Ya, I fed and watered her with CalMag, I'm planning on watering tomorrow again with CalMag. As far as I understand it can take up to 3 days for the dry organic food to start breaking down and absorbing into the plant.
These leaves aren't brown at the tips but more like a purple red.I am having a calmag issue as well and from the research I’ve done that doesn’t look like a result of either. However, I do t have any first hand experience other than the issue I’m having.
I know I’ve seen pictures that perfectly represent this
I will look tonight in an hour or so when the lights turn on, I totally forgot about that. I tried getting it out before the deficiency showed. I wonder if I screwed up the nutrient highway?
Is it possible that this wire is on the limb leading to the yellow leaves?
Ya I missed one bonsai wire I used to spread the mother plant out wide. Growing up I remember on of my cousins catching a piece of wire that was sticking out of a tree he was trying to climb. So my uncle cut it down and found a post wrapped with barbed wire inside it lol.
Soil mites. Not a bad thing.So after watering yesterday I found these guys in the soil. I'm not sure if they are good, bad or part of the organic process. However the amount that were visible was concerning. There aren't any flying insects in the tent and I'm pretty sure these aren't fungus gnat larvae. I did get a new bag of EWC that may have had them in it. Idk what it is but to be safe I covered the top of soil in diatomaceous Earth.
Ok that's good. It was the shear amount of them that made me worried lol. Knock on wood I've been pest free in the tent, outside in the garden however, the pest population has exploded. I don't even go in the tent room without changing my clothes and showering
.
I get thousands of little white critters coming to the surface when I water. They raft up in giant herds and float on top when I flood the pots. They are even more abundant in my worm farm. My flood tray underneath has lots too from runoff. They are beneficials.So after watering yesterday I found these guys in the soil. I'm not sure if they are good, bad or part of the organic process.

Now I feel bad lol luckily that DE will only last until the next watering.
Lol you won't kill them all, they will be back in no time.
So I was thinking about this deficiency I'm experiencing, would too cold of soil create the issue? I don't have the pots lifted and they are just sitting on the concrete, I put a thermometer next to them and in read 66°f. That's a far cry from the 80°F it is with he lights on. I think I've read that cold roots can affect the uptake of Calcium but I would assume it would be affecting the whole plant not just one stalk.
Cold roots will cause all kinds of issues. I use upside down milk crates to keep them off the floor. 69 degrees and above in the soil makes an unbelievable difference. 66 is too cold for sure.
So they have a new line of Fast Flowering strains. Its a photoperiod but is supposed to carry over the quick flowering of the autoflower. Pretty neat stuff if it works out lol. I mean if the Tropicana Cookies is truly a 49 day flower that could make for a really great turn around.
Ill get the heat mat fired back up. I was planning on getting some thick foam to set the whole tent on but haven't got around to it.
Lol well there's plenty of chairs here, just watch out for Gee. If your not running organics he'll show you how easy it can be and next thing you know you're arguing with your wife about why you need a worm tower in the garage to collect worm castings
. Let me tell you saying, "This organic grower on the Internet says I need to cook my old soil so that the microbes adapt to the environment in our basement, and worms are a necessity", gets you the side eye pretty quick haha.
