Just joined and would like some input. My first DWC, been doing good so far. Had a pH drop and caught it within a day or so but looks like it gave me issues ( calcium deficiency? ) on week 7 of flower. I've added cal-mag. Let me know.

I don’t see a deficiency from the photos. Only a bit of nutrient burn on the leaf tips.
Are you using plain tap water? If so, cal-mag might be unnecessary.Last edited by Toker1; 05-24-2019, 01:25 PM.4x4 600w HID empty for summer

Water about 60, lights on 68- 73, lights off 55. And pH normally sits at the 6.0 +/-.Comment

I mix nutrients and pH to the 6.5 (or just under I don't have a pH meter just drops) and at refills pH to just below the 6 range and monitor till next switch. I had the one pH drop to 5 out of nowhere. Thankfully it was a water change day. Flushed with ph'ed water then back to fresh mix just below the 6.5. Days later I saw the spots. I'll take better pictures soon.Comment

I will be inspecting deep tomorrow after finding this. So far this looks to be the only part affected.

But back to the leaf spots. It is on a different limb from the rot I just found. Picture above the bud rot pics. I ruled it as calcium deficiency, was I wrong? It's only on a few of the biggest water leaves about half way to the top of the plant.Comment

Thank you guys (or gals) for the input. I'll flush and remix in the 6 ish range.
I cut about an inch below the rot and it's nice and green there.
I think I have only a week or two before harvest so fingers crossed.Comment

Update:
no more signs of bud rot (hell yeah)
got some minor foxtailing ( fist style growing) could be normal for this girl was told she is northern lights when I got her. But this continuing new growth is mostly on the top colas.
Trichomes are mainly cloudy and seeing some amber at the 70% dark hair point.
as of now I'm planing on flushing in a few days for the harvest.
Input is appreciated.Last edited by Stickybeard; 06-01-2019, 02:43 PM.Comment

Looking really good Stickybeard you are definitely good to start flushing and depending on how you like your buzz can harvest within the next two weeks.
Foxtailing is not a bad thing unless it grows a larger one, Iv always looked at it as "bud swelling" and a bigger yield.

Thanks for taking a look.
I'm going to give her a 3-5 day flush and thank her for doing so well. This is my first hydro grow and I like the technical aspects of it, makes for a good hobby.
I cheated and took a small clipping a week ago , let it dry, and tryed it out last night.
it can only get better.
The yield looks like it is going to be better than I expected as well.Comment

really good buds there.big and well formedComment

I harvested Shortstack today. I got far more than I expected. I may try to post a 'post grow journal' on this one. I've tons of pics and used a few different training methods as well. I'll post the dry weight hopefully in a week or so.
thank you again.
