SilicaNutes? Feed schedule?
I thought it looked like mag deficiency also. I dont think the coco was buffered but will look into on the next run. I agree there should be daily feedings trying to get my partner on the same page. Thanks for your advice.Looks like a mag deficiency. Was the coco buffered? If not, the cation exchange properties of coco will withhold calcium and magnesium from the plant until they are full. Also with coco, a minimum of once a day feedings to 20% runoff is necessary for good results.
Yes i plan on a scrogged setup, planning on putting up the nets this weekend. Man i really appreciate the help brother... I have one question though i invested in some microbes should i add that to my feed or just water alone?Coco= hydro
Treat her like hydro
Needs daily watering. With cal mag/ feed 1x day with run Off.
Trick with coco, feed until she shows signs of burn, cut back 1/5th, then keep the schedule going.
Great setup btw. Are you planing on scrogged setups ? If so start the nets now
In the feed. And repeat dosage every 3rd feed to keep it viableYes i plan on a scrogged setup, planning on putting up the nets this weekend. Man i really appreciate the help brother... I have one question though i invested in some microbes should i add that to my feed or just water alone?
Im colorblind but other than color ajd a lol droop. Id say u got the fire.Yeah 36 plants in coco hand watering?
You got your hands full. I’m having issues keeping the moisture right with just 4 of em.in 4 gal bags. Watering til runoff is definately a must. And water slow or it’ll run right off the drier stuff. I’m in a net with no drain tray. So that’s part of my issue. I’ve thrown mag at it it just makes em look even drier. And stripes still there. These are babies but you can see it. Fed good not lacking anything ph at 6.0. One the new growth curling like burned but it’s not. It’s something else. Also noticing a real dry salty look to everything in flower too. It’s like the coco is sucking the moisture out of the plant. N I’m putting 3+ gal of water a day in the flower box. View attachment 846752View attachment 846753Looks hungry right? Look close at tips. It’s perfectly fed. White is calcarb foliar not pm.
I water in microbes by hand once a week. I really soak the coco with the microbes and flush out any built up salts. I feed 3-4 times a day, so I just sub in one feeding for the microbes. I use a res and microbes don’t play well in there after a couple of days. LoLYes i plan on a scrogged setup, planning on putting up the nets this weekend. Man i really appreciate the help brother...

I was doing the same. Adjusting the pH to 5.7 as that’s what I thought was the “sweet spot” for coco. I kept getting leaf twisting and pale blotches. I raised the pH to 6.0-6.1 and the problems stopped. This has been the case with several different strains.I’ve been pHing between 5.5-6.0(I change it each feed) but I think I am starting to run into minor issues (twisted leaf tips) so for my future feeds I’m going to keep it between 6.0-6.3.
They look well fed however if your pH is too low then certain nutrients can’t be taken up by the roots. Kind of looks like magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is best absorbed in hydro/coco between 6.0-6.5.
Thanks. That might be it. I have nutrient availability chart for soil and hydro but not coco. I know ph on coco supposed to run lower than soil. I’m pretty sure everything says 5.3-6.0 for coc. So I was ph at 6.0 thinking I was good. I have thrown extra mag at em. It’s like you said they either ain’t taking it or it’s being used sooo fast it barely shows.I was doing the same.

VpdWhat are your temperature and relative humidity? I'm willing to bet your problem will lie there.
VPD issue. Too dry causing excessive uptake due to high transpiration, causing a lock out. Usually the plants sort it out once they have reached a critical biomass, at which point the transpiration load of the room is enough to push the plants into the correct VPD.
Ok here is right now in flower tent.What are your temperature and relative humidity? I'm willing to bet your problem will lie there.

Here is veg box. Started 2 plants now all of em doing this. Vpd much closer here in this box but they’re all dying. Period. Something wrong with the cocomix or something. Worked great for about 2 weeks then just steady issues. This is one of first 2 gone badOk here is right now in flower tent.
They are flowering fine just dry deficient looking leaves. N I know I been feeding. 3x what I normally feed. They grew fast but then this.

I did try n wet vac the runoff but I’m back here again. I got the canopy I wanted but afraid it’s all gonna go south.
