Hey guys, I have a bit of a cal/mag problem on one of my plants, I didnt take pics because its exactly what you see on the net a bit of necrosis and chlorosis of the fan leaves. My question is should I flush this one right now and rewater or wait till tomorrow which is my scheduled watering day? I got some cal-mag today that is why I ask... In hempy buckets, using RO.

 | If it just needs more cal/mag then give it some. No need for a flush.  | ||

| So should I mix up a full tea with the cal-mag like you would normally for a watering? Or just straight water with cal-mag until tomorrow?

| Id mix up what you were, then add in some of the cal/mag you just got and water on schedule. They will be fine a day without it. | ||

| Big question with hempy. Do you need to readjust PH so the cal/mag is able to be taken up? Because I read that if the PH is beyond 6.0 cal/mag gets locked out.

| Are you using vermiculite in your hempy buckets? I've seen some people post about them retaining the ph down and messing up their ph levels.

| Nope 100% perlite, hempy says NOT to ph.. and if you have to to ph to 6.2. I have modified any directions as needed to suit my grow.

| I use vermiculite & perlite as hempy buckets should be, but I pH to 5.7 ideally, but usually 5.6 to 5.8. I have never had a pH problems in hempy & I've grown in hempy buckets for more than 6 crops. I have had pH problems in e&f so I know what they look like!
