Is there a way to test Cal-Mag levels?

[icthruyou]

So everything I've read says upturned leaf-tips indicates light burn or Calmag deficiency ("praying for mag") and I'm assuming the way to differentiate is light burn is top - down on plant with worst at top and easing as you go down. Does a Calmag issue present evenly throughout the plant (all leaves curled top and bottom of plant)?

I guess my real question is do you have a method for testing Cal/Mag levels?

Please and thank you

I don't know what you mean. The up-curl is on the Gelato and happened two weeks back. I did have it too close to the canopy. The LSD was only slightly affected then. It's actually part of the reason I got the second setup, two different needs and timelines I knew it could only help. Especially during the few yet important transition periods this plant has. Making a plant soldier through 18/6 into flower is like keeping someone up past their bedtime while watching them fall asleep in front of you. So I decided to buy another bedroom so flowering will never be compromised upon its start. Seems like kneecapping the bud building cycle's start.

Mind you I have no clue what I'm talking about. Just trying to think like the plant relative to environment.

I sat there in front of my LSD that's almost at chop-time and there are still tons of new/ newish triches. It's bad enough I'm actually terrified I'm going to fuck this lady up, now it seems there is a raging internal debate on when she will be ready. I had a few foxtails that actually became just fatter overall buds.....I think. They started with a knot-like sprout followed by a bunch more then they evened out resulting in fatter top colas. Still a bunch of clear and cloudy triches but only the very top of each bud shows any amber (excepting pistils which are now 60/40 total amber/white)

And when I say I'm terrified what I mean is I'm hesitant to cut her and once done I'm fearing the dry/cure. It's that "holy shit, I don't know jack about plants" and that just slapped me right across the face. In that I've always been an uncle way......I won't break your kids but I might scratch them on accident. I am probably not making much sense but I've gained so much respect for this process and all that's involved to appear this close to the finish has me nervous.

Know anyplace where the chop, dry and cure are written as you do it? Or anything close to it?

Thanks for the time..........
