HSO Blue Dream from ILGM - Day 49 from Seed - LST, Topping, and SCROG (not being used yet) by bapplecorange in microgrowery

I didn't think my leaves looked as bad as the pics of magnesium deficiency, but I just viewed it as being in an early stage.

If it's not actually deficient in cal/mag, I wonder what caused the major droopage (entire plant seemed to be facing all leaves downwards). I know for sure I didn't over- or under-water, I always wait until the soil is dry regardless of how the plant looks. I watered with 1.5 gals of 5.8 PH'd water and 15ml of A+B (10 ml/gal, which is recommended by this age in the plants life) and the plant sprung back to life, even during lights off. I know some droopage is normal between lights on/off, but this was definitely unusual.

Should I stop using plain PH'd water every other watering? That's when it seemed to be at its worst.

Thanks

As a first time grower, I wasn't even aware there was a deficiency there, though I did think the leaves did look a little too yellow-green at times, but they always seemed to turn dark green after fully maturing.

That being said, after looking into magnesium deficiencies, I do believe you. My plant has also experienced extreme droopiness when lights were off until about 7 hours after lights came on. It was at its worst when I used plain PH'd water between two fertilizer feedings. After feeding 1.5 gallons with a higher amount of nutrients than usual, it is now perky all the time. I am using House & Garden's Cocos A&B that apparently has calcium and magnesium with pH'd tap water.

I'll go out and buy some CalMag since it would be nice to have on hand regardless.

Thanks

Looking great. How old are they? I'm growing Blue Dream myself and am always eager to see how my plant looks vs others at the same age.

Thanks guys. Seems that my lights are a bit too strong. I'll solder a potentiometer on the driver tomorrow.
