water ph is 7.3, after nutes i ph it to 6.0 ( im growing in soilless hydro )Unless my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, they just look a little hungry.
What's your water's pH and PPM/EC ? Before and after nutes.
thanks, i have read though that going lower on ph actually honders magnesium uptake though, so going to try to keep it at 6, i have a new ph pen which i will be able to get the ph correct from now on.That sounds like you're on the right track. Before you go "full dose" of cal mag try taking the pH down to 5.8 and see if that helps. But yes most likely cal mag will resolve your issue, good looking plants otherwise :)
personally i think your better moving away from the organic nutes in coco you dont have the same bio diversity in the coco as in soil to get the benefits. In five years ive only ever added cal mag once (and dont think it was even needed) and i'm in coco..but thats just my opinion.water ph is 7.3, after nutes i ph it to 6.0 ( im growing in soilless hydro )
tds is something arpund 600-700 havent checked it for awhile its an organic nute.
im pretty sure its magnesium defiency, i was looking for a confirmation though.
its a coco peat mix and i have only fed with cal mag ONCE in 60 days and when i did it was a light feeding, so im thinking a full dose of cal mag next watering should clear it up.
does that sound like the case?

ive googled this a bunch and canna terra pro plus is set to 5.8-6.2 +/- .2 so 6.0 seems to be the best for it, going to try a different medium next time i think when i run out of all the stuff i got nowI like 6.2/6.3 for coco. But my pH is never the same for each feed. Usually 5.9 - 6.3 any given feed.
how much did you yield off of a plant? i have a single original glue in a 10 gallon smart pot, my goal is to get a lb off the plant, which may not happen but its still what i am shooting for. it looks like this today.I grew Original Glue last summer, great strain. You'll like the high

before that i had a cheapy ph pen and it was off .3 at the least, so hopefully that little bit of ph being off couldve been the issue the whole time
Mine were grown outside. I never weighed the dry weight. One plant yielded 18 lbs of green, trimmed bud on the stem. I'd guess 2.5 to 3 lbs dry.

its the one on the left the other one is a white rhino, both are from nirvana seeds
usually 10-15 min, after i ph everything i set all the gallons aside and usually smoke a bowl and get the plants ready to water and then re test the water one more time before pouring into my watering can and actually wateringOk but, and I should have just said this but I was only thinking it.. The reason I would try going a little lower on the pH first is because it may help Manganese uptake which is sometimes tricky to tell from magnesium deficiency.
Also when you mix your food and lower the pH of your water, how long do you let it sit before double checking the pH and feeding to your plants?
I see some purple. Does the other one have purple streaks also? If not and the strain has no purple genes ...
it does have purple streaks on the stems, i am thinking fungus gnats larvae may be causing some of my leaf issuesI see some purple. Does the other one have purple streaks also? If not and the strain has no purple genes I'd go with nutrient issue secondary to ph. Maybe recalibrate ph pen. Your tap water should have enough mag in it. However, I've never used coco. Your branching and spacing looks real nice.
