I water in 2liters each every 3-4 days i try to go by weight my clone always gets light fairly quick the one on left not so much always feels pretty heavy has little run off now used to run off plenty with 1.5liters so im very confused if its water or the nutes im using which are Roots organics Buhdda grow and Cal mag about half dose of what it says on bottleWhat are your watering habits? Are you letting them have a dry period? They look overwaterd to me.
I do Calmag & the Buhdda grow every other feeding , but these last 2-3 waterings I did a flush with pure water and what the local hydro store recommended “hygrozome” to flush out my roots their opinion was that i had a salt build up they told me i shouldnt be checking for PH with roots organic not too sure how true that is since every where else i see says to check for PH the flush seemed to have worked though they were perky for couple days until i added nutes again.Something in the nutrients they are getting is definitely off... are you feeding calmag every time? Could be the start of calcium toxicity, whichcan also lockout other nutrients... but the plump and droopy leaves make me think overwatering as well... wait on a few more opinions... what's your environment like? Temps, humidity, lights and distance, etc.
You don't usually need to worry about ph or flush in soil unless there's a major mess up... and usually symptoms you're seeing are from weeks prior. Maybe we can get some other peeps to give some sage advice...
@Aqua Man @NorthernOrganics @Moe.Red @Trustfall anyone have any thoughts if you're not too busy?
So raise the light & more Calmag ? Im currently only doing about 4ml cal mag because it says 10-15ml per gal on the bottle but im only feeding a little more than half gallon of water . I will try to up cal mag see what happens on next watering .It appears from what I see that you have a magnesium deficiency as you have yellowing going on between the veins in your leaves, especially the lower leaves from what I see in the photos. I think you need to add more Cal/mag in your watering/ feedings...and though I can't see your lights in relation to your plants, I would raise your lights up or dim them back, which is a good practice until the deficiency is corrected.
Thanks for the tag TSD. Something is wrong with the environment or watering… its not nutrients.You don't usually need to worry about ph or flush in soil unless there's a major mess up... and usually symptoms you're seeing are from weeks prior.

^^^ this is gow im thinking alsoas the plants grow taller did you raise the light?
what kind of light you using?
i think you had a light stress issue and than you thought watering,nutes, flushing etc would fix but now possibly some root rot and nutrient deficiencies have occurred..
underwatering could be an issue also..
Good to know because i was scared the nutes were too acidic my nutrient solution is always around 4.5PH and ph up would not help unless i dumped 1/4 of the bottle in one solution which i knew was wrong and stopped PHing . I thought it had something to do with water as well because that was my problem at first with the 1st 2 grow attempts
Some people live by the credo that you do not need to PH your water... that if growing in soil, the medium will buffer it to a reasonable level.
That's fine, provided the rest of your environment is in harmony.
But, If you are saying that your PH level is 4.5 and "dumping a ¼ bottle of PH UP into it" won't make it budge... then you have a problem.
I grow in soil, and I PH my water every single time to 6.3 - 6.5. Why leave that to chance when it is so easily obtained with little effort prior to feeding?
I would not put 4.5 PH water into my plants.
No sir.
Only ph doesn’t really matter. Its the alkalinity. Ph 4 water with no alkalinity is NOT the same as ph 4 water with high high amounts on alkalinitySome people live by the credo that you do not need to PH your water... that if growing in soil, the medium will buffer it to a reasonable level.
