I read that cal-mag deficiencies only appear on the lower leaves, due to the plant getting nutrients from lower leaves to feed new growth? Also, I give 3ml p.gal of calimagic with my feed, and also dilute to the proper ec with cal-mag water, still think it’s a mag deficiency?add 1g epsom salt per gallon of solution you're feeding with. that's starting mag def.
Will one watering with Epsom salts do the trick? Or do I repeat it every other feeding until new growth is greener? Also,how long could I wait and see to make sure it’s mag def before I give ‘‘em the epsom?drop your pH to 5.8. a lot of growers say 6.0 is on target for coco but I disagree. 5.8 is the money shot.
it could be light bleaching as well. i used to run calimagic, it's great shit. but your plants are showing mag def imo. not necessarily light burn since the edges of the leaves are level, not turned up. coco is a mag whore, sucks it up like it's a two cent john.
they're looking super healthy otherwise. finally into veg and taking off. just wanna head off that lightness in the varigations before they become necrotic.
given your new thread, hold off on the epsom salt. bump up your nutrients by 0.2 EC. Wait a couple days and do it again until you see runoff equal to input.Will one watering with Epsom salts do the trick? Or do I repeat it every other feeding until new growth is greener?

I won't go into calcium because the issue does look like magnesium usually when the veins stay green and in-between turn yellow it's magnesium deficiency. You mentioned since a mobile nutrient why are the new foliage the way they are well...what leaves do they they have to take from lol the plants are small and you are doing good
Gotcha, so basically since the plant is still young it’s gonna take nutrients from new growth cuz it’s “desperate” for some magnesium in this case. I’m upping the ec by 100ppm/.2ec today, hope that works. I’m on week two of the general hydro flora 6 part. Thanks for the advice, this forum is a godsend.I won't go into calcium because the issue does look like magnesium usually when the veins stay green and in-between turn yellow it's magnesium deficiency.

It's more like there's not much foliage if it was a bigger bushy plant 4 weeks in vegg with more nodes and foliage it would have taken from lower foliage but since it looks like it only got 2-3 nodes it's still young it's gonna be all affected but the signs of magnesium deficiency is veins stay green and between starts to yellow almost think of it like prison uniform but green and yellow instead of black and whiteGotcha, so basically since the plant is still young it’s gonna take nutrients from new growth cuz it’s “desperate” for some magnesium in this case.

nothing is written in stone I always wait until 5 nodes sometime I grow out the plant more and when I see it's developed but not too tall have to account for stretching I might top 7 nodes and lolipop the bottom foliage at the same timeCurrently working on the 4th node. Actually, speaking of nodes, i want to top these plants, should I top the next node that comes up, in this case the 5th node? Worried i should have topped at the 4th node. Trying to follow the groweedeasy 4 way low stress training guide.
Here is one if the girls, shes thic lolnothing is written in stone I always wait until 5 nodes sometime I grow out the plant more and when I see it's developed but not too tall have to account for stretching I might top 7 nodes and lolipop the bottom foliage at the same time
Ye I'd let her grow out a lil more eventually that 1st node your gonna lolipop maybe even the second if you don't top she will grow faster right now and won't need recovery which might set u back a week but all is looking good just be patientHere is one if the girls, shes thic lol

Thanks for the advice, i wanna make sure these girls will fit in my scrog so thinking topping the next node. Do the plants always take around a week to recover from topping? I thought it didn't stress them to muchYe I'd let her grow out a lil more eventually that 1st node your gonna lolipop maybe even the second if you don't top she will grow faster right now and won't need recovery which might set u back a week but all is looking good just be patient
What makes you think cutting their heads off isn’t stressful? Lol topping is high stress trainingThanks for the advice, i wanna make sure these girls will fit in my scrog so thinking topping the next node. Do the plants always take around a week to recover from topping? I thought it didn't stress them to much
I just meant that i didn't know topping would take a week to recover from. When would you start topping the plant in the photo? Makes sense tho that a beheading is kind of stressful lol.What makes you think cutting their heads off isn’t stressful? Lol topping is high stress training
It's really not stressful at all. Topping a healthy, fast growing plant won't slow it down one bit. It might seem like the plant quit growing, but it didn't stop. It just turned new growth to stems, roots and branches. Once the stalk and roots grow for a few days and are big enough to support them, the branches take off.I just meant that i didn't know topping would take a week to recover from.
