[straincreation]

Whole plant we will be able to diagnose your problem that way, and what did you feed, age of plant, medium, ph?

 

[straincreation]

That leaf looks like MG Def though.

 

[straincreation]

@GT21

When you have the purple stripes on a stem and yellowish leaves with dead spots its usually phosphorus. .. it could be 2 things
A it needs p
B the ph is off locking p

I was thinking salt build up never really get much run off and that locked out p
I flushed it with clear water and the run off was brown

Watch flushing coco with straight h20. it can throw off the cation exchange and flush the calcium/mag banks. if flushing do with a 1/4 dose of base nutes , cal/mag or epsom .

 

[organix4207]

What type of coco ?
Type of nutes used ?
Feed schedule ?
Lighting used ?
Room temp ?
Room humidity level ?
Straight coco or coco mixed with ammendments ?

right that is why I flushed then right after I gave them nute 1/4 like u said u don't want to mess up the coco to much thinking I need to add some EWC to it for a lil boost

Do you use a ph pen? When was it calibrated last?

 

[tinderthumbs]

Have you ever tested it against another pen or drops?

 

[tinderthumbs]

yes I use to use drops hate them peach. yellow and light brown all look alike with them drops

 

[GT21]

Ok cool.. so you know the way you ph test is accurate. .. the plant is definitely showing a phos deficiency. .. salt build up is probably your answer.

I been using fox farm stuff for a long time seems its made up of salt lol so far not really had much luck growing thinking about just letting it all go
