Hi guys.
First grow here and need some advice.
My first grow has been going well up until this point. I started seeing some dark spots on the leaves and reddish leaf stems. After some digging my conclusion is that the plant has some Phosphorus or Calcium deficiency.
Also, I'm using a crappy PH soil meter that a month ago was reading 6.0 to 6.5 and now I'm seeing 5. Watered only using distilled water and got another batch of it 2 weeks ago.
Regarding the watering part, what I think I may have done is water the plants a bit too early, not letting the first inches of soil dry up.
I grow in basic plant soil that contains peat, coco fibers, clay and limestone + 30% perlite and Biobizz nutrients.
I'll put some pics down below.
Any advice on how to deal with this? What got me a bit worried was the black spots on the buds.
Was thinking of getting some Cal-Mag and add it to the feed along side with lowering the Nitrogen. For measuring the PH, I'll get a pen, the current thingy that I use doesn't look to reliable.
But I also want to hear some other thoughts, as I'm not 100% sure.
