First Time Grower : Conflicting results

    Hey guys first time grower here and im having some issues dialing in on what i need to do, i keep getting conflicting answers.

    Setup:

    – 2×2 tent

    – 2X 5 Gallon Cana CocoCoir, pearlite, WormCastings, GrowDots

    – Humbolt Seed : BlueBerry Muffin, and Apple Blossom
    – IONBOARD S22 AC infinity light

    – Climate: 75F, 65% Rh, ~ .9 VPD /* 18/6 on the light

    – Water is RO, Ph 5.9, 330 ppm with Calmag, 30 ppm plain

    – Light is set at 30%, about ~30 inches now above the canopy

    For watering its been 300-500mL each plant, every 3 days roughly. Ive added a very light amount of Cal-Mag in each watering (1mL/500mL), my light meter is reading around 200-250 ppfd using the Photone app.

    Im seeing crispy tips, light green on the edges of both new and older growth, and a slight curling up or cupping on my leaves. even the newest ones that popped up over night.

    I keep finding that im not watering a enough, or im watering the perfect amount. Or that its the light being too intense, ive heard its somehow Nutrient burn and so ive stopped the light calmag addition.

    I watered with only RO ph water ( 400mL ea) last night, watched nothing change, except for additional curling, and have since turned on my AutoPots a couple times today , just to fill the basins after it soaked up all the water.

    Any insight or wisdom is much appreciated 🙂 and if i forgot anything apologies, theres alot to remember XD

    Looks like nutrient burn, bud. Most likely too much calmag.

    From personal experience you are over feeding and also over watering. Try letting the soil dry out and start flushing ur plant. They are also lacking some nitrogen from the looks of it.

    Cut out the cal-mag. Too much calcium is far worse than not enough.
