THANKS FOR ANY HELP !
 
I

icmag.is.#1

Looks like a calcium and/or potassium deficiency

Pictures 2 and 3 counting up from the bottom I have no idea what that could be but maybe it's one of the micro nutrients missing?

aqua vega A + B does not have any calcium from what I can see in the ingredients.

Do you have any molasses in the house?

hi mate , when i first started using aqua i never read the back of the bottle properly , then checked the web site at canna , and found i was not setting the ph right .... because i was growing in pebbles the ph used to be all over the place up and down . i think either dont adjust your ph at all , i used to set mine at 5.2 and leave it . i had the best results that way .

heres a link to the page at canna that explains the aqua nutes and how it sets its own ph ... you may all ready know this , but i thought i put it in just incase others are not sure about the aqua

here is an extract from the canna page , there is alot of other info with graphs .

hope this helps mate ..

Due to the fact that the plant does not absorb all nutrients in equal amounts and speed, the composition and acid level of the nutrient solution changes throughout the course of time. CANNA Aqua is composed in such a way that the plant is always able to absorb a sufficient amount of the correct nutrient elements and arrange the pH itself. Like this, the pH always remains within the optimum boundaries. The pH fluctuates within the optimum values of 5.2 and 6.2 (N.B. when the roots strike, this value can be exceeded for a moment) and does not need to be adjusted. The graph shows the natural pH development (without adjustments).
