Why are you adding cal mag to tap water? I only add cal mag to RO water. Check the water company in your are. If they add chloramine to your water instead of just chlorine it won't gas off sitting out for 24 or 49 hours. Chloramine is chlorine bonded to ammonia and does not gas off well.

I had a cal def. using only tap water. Started adding cal mag and a week later they looked perfect. I've read that some tap water doesn't have the proper cal and mag to supply your plants.

i wasn't adding any cal/mag to my tap. Im using distilled for time being. Cal/mag will be added to that. Very little at first in combination with Veg+Bloom. I've not feed it at all except a Epsom foilar to help what seemed to be mag problem. But i agree some water sups may not have enough cal. Some (especially in my case, which is why im using distilled) ppm rates could be due to other metals

You get it figured out yet bro?

burn4me · Apr 17, 2014

Yeah spots were mag im guessing because i treated it as such with epsom and its ok now. As for my sativa pretty sure its K. Will be giving first feed with v+b soon. Its NPK is 8-5-13 so i hope it helps. Probably give it a little heavier than the 2 indicas. That's for asking. Hope to get it figured out. Now my clones on the other hand is killing me. Im going to just invest in rapid rooters or something because idk if i did something or they just aint digging my soil mix. They aren't as droopy as yesterday though so maybe there's hope yet. Im going to keep em till they whither and die if thats the case. Lol

My tap water is around 330 ppm which is crazy, that's with nothing added. Kinda gross to think people drink that. I'm going to switch back to distiller but it gets pricey

yes it does and only gets worse with added plants. Mine is temporary fix until RO filter system is up at my homies. He's setting up a 55 gal drum reservoir for the both of us to use. Id say save for one or a carbon treatment should do away with a lot of junk in it.

I managed to keep a couple late stage flower clones alive, check it out:
Before

Week later

Idk what i did but i will improve with this curve. Maybe just a different mix. Thinking coco to clone. Seems legit and i gotta find something. Rapid rooters being next in line after a couple trials with coco if it dont work for me. Doubt that's the case i hope. If all else fails then aero cloner at a friends is gonna have to do.

It will start to change back too it's veg stage with 18 or 24 hrs of light

I say go for the Coco like the hemppy style I used tap water that sat for a day added 4 tablespoons AZOS to gl water seagreen and mixed it up drained excess and covered 5 days then 6thday uncovered 4hrs covered then removed the cover all together when I saw the roots on the side of the bottle. worked 100%
