to go above 1ml/l as recommended ... but i forgot that the coco A and B also hold calmag so when i was trying to lower N levels i gave only bloombooster(PK) and calmag (N) then after that i fed her 1ml/l A+B without calmag but with 150% recommended bloombooster so thats the lowest ofcalmag she ever got last week so i brought this upon myself ... and here i was thinking the calmag was enough to last days ... not hours hehe
My Blue Treacle needs more calcium but my cal-mag is 2-0-0 so I've been filling the rest of the nutes with mostly K (Pro_tekt and Terpinator) and very little of the standard bloom nutes. That way I don't worry about overdoing the N.
calcium usage goes way up in flower.

my calmag is N(CaO-MgO) translates to 8(13-3)
Good to know. Thanks Penny! I also remember you saying that they don't need anywhere near the P most of us feed them in flower.

no shit hehe
Calcium nitrate is tough if you're running any kind of grow formula.
Potassium raises quite a bit in flower but Phosphorus remains close to veg levels.

calcium Nitrate or calcium and Nitrogen ...? Ca(NO3)2 isnt that explossive no thats NH4No3 ... ah it all comes back
I was just referring to nitrogen content.

day 86/32
she got plenty Calcium last night and the spots are no longer developing or multiplying so i guess i nipped that one in the but (pun intended).
many trichs are forming and i vouldnt resist rubbing a sugarleaf bewteen index and thumb ... she has a very sweet blueberry smell delicious, when i rub the leafstems i get a mega hazey smell, last time i had a haze dominant flavour i hope for a better mix this run ...
btw as suggested by PW i will start feeding her 6.0 and see how she does ... i will not let runoff Ph be a deciding facter again id rather look at what the girl tells me instead
