I think I have a cal mag deficiency. I fed a couple times then just PH 6.5 for two weeks . Then issue started to appear on fan leaves . Been feeding the last 2-3 times. Using botinacare nutes and using 5ml cal mag per gallon. Will this clear up soon ?

Hard to tell with the led light, but looks like ca/mg issue. I'd foliar for faster results.

I deal with this chlorosis on and off...is this magnesium deficiency?? I think its the strain I have must be mag hungry? Leaves are also curling under so I'm beginning to think nitrogen overload with a mag deficiency or lockout ...I try to keep it simple but this chlorosis drives me crazy...thank you all for your help

There is no such thing as a “calmag” deficiency, it’s calcium or it’s magnesium. In your case it appears to be calcium. It looks like you’re feeding the right strength, it may be a pH lock out of some sort.

Yes, you have a magnesium deficiency. I would recommend a tablespoon of Epsom salt, per gallon, when you feed.

Thanks...still learning!I guess Dyna Gro is just a little off for me...been using their Mag Pro and Foliage Pro...feels like just a bit too much Nitrogen, not enough mag...will do a quick flush then probably will Starr supplementing botanicare Cal-Mag or Epsom salts...will have to feel it out...was leaning more towards Epsom salts...i have my Hanna meter so all easy to keep track of

Be careful with the cal-mag. It has a 2-0-0 rating. So if you want to add magnesium without adding nitrogen, and you’re not trying to also correct a calcium deficiency, go with Epsom salts.

I'm switching back to Grow..Foliage-pro seems to have just a tad bit too much nitrogen for my liking, although still an awesome product..

Start at a tablespoon per gallon, whatever ppm that is, and adjust as needed. Epsom salts are not really salt. It’s magnesium sulfate.

All looks normal in my opinion. The rest looks healthy, first grow by any chance? Once they develop a little more I'm sure they will flatten out. Chill Winston! :)
