Tom Smith's First Indoor Grow With Autos 2017

I'd go with the Nitrogen, but then again I'm no Cal-Mag expert. I've never used a drop of the stuff and thats with RO water and Pro-Mix. My nutes already have all the Calcium and Magnesium the plants need included (just about the only brand that has it included).
 
This is a ww auto, she is in soil, a local mix on day 53, she has done great till now, i have ben using fox farm nutes, i have been cutting down on the grow and only giving her small amounts (2ml per gal), i have been giving half strength of tiger bloom (7.5ml per gal) along with 1/4 strength calmagic, i cut the grow out one their feeding yesterday, do you think she is wanting more nitrogen, and or calmagic. This is my first indoor grow and im kinda stumped lol, any advice is greatly appreciated.✌

I think i may try pro mix next time, im using a local mix and i would much rather just order promix for next grow, i was working with a tight budget and not only that i have to order everything, no grow shops or anything around.

My local ACE Hardware store carries it. I'd hate to think what shipping would cost on it. The bales are compressed and HEAVY! I grew up in a family greenhouse (sping annuals and vegetable plants). We used to use a lot of it. I did find out the hard way that growing indoors with artificial light is way different than growing in a 3 acre natural light greenhouse.

So what is it called ? I'm Looking for something with it included too

Thanks farside, i will give her some grow in the morning and maybe she will straighten up.✌

Check out Dyna-Gro. Just don't use their feed schedule. It's super concentrated stuff and their chart will make your plants crispy. In my latest journal, on page 3, post 40, I have my feed schedule that works for me in Pro-Mix. If you're on a budget, you can use just their Foliage Pro and Pro-Tekt and still have excellent results. The Bloom and Mag-Pro are optional. Only reason I use them is because my pH seems more stable with it. In my side by side just the Foliage Pro and Pro Tekt plants did just as well. You can get little 8 oz bottles on Amazon that will pretty much get you through a whole grow or maybe more. A cheap way to experiment with a different nute line.
 
Day 43 Autoflower Leaf Problems
Check this out - autos are Greek to me but looks normal for finishing according to this threadshes just using all the nutes in the leaves to make more bud
Thanks Philsthetent, i will mix her a little more nutes and add some grow big and go from there, maybe she will be fine.✌
 
I did it with my first grow. I gave them all names of famous porn stars because they are basking in their purple stripper lights. After that I went the "not so original" route. Each has the name of their strain plus a number ie. Blueberry #1.

Haha loving the porn star name idea!!!
 
Tom I've gone through the exact same thing in the past. Stumped me for a couple grows. I'm running late for work but I'll try to help you out in a bit.
Hold off on the nitrogen, it's definitely not heat stress. Wait on the Calmag, or don't change what you have been doing.
Couple questions-
Are you using RO water? If not what's the ppm of your water?
If you are checking ph of your nute solution have you calibrated your ph meter lately?
What strength are you feeding your bloom nutes?

Lets figure out the reason for the deficiency or lockout first. they aren't going to die so don't stress. Right now I'm pretty sure I know what it is but we need to figure out the cause first. If there is a deficiency but caused by lockout and you give it more of what it is deficient in you will make it worse before better.

This looks a lot like what was happening to my white widow photos, I gave them cal mag and Grow Big (still in veg) and no more leaves have been affected. Looks like nitrogen def to me though, but it wouldn't hurt to up your cal mag dose
