also tap water is fine to use, is something wrong with yours?
I have a suspicion he is on the same tap water as me and if so it is perfectly fine. I run my RDWC on it

ok i don’t think your light is the problem, looks to me like it may need magnesium?
better wait to see if we get a few replies confirming this..

Now you need to recheck with your PAR meter and see if that made an actual difference to wattage (par should be lower if it did) or if that is just how the programming shows on the user interface of the master controller.
It's not a big deal to add cal/mag but you do need to be aware of the mineral deficiencies and take them into account. Chlorine is def something you don't want in your water.I figured making RO water would let me take all of the guess work out of it but I guess not, lol.
Looks like a candidate. t's mobile so new leaves will rob it from older leavesYellow between veins... mag deficiency?
I honestly have no idea. When I started researching watering practices for organic grows I would frequently run across growers expressing concerns about high levels of chlorine and its impact on the microbial environment. Letting the tap water gas-off seemed reasonable but then I read some concerns that chloramine (which is in my water) makes the chlorine more stable and less likely to gas off. I figured making RO water would let me take all of the guess work out of it but I guess not, lol.
Here's the latest report if anyone is up for some light reading... heh
Sorry, I should have included that info as it was the first thing I checked, lol. There was no change, so apparently it was just a matter of how the wattage was being calculated for display.
Great concise vid there. Good stuff, ty. And yes, a mag-deficiency certainly looks like the most likely candidate based on all the pics I keep seeing. Now I just need to decide what to do about it, hehLooks like a candidate. t's mobile so new leaves will rob it from older leaves
What are you using for the cal/mag solution in your grow? I saw you were initially making your own but I didn't see if that's still the case. My leaves do look suspiciously similar to yours in Early June. I'd love to add something for today's watering if I can find it locally.It's not a big deal to add cal/mag but you do need to be aware of the mineral deficiencies and take them into account.

I make my own cal/mag out of eggshells, vinegar and epsom salts. Eggshells give you the calcium, the vinegar creates a chemical reaction that strips the calcium off the eggshells, and the epsom salts give you the magnesium. This eggshells and vinegar makes your calcium concentrate, which I mix 1 tbsp per gal of water and then add 1 tsp of epsom salts.Now I just need to decide what to do about it, heh
It takes a few days (I went a week) for the vinegar to neutralize and strip off the calcium. You could at least give some epsom salts next time you feed/water or buy some cal/mag if you can get it local.I'd love to add something for today's watering if I can find it locally.
1 teaspoon per gallon.I suppose I would start with 1 Tbs per gallon, so ~5 Tbs between 5 plants today?
You're doing a great job for your first grow. Def time to sit down with a little Sweet Leaf and some early Black SabbathMaybe what its REALLY time for is to smoke a bowl, play a game or something, and relax.
+11 teaspoon per gallon.
+1000 :)Maybe what its REALLY time for is to smoke a bowl, play a game or something, and relax.
This. Good on you for calling it.Honestly though, I think trying to diagnose this leaf situation is just going to lead me to start second guessing everything going on with my grow. Maybe what its REALLY time for is to smoke a bowl, play a game or something, and relax.
