CalMag.

ive been putting cal-mag in for 10 days, how much more can i put in without hurting plants, i mix one gallon water with 5 ml cal-mag and feed 10 plants equal amounts, thats 10 ozs each every other day . directions say only use once a week, afraid to kill plants if i use more

Of course I read what you wrote, but in my defense, I was HAF, lol.

I use calcium nitrate and Epsom salt for CalMag.
In a gallon jug, I run a couple cups of hot tap water in the bottom. I then add 1/2 teaspoon of calcium nitrate.
Shake jug until dissolved.
I then add 1/4 teaspoon of Epsom.
Shake until dissolved, then finish filling the gallon jug with cold water.
My plants are in 5 gallon grow bags.
I give the plants 1/2 gallon of the CalMag mix at a time. Some plants need CalMag more than others.
I believe you need to up your dosage.

This HerijuanaxBlueberry plant has been fed straight CalMag ever since I flipped it 22 days ago.
This plant would probably look like yours if I wasn’t doing that, and as you can see, the steady diet of CalMag has had no ill effects.

sorry, i meant no disrespect, im just getting really frustrated , first time growing and trying to get answers, but i get a lot of likes , which dont help, im doing this to help my son who spends $600 a month at the rip off medical desp. (he has severe glaucoma) im 77 yrs old , retired, and spend a lot of time reading about growing, but getting frustrated by the fact that all this is guessing game, guess wrong and you lose months of hard work. im trying not to lose any plants, not worried about cost, just 4 months of a lot of work. ive been debating whether or not to buy a calicum meter ($400) to measure soil content, because if i add too much calicum ill be royally screwed, just moneys getting a little thin right now LOL, ANYWAY thanks for answering me. have a great day and try not to get haf, ROTFL

“have a great day and try not to get haf, ROTFL”

That is a big negatory.

Not totally uncommon for a plant to start to yellow in mid flower.

Looking at these plants I can give ya some good news. They are gonna finish okay. Yeah, there's a little ding in there but it happens. Try not to get to worked up over it. It happens to all of us all at some point.

Anyways, have ya ever upped the feed a little? Demands for nutrients becomes critical in flower and the plant wants more. If it can't find it. It will feed off of itself...hence the damaged leaf.

Epsom salts is often overlooked but is essential for a flowering plant. Many formulas don't have near enough. Then there's calcium. Lacking this will kill a grow. Calmag works but as your finding it's not the answer to every damaged leaf.

I'd up the food a little n see what happens. I feed mine every watering but I use Jack's so it's pretty simple.

Just to ease your anxiety and frustration check out my Tangie. She's as yellow as Dorthys path in the wizard of oz. She's been yellow since late in week 5 and I just keep feeding her the standard dose I feed everyone. I'm not worried at all. She will finish with lots of nice bud.
