Stretch has begun. Think i have a bit of N deficiency showing through...

That looks like the start of a magnesium deficiency. Check the PH of the media. If you're adding calmag every feed you may have a lockout or something going on.

I thought the same. I use cal-mag because i use R.O water. Will flush through with some R.O water when it dries out a little.

Woah there cowboy don't flush with pure RO or you will shock em to shit if you don't have a flushing agent, make up a low mix with an EC of around 1.2EC. Flushing them with RO will upset the root pressure and could cause many issues.

Also, make sure you're using the soft water version of their nutrient. How much calmag are you putting in?

Noted. I normally put 0.5ml/ltr magne-cal only put 0.8 last time because i was mashed and already put the lid back on the bottle. I dont have an EC pen so thats out of the question for now.

Lol herb upload as many pics as you like cant wait for the bud pawn ones

Can't wait either. Gotta try not to kill them yet. There is still time .

Dont even have a ph pen. I use cheap litmus paper lol. Probably should buy some more kit

[seymore_budz]

Litmus will do as long as you check it in natural light. I'd be more worried about using RO water without a EC pen. Maybe mix 50/50 tap water with your RO to make sure that you have a little buffer. I use RO but I use nutrient that are specifically made for RO water. I found the Plagron Alga range played nice with RO too but I used to get a little mag def later in flowering and when I moved over to LED that exacerbated the issue. I find when you go big on the photons, soil grown plants struggle to keep up the pace

The trouble you have with soil supreme is that its not really soil. Its a blend of peat and pytocell with a little hormone added. It's like a pot noodle lol has substance but no nutritional benefits. You don't have much of a buffer there so you may find using RO and buffering with CalMag may cause more issues than if you was to just use tap water. Even their soft water nutrients expect you to have a little background EC.

I will check soil PH when lights come on. Soil supreme? Is that who make the plant magic line? The reason i didn't use tap water is because the water in my house is harder than Mike Tyson, looks like a cup of chalk whereas the water i use for work is pure, between 0 and 5 PPM. So you think 50/50 RO-Tap water? I appreciate the help @seymore_budz thanks.

Yup soil supreme is their bog standard soil in the black bags. I have the same issue here, the tap water is terrible and can kill a pump in less than three months. Plant Magic hasn't really been designed around RO water though. First thing I would do is check if your bottles are hard water or soft water mix because if you're in a HW area theocal growshops probably only stock HW.

Problem is. I didn't buy the nutrients they came with an un-open bag of pm+ soil and the rest of the equipment i bought from a friend of a friend. Just used what i had at hand the only thing i have bought for this grow so far was the ac infinity. I never go to grow shops. Normally done online. I can't tell on my bottle as there is nothing saying, for hard/soft water but ill attatch a pic of them. Maybe different bottle designs? Either way ill mix 50/50 tap water RO until i get an ec pen.

[Guest]

I just ordered a new pen, they're getting much better for price now by looks of it.

Waiting for mine now in post.

[Herbalist]

Suppose if I'm going to buy one anyway, might as well try coco next...
