Growing ganga with Dreadzilla indoors

I have 3 fans in the tent. It's has been raining non stop and I have a old house that has old Jalousie windows so it's really hard sometimes. I'll hit home depot up tomorrow hopefully I can get something decent.

Just topped 2 more spk clones looking really good.

Not sure what is going on with her any ideas?

Magnesium deficiency by the look of it, but it is odd how uniform the chlorosis is. Could be too much Ca locking it out or an uptake issue due to pH/root zone issues.

Could try a foliar of Epsom and see if it picks up.

Potassium issues can also cause interveinal chlorosis which seeps in from the leaf margins too, but it's usually accompanied by tip burn and necrosis starting at the serrations so I'd lean toward magnesium.

Interesting that it's so uniform as you would usually see the issues start on the oldest leaves. Fe (iron) can cause interveinal chlorosis higher up the plant as well but that's not as common as Mg.

Whether it be deficiency from inadequate mg, lockout from pH or overwatering, or an imbalance of K-Mg-Ca ratios is where it gets hard to diagnose though.

Good luck.

Whats the light intensity like? If the root system isnt fully developed light stress can manifest that way as well.

I have a sf1000 Evo in 2x2 set to 60%.

Thanks for all that useful information

I don't know if this makes a difference but I used rain water a few times last week but I did all the plants with rain water.

There's always one that responds a bit differently. Rain water has no mineral content/ buffer and no micronutrients. Tap water generally has a good amount of Ca and Mg

Generally not an issue if you have a good feed regime or mineral rich potting mix but can push a plant into deficiency if already bordering on hungry or the mediums buffer is off.

I'd give it a light addition of cam mag or a rounded base nutrient (better option) if you plan on continuing with the rainwater. Keep in mind pH will swing faster once you add nutrients into RO or rain water as there's no mineral buffer.

I'm currently feeding flora trio 1/2 of recommended amount. Is there any real benefits using rain water or is it going to cause me more issues.

Dreadzilla · Sep 10, 2025

I really appreciate the feedback thanks

Rain water is fine if you stay on top of micros and pH. If your tap water is super hard (a high EC and large quantities of carbonate) it can also be a problem with carbonate buffer building up in the medium over time raising pH and alkalinity. It's all about balance.

Most municipal water supplies are fine to use though and provide a range of handy micronutrients. Check your water supply and if it's not overly hard (EC 0.1-0.3 or 50-150ppm) it should be fine to use.

Rain water or RO is also fine, but you will have to stay on top of pH and micronutrients. However you can have more control over macro/micro ratios if you want to get serious.

If you continue to use rainwater, check the pH as it drops due to CO2 dissolving over time and carbonic acid increasing. For example if I use rain water here with Canna Terra Flores at 4ml/L my pH drops to low 5s. In Tap water with adequate carbonate it will sit around 6.3.

I feed them today doing 1/2 of the recommended strength.

The Green Gelato got just ph'd water her leaves looked kinda dark to me.

Dreadzilla · Sep 10, 2025

The reveg spk slowly chugging along.

Dreadzilla · Sep 10, 2025

Ok so im going to stick with the tap water for now I don't wanna get ahead of myself. I will do my homework on rain water and effects once I'm a little more dialed in with everything else.

Vick_Vinegar · Sep 10, 2025

the cuts look alright. Sometimes you just get teething problems, especially with little root mass. Hopefully the other one picks up and you'll be good to go.

Looks like mg but as the one dude said your whole plant is affected if it was lacking it would start at the bottom.unless it did but you didnt look. How far is the light? Ppfd or lux?
