pick up the black lid and take picture of the roots.

update: lol my bad, i thought the hydro pibbles were inside of a mesh lid. I guess you can't take picture of the roots.

I'm pretty sure it's not a mite issue

How do you suggest I take a picture of the roots. I asked you that as a reply to my own question. As you can see my name is fitting.

I've had mites before on a different grow. They were spotted spider mites tho. I could see them. Like you say little dots moving around. But I dont see anything like that here.

Fwiw russet mites are impossible to see without a high power magnifyer. Even then.. They are impossibly small and nothing like spider mites.

That chart is wrong, Calcium is immobile in the plant, not mobile.

Also, I never said "deficiency"..I said issue. Probably plenty, just not totally available. Adding calmag is gonna make it worse. You seem to have figured that out already though

Understanding calcium and how it "works" with cannabis is a big step for all growers because it behaves very differently than the rest of the nutrients. It's "picky" is my best way to describe it lol

Plus, this is really minor stuff we're talking based on your pics but its great that you're all over it. ❀❀

Did I miss something? These are in hydroton correct? Are they pure hydro, drain to waste or flood and drain?

Well I'm just gonna leave this here. Looks like root issues, possibly bugs, ph, feed frequency, root rot... and or transpiration issues because of roots or high humidity and poor airflow.

If they are in hydroton like that they should be fed almost constantly.

I think an explanation of exactly what theybare in and exactly how you are feeding them may help.

Its constant flow there are no drippers on the tubes so nutes constantly flow through the hydroton. This isn't my first grow just the first time iv had this problem. This is my first grow in the new closet i built so It could be an environmental issue.

Ok and what are the temps and are you using anything to prevent root rot?

It could be as simple as your humidity and im kinda leaning that way but just covering it all. I have seen twisted deformed growth also from root pests or unhealthy roots. Which is why I'm asking these questions.

It drains very well so I dont think its root rot although I'm only feeding it megacrop. Nothing else.

In any hydroponic or aeroponic system which is pretty close to what your are doing i would suggest enzymes and either southern ag fungicide or hydrogaurd. Especially where you cant see the roots.

Have you grown this way before? I would think growth rates would be extremely good if you can keep the roots healthy.

Yeah likely RH. But I would suggest enzymes and a bacteria source containing bacillus amyloliquefaciens.
