Coco coir and silica issues

[Oakley111]

Never had this issue until I used silica now it is the 4th week of bud and lower leaves are doing this are any silica experts out there that might know the cause

Alot of silica comes with potassium. Which brand?

Definitely won't be the light I have done many grows with this issue I'm think more a deficiency

Post a pic of the label. The back preferably. See if it says potassium silicate

Reckon he got it sorted

I would think that if it had loads of potassium leftover from the extraction process thymey would include an npk value. I know a lot of potassium silicate has loads of potassium. Like alot alot. I think my grotek is 0-0-5, which isnt crazy, but if youre running bloom nutrients and boosters it would be significant. Whats your runoff look like?

Ec 2.5 ph 5.5

Thats not all that crazy. Whats your feed ec and what else are you feeding

 

[Oakley111]

Ec in about 1.8 I'm feeding Adam and eve range from goliath it's a 5 part mix depending on what stage the plant is at

Weird that it almost looks like a potassium deficiency...it isn't. But that's weird.

We can't tell where this is on the plant and have no idea what the other inputs are, your grow method etc.

Could be. Im just spitballing tbh. But your leaf edges are curling up, not just the tips. Any time that i ever had a potassium deficiency the edges would yellow but never curl up like that.

Im sorry, i mistook you for the OP

It's not my plant, yes it's weird that it looks almost, but not quite like a potassium deficiency .
