Hello people!
I have some problems with my grow. I have three different strains growing and they are showing similar spots on them. I've looked thru all the guides here and I can't make any conclusions.
Since the spots which all of these problems primarily started with indicate a calcium deficiency I was really surprised, since my tap water is very hard and definitely has a lot of calcium in it. I had some of the calcium deficiency spots but also rust colored spots that started around the tips of the leaves and spread inwards. Predominantly on the fan leaves closest to the lights.
I see some similarities to light burn and phosphorus deficiencies due to overwatering in there too. I fixed these things accordingly.
I tried watering with a mix of rainwater and water from the dehumidifier ph'd to 6,5 for few days and corrected the water regimen to be more specific to individual plant need (lift the pot method). But that kind of made it escalate fast on the worst effected plants and some on the others as well.
As you can see, I have rust colored fan leaves, calcium spots and a whole lot of other signs of deficiencies going on. What's happening?
I think maybe what I'm using could a "soilless media" , could it be lockout of nutrients since I ph the water after soil requirerments? I added some bacteria and mycorhiza to it, that doesn't make it soil like i'm thinking?
Or my tap water quality although I mix it with rain and destilled water? I added calmag and maybe it's too MUCH calcium and it starts problems?
Please let me know if you have any ideas on what the problem could be. I try to list as much of the specs here:
Light: 4*400w Solarsystem LED
Media: 40% Peat 40% Vermiculite 20% Perlite
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients - sometimes adding own diluted urine and home made worm compost tea
Water sources: 30% filtered well water 0,8 EC - 50% rainwater 0,04 EC - 20% destilled water from dehumidifier 0,0 EC - makes finished water solution around
Ventilation: In- and outtake fan, more than enough for room size
Temp: 24-25 celsius at daytime - 21-22 celsius at night
Humidity: 60-70%
