What are you adjusting the ph down to? Have you had a chance to check out Joefresh's sick plant guide? I've been getting calcium deficiency's at about week 3-4 of 12/12 with an amended organic mix that wasn't hydrated for enough time before use.

i havent checked it out im kinda new i most definitely will though. i have been adjusting to 7 but tonight when i water im going to check everything a lot closer maybe recalibrate my pen try my other one do it the manual way with the drops and get more information

 

[jdyer23]

its in its early stages but ive got a lot invested in this and need to fix it asap i may have bit off more then i can chew but am still enjoying the gardening and loving it

HOW TO FIX CALCIUM PROBLEM

HOW TO FIX CALCIUM PROBLEM

ALl you gotta do is dilute 1 tablespoon WHOLESOME organic blackstrap molasses to every 1 gallon of water and give that to ur plants but first top dress your medium with dolomite lime(powdered) cover the whole surface with a thin layer than add ur molasses to that. fixes calcium problems within 5 days
Cheers

 

[jdyer23]

Can't wait to try! Thanks for the advice

 

[jdyer23]

Thanks I will try tomorrow! Fingers crossed really hoping to beat this

 

[jdyer23]

Another question I would have is so everything looked top not h prestine super healthy until week 3 of flower. So with that being said should I go into my veg room currently all green and healthy and do the same not use molasses but as in top dress with the dolomite like or should I be waiting until they are flipped to use the lime like in week 2 before they start fading

 

[jdyer23]

My garden store only had a few small boxes of dolomite lime they had pellets and powderized lime would powderized work the same

 

[jdyer23]

Or powderized hydrated lime I should say
