Discoloration on leaves

[Jaden4306]

I did raise the strength of the nutrient solution up to what the feeding schedule says... I'm hoping that'll help...the buds are still growing pretty good but I want to make sure the next 4 to 5 weeks go well

Spring water will have a high PPM before adding any nutes. You must take that into account when you calculate your finished nute mix.

A pH of 5.8 is very low. It should be much higher than that. May be the cause of you Cal deficiency.

I do make sure I test the pH and the ppm's after mixing... and do you know how I can raise the pH in my soil quickly. I read raising the pH of my water solution could help but how high of a pH can I go during this stage of growth, and will it work quickly?

Measure the ppm of the water without nutes. After adding the required amount of nutes measure the ppm and pH. Raise pH to 7 or 7.2 for the next feed then keep feeding at 6.8. This will raise the pH at the roots.

Tell us what the ppm is of the spring water before adding nutes.

Can someone help me to figure out what the light brown on my leaves are...my plant is 24 days into flowering. I'm growing in soil... temperature around 77 and humidity 45%... nutrient solution pH is between 6.5 to 6.8 each feeding...

calcium deficiency

How can I add, and is it safe to add calcium at this stage of growth?

I'm supposed to be feeding today once I take my grown son's dog to get a bath and take my younger son to an important appointment. Today is plain water so I will raise my pH to 7.2 today. Thanks

generally yes, just dont overdo it. you can get balanced Ca/Mg supplements designed for flowering plants
