Looks like the start of a calcium deficiency but lack of calcium isn't your problem. I think an excess of potassium can show as a cal-def. Either way, at 6 weeks, you'll be flushing soon so I don't think there is much you can do other than keep an eye on ph until you're ready to chop.

Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.

Thanks for the reply M8

So shall I drop the pk13/14 and just keep going as I am with ab feeding twice a day to run off pH 5.8,6.2 ?

Id say calcium def or possibly phosphorous even both together cus they do work together those 2 . I wouldn't sweat it too much if its odd leaf for where your at in flower now. If its calcium def at this point it looks a lot worse than it is and tends to get worse as grow goes on whether feeding calmag or not it hard to stop i think, you can slow it by upping feeds.

In future grows I'd be looking at dropping calmag and feeding 1.4-1.6ec of A&B in bloom and add whatever else to that when you use it through out flowering, like pk boost etc. Plant will love it man.

Cheers Jimmy , so I'll just keep going feeding twice a day up my ab ec and drop cal mag and keep a eye on things 👍 my bluelab truncheon doesn't register when I test my tap water so thought I'd need calmag all the way through. I'm learning slowly I guess 🤣👍

Cheers fellas appreciate the help 👍

Your A&B has it all in just use a higher base fert ec , 1.0 to 1.2 in full veg and 1.4 to 1.6 in bloom and you shouldn't get any problems @Red squirrel fowl Your water is the best stuff for growing clean as fuck man so you shouldn`t get problems mate.

For me, trying to identify a deficiency is useless... How do we fix a deficiency? We don't.
I wouldn't know what to add to my feed if i had a zinc deficiency, I don't think anyone does???

Plants either need more feed or less feed.
Yellow bits = more needed... Brown bits = less needed.
That's as simple as I can keep it and it works for me. 😂


You don't need that calmag either. As Jimmi says, your base ferts have all of that in it already.

Week 6 and you'll be flushing soon, no need to try and correct anything here, maybe ease off the EC a little and let them start using up anything they have in reserve.

Good luck anyway! I'm sure they'll be fine.
