Hello-
I am running Sour Diesel from clone. The plants pictured are one month old from clone. Each one is in rockwool, cloned in 2" blocks and transplanted into 4x4x2.5" blocks. After cloning I put them on the same nutrient solution as my mothers which was 15ml/gal each part of Motherplant A+B and vegged them for a week. The PH was then 5.7 always, and the tank measured 1.8ec. They were dark green, perfect leaves without bends, looking beautiful as ever.
I then was talked into trying canna aqua. I mixed up the tank to the recommended 12ml/gal for veg which measured out to 1.7ec, but ph'd to 4.9! So i added PH up until the tank was 5.5 and let it sit. I then watered the plants and immediately my leaves started showing rust spots, chlorosis and praying for magnesium. They started burning almost instantly when canna hit their roots, within 1 hour of staring at them to be exact.
So I took the tray to the sink and flushed them out, then set the cube ph again with PH'd water to 5.5 and let them sit. I then mixed up the minimum solution of canna aqua a+b of 8ml/gal and tested the tank again. 1.2ec, 4.9ph.. this was getting old. So much for canna, it wont dial. ;(
So I went to the store and picked up all 3 bottles of GH 3-Part Flora and the Floralicious+. I have tried 3-2-1, or 12-6-3 per gallon, or 5ml per gal each part and now 8ml/gal each part of GH but my plants are showing even further magnesium deficiencies and will not grow right at all!
My tap water measures .4 ec, and Ph is 8.7 when it comes out. my current tank of GH has the following in it:
8ml G/M/B
1ml Floralicious+
2.5ml/gal Sweet (epsom source)
2ml/gal Calmag
These are per gallon w/ 6 gallons total and 22 drops of Ph down total
This measures ec 1.8, ph 5.7

What is going on here? PureBlendPro and I have no problems, but since switching to canna and now GH I cannot get these plants to grow green or normal at all. I have never had to purchase hard water nutrients, things just typically balance right when mixed up + or - a few drops of ph down or up.
Picture 1 is before the madness started. The rest are just 2 weeks later :mad0229: Help!
