Hey All,
I am 3 weeks into flower with Blue Widow growing in RDWC. I have been running Lucas in the past and kept getting spots like you see below. I have tried a number of changes on successive crops and thought that I finally had it worked out. Everything was looking perfect until a few days ago and the spots are showing up.
Setup:
12/12 under HPS
RDWC running Snype's nute regimen. Similar to Lucas but with a 1:1.5 ratio instead of 1:2 and adding KoolBloom 1.25gm/gal at day 14 flower.
PH 5.8-6.1
TDS 700 (.5 scale)
My PH sat solid at 6.0 for quite some time.
Air temps: 68-75F
RH: 50-65%
The affected leaves were just upper fan leaves to start with. Now I am seeing some sign of the same on the very lowest fan leaves.
The symptoms look to me like either Phosphorus or Calcium deficiency. In the past I have added CalMag when I started seeing these spots. No change with the CalMag. That led me to believe that it may be a Phosphorous deficiency. With the switch in nute regimen I though I had it resolved. The addition of KoolBloom hits the K & P pretty hard. Unfortunately I am seeing spots again......
Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think? Is it Phophorous? Calcium? Could I be locking Calcium out at PH 6.0-6.1??
What do you all think?
