Nutrient deficiency and ph runoff being always low 5.5-5.8
I have been getting yellowing in leaves even though i have been feeding cal mag , i have been starting slow and giving it rest between feedings , always nutrient , then distilled water the next watering , my runoff is always low , i started giving it 7.5 ph because of the runnoff being so low , i gave it 6.5 but runoff was 5.5 ,
i just now watered them again with calmag cause its time to feed again, im in flower end of week 1

Try a Nutrient Nutrient Water Nutrient Nutrient Water schedule instead of Nutrient Water Nutrient Water schedule and see if that helps!

I thought about that as well i just didnt want to stress them cause sometimes i notice my plants can be a little sensitive to nutrients sometimes but not too much

I wouldn’t chase the run off PH too much. Remember, the soil will PH itself for what is optimal for the plant and can go up or down. I think the most important part I learned about PH is consistency going in.
As long as you your feeding with the same PH you should be fine.
I do see some small signs of magnesium but nothing dire. The girls look pretty damn healthy to me! Maybe it’s time to try a foliar spray!

Thanks for the reply 👍🏾

Will keep that in mind

Never supplement calcium or magnesium unless one is deficient. You will run into problems using too much calcium. How are you measuring pH? Digital meters will eventually lie causing issues with mineral availability. Never trust them to be accurate.

Not to mention these plants are not showing a deficiency of either calcium or magnesium. Some cultivars are just lighter colored. They don’t look like they are dying to me.
