New here - Discoloration of seedlings ( Autos) - cause for concern?

[digidemi]

Can't hurt either way, it's not really "messing" with my ph other than bringing it up a little higher but still in the good zone. Added Bonus: more nitrogen and my auto isn't showing any signs of burn, so could kick up the next change a bit in PPM if she will let me

Yea I just mean it was twice as pronounced yesterday, added cal-mag, and most of it went away and a nice growth spurt, plant is more perky than droopy. It's either a cal/mag deficiency, or the PH increase closer to 6 from cal mag fixed whatever the issue was. I did notice these nutes are pretty acidic. took my PH down to 5.4 or 5.5.

The damage will not go away. that's what i was getting at that it appears to be old damage.

Gotcha, I trimmed off almost all of the old damage previously. I'll up nutes a little more next change and leave out cal mag again and see how it goes.

Do you think that is old light burn? I did put my lights pretty low when i started until I saw that LEDs need to stay far back.

looks like an old nutrient or PH issue. I would stick to just the nutes since your using PH perfect. I would assume the old damage is from adding cal/mag and PH adjusting. I have seen several people with the similar issues using them. Its a hard concept to get but they need to just be left alone. They also should be used with RO water

I didn't cal mag or ph adjust until the damage was pronounced. Although I did run a tiny dose of nutes the first 2 weeks to play it safe since they are autos

yeah that may have been it. These nutes from my under standing should be run as directed but I wouldn't change anything until someone who uses em confirms that. They are looking much better

She's going hard man.. Rigorous LST and I'm counting 18 flowering Colas!

P-S: These nutes probably work great with photos, but suck with Autos lol
