Military Grade Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) I use Epsom salt every feed when growing in soil with very hard water , Even if i skipped a couple of Epsom feeds they start to show signs, more so in weeks 4-6 flower this is a classic window of mag problems when the 3:1 ratio is out.

Military Grade Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 4 hours ago, The Villan said: had purple stems ever since I started using LED for some reason Too much light intensity from LED's can cause this, the way to tell when it's the light causing it is that only the upside facing parts go purple but the underside of the steams stay green 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if any of you lads using bio bizz calmag or equivalent could chip in and offer some dosages would be muchly appreciated. @ratdog @Shumroom @HazyDaze Its difficult to get a pic from above due to the shape of the attic tent. But theres a lot of nice green growth and leaves with the odd few leaves on all of the plants taking a turn for the worse I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dosage on the bottle and their feed guide for calmag is total bollocks. This youtube video has a Biobizz employee explaining exactly how to use it and the dosages are completely different to the label on the bottle and their feed schedule. That said, unless you live in a very soft water area you shouldn't add calmag to water that is already full of calcium, you probably only need extra magnesium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Villan Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Funnily enough @latigid aikon was just watching that vid myself and thought the same. Then I watched another that said about 4ml to 5ltrs of water should do the trick. Thanks for popping in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Villan Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 (edited) This was my water analysis result. Calcium 18 Magnesium 1 Sulphate 26 Alkalinity 18.3 pH 7.55 Thats parts per million, but I am still none the wiser hahaha. Is 18 Calcium sufficient for my water ?

The Villan Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 (edited) Will take it back tomorrow. I will hit them with another dose of epsom salts tonight and try to get some pictures. I have had the same problem as last time, but not nearly as pronounced. I have been told on several occasions by fellow growers on here to change my nutes, but I keep holding on to the biobizz range as its what I have used for many many years. Something has to change. I only need to grow twice a year as the results I have been getting always gets me through without emptying the jars fully, but It has been beating me up the last two grows to the point wher..... you can teach an old dog new tricks Maybe if I switched up to biobizz Allmix instead of the light mix, I might find a better balance. I will however endeavour to get these ladies through the next month the best I possibly can, then rethink the situation.
