CAL/MAG PLUS from Botanicare
CAL/MAG PLUS from BotanicareNot because of lack of cal. 3ml/gal? What brand that's a fuck ton if its GH and also high in nitrogen.
Ok not so bad.. even 2 ml a gal should be good. Still high in nitrogen and looking at those plants there is a lot in the soil and you ph is likely very low in the soil. And that will lock out calcium.CAL/MAG PLUS from Botanicare
I don't have how to test runoff Ph. but i always make sure that the water is between 6-7. i will stop the cal mag, What about if i change from RO water to Bottled spring water. about ph, last watering the ph was 8.0 and i leave it like that because the guys on recharge website says this!!!!!!What's ur runoff ph? It's looking like a ph issue to me.
I might be a little slow here cause I'm not a dirt guy or organic.
And stop that cal mag. Of RO 1ml per gal is good
Water in means nothing... It's the buffering capacity and ph of the soil that will change what you put into it.I don't have how to test runoff Ph. but i always make sure that the water is between 6-7. i will stop the cal mag, What about if i change from RO water to Bottled spring water.
they guys Nature living soil also says that you should runoff the water of your fabric pot, that will kill the micro organism in the soil. im new in this my friend, im doing what i can during this journey. now i feel im going to lose my plants. this sucksWater in means nothing...

Best done when feeding but for the sake of knowing you can pour some water through and catch the water that runs out the bottom. Then test the ph of that water.
I get it and yes you don't usually do that. But you do when you are in soil using inorganic salts because you have to in order to prevent a nutrient buildup.they guys Nature living soil also says that you should runoff the water of your fabric pot, that will kill the micro organism in the soil. im new in this my friend, im doing what i can during this journey. now i feel im going to lose my plants. this sucks
@Aqua Man this may sound stupid for you but i have to ask.... Should i Run clear water trough my plants until all i see coming from the bottom is just clean water??? this plants are in fabric potsWater in means nothing...

I can't answer that until we know the ph of the run off. Just enough water to get enough runoff to test for now.@Aqua Man this may sound stupid for you but i have to ask....

No, i don't have a ppm meter. all i can do now its wait and watch my plants drinks all the water i give them yesterday. test runoff water Ph next time. then if the plants still alive, found how to feed them so i can harvest them.I can't answer that until we know the ph of the run off.

Do you have a ppm meter also?
And no not a stupid question at all
Sure by all means. I'm not really a organic guy and new to soil so not sure how much help I can be but no harm in asking man.No, i don't have a ppm meter. all i can do now its wait and watch my plants drinks all the water i give them yesterday. test runoff water Ph next time. then if the plants still alive, found how to feed them so i can harvest them.
thank you very much for your help @Aqua Man I don't have too much luck finding people willing to help. i wish keep contact with you, so i can fix y plants. can i?

I do have a decent understanding of soil and microbes though. More from a hydroponic side of things but very similar
Ok now i agree with this calcium deficiency, and i think the problems start with the RO WATER I BEEN USING DURING THE GROW. that water removed all minerals in the soil, i used CAL/MAG PLUS for the first time in 3 weeks of flower and only ONCE.He is right that its a calcium deficiency. But I'm not sure why he thinks eggshells will work if calmag isnt.. it's a lockout situation. No Ca is getting in until you figure out why its locked out.
Ph of the water doesn't really matter it's the amount of carbonate or bicarbonate that will alter or raise the ph of the soil and it's very uncommon to see this.I think that eggshells in the garden take months to break down into usable ca. There is plenty of ca in your soil. You e locked it out by over watering/over feeding. If your water going in is way out of ph range then fix it. Otherwise do not water to run off. That’s too wet. Do not add cal-mag or salt Nutes. Water with adjusted water and do it conscientiously so that nothing is drowning in moisture. Let things dry out a bit and don’t add anything. It’ll work itself out. The thing with living soil is that your choises are made before the grow starts.
