Using coffee grounds egg shells and banana a peels and some sardine water for veg.. 5 week old auto is tearing through lol. What a little beast! gonna use more banana peels when it starts to veg gonna use a lot of the banana powder I should of said. Have a blessed day!! Just letting you all know you don’t have to spend tons on nutes for veg. You can get big plants without just using things you eat!!! Good days good days!!

Hey fellow stoners, first time posting on this thread but have been a lurker for years!

I am currently living in the UK where we are still years behind the world and still make cannabis illegal.

I’ve been looking at starting my own grow over the last year and struggling to find somewhere hidden enough and with the requirements a plant would need to thrive in an outdoor environment.

Recently I have seen a few things online about the ‘HeyAbby’ automatic grow, which for around £550 claims to do everything automatically (which would be perfect for a rookie like me). Would you guys recommend a rig like this or is there any different/better options on the market to choose?

I should also mention I have been looking at getting ‘auto-flowering’ seeds to ensure a higher chance of success on the first grow.

Thanks for your help!!

• Maintain pH Levels: Regularly test your pH and adjust as necessary. Keeping your pH in the right range is the #1 way to prevent nutrient lockout.
• Use Balanced Nutrients: Make sure your nutrient schedule includes calcium, especially during the vegetative and early flowering stages when plants need it most.
• Use CalMag Regularly: A CalMag supplement is an easy way to prevent deficiencies before they start. Consider using it once a week in small amounts to keep calcium and magnesium levels stable.
• Monitor Your Water: If you’re unsure about your tap water quality, using filtered or RO water will give you more control over nutrient uptake.
• Avoid Overfeeding Potassium and Magnesium: Keep a balanced nutrient schedule, and avoid overloading your plants with other nutrients that can block calcium absorption.

Caught a calcium deficiency? Don’t panic—here are some steps to help you correct it and prevent future problems.

1. Check Your pH Levels

• First and foremost, test your pH! In soil, aim for 6.2-7.0, and in hydroponic systems, stay within the 5.5-6.5 range.
• Use a pH meter to get accurate readings, and adjust your nutrient solution or water if needed. pH is the most common culprit, so this step alone can often fix the issue.

2. Add Calcium-Rich Supplements

Once you’ve fixed the pH, you'll need to boost your plants' calcium levels:

• Dolomite Lime: This is one of the best long-term solutions for calcium deficiency. It not only adds calcium but also helps balance pH. You can mix it into your soil, and it slowly releases calcium over time.
• Calcium Nitrate: For a more immediate effect, this water-soluble supplement works fast in soil or hydro systems.
• Gypsum: This is another soil amendment that provides calcium without affecting pH.
• CalMag Supplement: These are easy to find at most gardening stores and are designed specifically for cannabis. They contain both calcium and magnesium, which are often needed together.

3. Foliar Feeding

• If you need a quick fix, foliar feeding is your best bet. Mix a CalMag solution in water and spray it directly onto the leaves. Your plant will absorb the calcium faster this way, but don’t overdo it—once a day for a few days should help.

4. Improve Root Health

• Add microbial inoculants like mycorrhizae to improve root absorption. Healthy roots mean better nutrient uptake, including calcium. Root health is especially important in preventing deficiencies from recurring.

5. Switch to Filtered Water

• If you’re using tap water and suspect that’s causing issues (high chlorine levels or imbalanced mineral content), switch to filtered or reverse osmosis (RO) water. This way, you can control exactly what nutrients your plants are getting.

Calcium deficiencies in cannabis usually come down to pH imbalance or nutrient lockout, even if you're feeding them enough calcium. Here are some common reasons:

1. Improper pH Levels

• Soil: Calcium is best absorbed when the pH is between 6.2 and 7.0. Anything below or above this range can cause a lockout, meaning your plants can't absorb the calcium, even if it’s present in the soil.
• Hydroponics: The ideal pH range is slightly lower, between 5.5 and 6.5. If your pH is off, calcium uptake will be blocked.

2. Water Quality

• Hard water (with too much calcium carbonate) or soft water (which lacks natural calcium) can disrupt the balance of nutrients your plants need.
• High levels of chlorine in tap water can also inhibit calcium absorption.

3. Excessive Potassium or Magnesium

• Too much potassium or magnesium in the soil or nutrient mix can compete with calcium for uptake, leading to a deficiency. It’s a balancing act!

4. Low Temperatures

• Cannabis plants struggle to absorb calcium when temperatures get too cold (below 60°F / 15°C). Make sure your grow space stays warm enough for optimal calcium absorption.

Hey, fellow growers!

Calcium is one of those essential nutrients that your cannabis plants must have for strong cell development, healthy growth, and overall structure. If calcium deficiency shows up and you don't catch it early, your plants can suffer long-term damage. This guide is here to help you identify the signs of calcium deficiency, understand what causes it, and show you how to fix it!

What Does Calcium Do in Cannabis Plants?

Calcium plays a critical role in cell wall structure and stability. It helps regulate nutrient uptake, assists in root development, and supports overall plant strength. Without enough calcium, your plant’s new growth will become weak and distorted, leading to poor yields and unhealthy plants.

Signs of Calcium Deficiency

Cannabis plants with a calcium deficiency show distinct symptoms, and it usually starts in new growth first. Here’s what to watch out for:

1. Crinkling, Curling, or Warped Leaves

• Look at new growth: The leaves will appear twisted or misshaped. You might notice that the leaf tips and edges are crinkled or curling upwards.
• Leaf structure looks weak: The leaves themselves can feel thin or flimsy to the touch.

2. Small, Brown Spots or Speckling

• Tiny brown spots (often with a rusty appearance) will start showing up on the lower and middle leaves. These spots might spread across the leaf surface if left untreated.
• Leaf tips turning brown: As calcium deficiency progresses, the brown spots might begin to form along the edges of the leaf tips.

3. Yellowing Around the Spots

• You’ll often see yellowing between the brown spots, especially as the deficiency worsens. The veins of the leaves may remain green, but the areas around the brown spots will start to turn yellow.

4. Weakened Stems and Slow Growth

• Stem integrity weakens: Affected plants often have weaker, hollow stems, making them more prone to breaking or bending.
• Growth slows: Plants will struggle to produce new leaves or branches, and overall growth will become stunted.

5. Root Issues

• Since calcium aids root development, deficiencies often lead to poor root growth, making it harder for the plant to absorb other nutrients. Plants with a calcium deficiency are often more susceptible to root rot or disease.
