my crop is week 3 flower and things are slowly turning lime green as per chatgpt it's mag deficiency. can anyone chime in? I do have calmag in my feed. I've heard that more cal mag is required in led set ups , is this true?

feed feed water

ph 6.1-6.5
medium is pro mix
gavita 1700
flower feed is hygrozyme A+B , calmag , grotek monster bloom, advance nutrients big bud powder

Yes but.

With the tacoing of the leaves may suggest you check your light strength.
If nothing 8 inches down is tacoing it's the lights beating up the leafs.
Quickest fix is Epsom salts via roots if you do not need the calcium of cal mag

thank you for the reply , doing a bit more digging and I got a feeling my pH run off is too low which is locking out mag. would that make sense?

this is what I have for my run off week 3 flower based on those figures I would say the mag is definitely being locked out?
ec 1.7
ppm 900
ph 5.5

The runoff EC without the input EC is not helpful. Each tells you what is going on. Reduction is good going up is bad and there are specific things you need to do in each case.
If you need some help on steering EC in a grow I can provide links and such. There are different actions to take when goes up and down and EC drops or rises.
In addition the majority of the nutes you are using have established cannabis feed charts available online. You are doubling up on bloom and to see how bad it is look to see the feed chart and what the NPK is of each of them and the amount
Now it's just math. Are you double or triple the PK requirements for cannabis.
I got no problem with multiple bottles but there are still limits to what a plant can absorb.
Good luck.
Ps never got an answer if the tacoing went lower than 8 inches down.

So plant using nutes and ppm dropping as expected. No leaf issues on lowers like tacoing. Now do you see the same intervein issues on the lower that we see on the upper. Every top not just pictured. Just the new growth whole plant.
