Looking good man. If you want to replace that foil in a pinch, you could go grab a pack of white printer paper and stick that to your wall, may have to go two sheets thick but it will reflect that light a lot better. Mylar blankets at Walmart are also pretty cheap. Find them in the camping section.

Thank you! I actually have some white plain paper. I was going to do a flat white paint on the walls but a lot more of a hassle than paper lol

6 weeks in veg today! She’s really been growing the last week which is awesome. Does anyone have advice on how long I should keep her in veg before switching her over to flower?

When you would have serious space problems if she doubled in size, you need to switch. Other than that, personal preference.

Thank you for the info! Luckily my space I pretty tall and wide so I have some space to let her fill out

I’m now 7 weeks into veg and I have started noticing rust spots on my leaves :/ I’m guessing I need to get some cal-mag. Probably should have added some dolomite lime to my soil. I’ve checked my ph and everything is good there. Any suggestions?

 

[SyLane0988]

I have some cal-mag coming tomorrow. The damage is definitely spreading :/ I’m really hoping it’s due to a calcium deficiency.

 

[Milson]

I don't have much experience with this, but from what I know your diagnosis sounds reasonable.

That does make me feel better, thank you!

calcium deficiency is indeed. In addition, calcium is most easily absorbed at pH 6.2-6.5
U do the great job .

Thank you! Once I get my cal-magic tomorrow hopefully she turns around quick!

 

[SyLane0988]

Cal-mag should be here today. She is looking so much worse than yesterday. Her fan leaves feel brittle and are curling under. I checked the PH of my water again yesterday and I was wrong in thinking it was at the right PH the last couple of watering :/ so I think that led to the calcium deficiency. My PH was at 7.5-8. No good. I’ll be adjusting the PH when I water with the cal-mag supplement. Anyone think she can still be saved? I’m only a couple weeks out from switching to flower (max).

 

[Milson]

She can definitely be saved. If your ph was high before, try just giving her some ph'd water. Could be a bit of a lockout situation maybe...

Also...how long has she been in that pot? NOT saying to repot, just wondering because she looks pretty good sized.

What is the RH in her room?

Also, the plants do weird things with their leaves as they are into 12/12...

BREATHE!!!!

Hey, thank you for that info! Are you recommending on waiting to use the cal-mag and only watering with ph’d water at first? When would you recommend adding the cal-mag supplement? She was repotted about 2-3 weeks ago. I would like to report her in a bigger pot, the one I have is 3 gallon and I know a 5 gallon is preferred. I just wanted to see her recover before I stress her out with repotting. I keep the humidity a little higher because I live in a very dry area. And thank you, I’ve been more and more stressed each time I check on her

 

[Milson]

If you know you have a pH problem, then I would just give her pH'd water before adding cal mag. A pH problem could explain this because it affects mag absorbtion. Mag gets absorbed best at like 6.5. I also think cal mag usually raises pH.

Sweet, thank you! I’ll start with the ph’d water and go from there. If I continue to see the rust spots spreading I’ll start adding in the cal-mag, check the ph after adding the cal-mag to the water and make sure it’s at the correct ph and then water her with that.

That should work. Honestly, if your pH looks good after watering today (you are checking runoff, right?) when it was previously off, I bet she already looks at least somewhat better tomorrow morning.
