Howdy all Not sure how far along into flowering I am with these 4 low ryders, but the 2 that are hempy buckets have went from good to terrible in a couple days. Hoping to get some much needed advice, it would greatly be appreciated. I noticed one small white spider crawling on the rim of my pot so I immediately bombarded the grow box with lady-bugs. Seemed to help, have not noticed anything in 5 days, but now noticing some nasty rust colored leaves on a couple of my major fan leaves. I swear, 2 days ago they were nothing to fret about, or so i thought/hoped/dreamed  Hydro Growers: 1. Are you growing from seed or clones Seed 2. How old are your plants? 3 weeks into flowering?(give or take) 3. How tall are your plants? 12" 4. What type of hydro system are you using? Hempy (3:1) 5. What brand/type of nutrients are you using? Botanicare Pure Blend Pro/Advanced Nutrients 6. What is the Ph of your nutrient solution? 5.8-6.1 7. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water? 40 8. What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution? 750-850ppm 9. What is the temperature of your nutrient solution? 10. Does your PPM/EC show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check? N/A 11. Does your pH show a rise or fall when you do your daily check? N/A 12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? Once ever 2 weeks with B1 13. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights") 4x90w UFO LEDS Red:Blue:Orange 14. How close are your lights to the plants? 9" 15. What size is your grow space in square feet? 4.5x5x6.5 16. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space? 25-28C & 50-60% 17. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? Yes 18. How much experience do you have growing? 3rd attempt  | ||

| Looks like a gnarly ca deficit, probably caused by crazy ph.....I would water at 5.5....and let it rise naturally from the verm.

| The fact is.....it is a ph problem.... pbp did not leave out any nutrients....so dont try to solve a deficiency before attempting to solve the ph.

| Ca is absorbed at a slightly lower ph. That's why i suggest starting at about 5.5 and letting the verm raise the ph to 5.8-6 between waterings.

| As you can see, ca is locked out around 5.7 or so, so it has been getting 0 ca even though your nutes have plenty.  And, if i am wrong and it is mn (not all that common) then droppin the ph to 5.5 would solve that too.

| Ola metalgod69 Swapmeet has given you some great info, (thanks for Posting the PH Chart Swap) Great thing about "Hempy"/IRB grows is you can Flush and adjust quickly. I would flush your plants and then wait a few days for their next feeding start your water at the 5.5 PH as noted. You may want to review the Sick Plants link in my sig for references.
