looks like calcium issues to me but im no expert. seems like lots of calcium if you have hard water and are feeding calmag every water and every 48 hrs.

I do a light feeding with every watering only hitting them hard twice in flowering.

Sorry I didn't clarify, but I only feed calmag twice in flowering.


Currently flushing...

its cool the form is a bit wordy sometimes lol. maybe its a calmag deficiency then. i have been using the lucas formula with floranova and noticed some issues like that. i was feeding at 450 ppm every water, the sweet doenst ride the ppm, but sweet i used at 1.2 strength.... so i checked the ppm of the runoff, like i do every 3 waterings and found that the plants had 100-200 ppm of nutes in them, as a result of my light feeding. i said f it ad went with 1000 pppm last feeding. i gues i will use this ppm every other feeding so my levels stay in the 1000-1400 range,,,anyways if you are flushing its probly not to big of a deal.

it does look like a cal. mag. deficiency to me, and i noticed that i had to use high ppm's with floranova grow and bloom. I even added epsom salts, but be careful not to go overboard. ajust slowly with soil.

Yo guy. I had this same problem before. I found out I had a wrench that somehow fell in the bottom of my resvoir and got rusty. It then made rust spots everywhere. I think its a calcium defiency but anyways i cleaned and flushed and the problem went away. Hope you got the problem under control. Peace
