You might try cutting out the cal mag supplement or in half? .4 seems high to me especially if your nutes contain it and you are using tap. Excess can cause issues also and see how they react. Your light definitely should provide you some good growth rates.Thanks for the reply mate, any info is great..
I have a normal 600 watt ballast,,not sure the. and of them now , in the link below not same make but one of them lights

it's got 600&400 watt mode on it, I'm on 400watt as the 18 hours light schedule saves electric and brings my humidity up a bit more to 65%. Temoa at 76f day 70/71f night
I think the same mate that their over fed, and got lock out,, showing signs of deficiency the yellow leaves.
Iv discovered if the the years that a lower E.C works better for me, like you said 1.0 / 1.2. Iv given a mini flush today at 0.6E.C but that's not a lot of food because 0.4 of that is cal mag, i think its over feeding like your said but it's got something tonso with the cal mag ,, also canna A&B I'm using has cal mag,, I was thinking I'm feeding to much cal mag and that causing lockout .. I like soil so simple,, but coco more yield I want,, I finding clone machine that's hydro, iv master that so hydro im in finding easier then coco loo mad.. What hydro set up are your running? I'd like to do hydro as I find it easier but I aibt got then head for messing with water pH feeds and water change ,, I like the though coco sane results as hyrdo but simple fees like soil eventually set the auto pots up,, but having nightmare as you can see last 2/4 grows haha
I start clones in aero spray clone machine, wheh u see tinny dot roots feed at 0.4 E.C then 2/3 weeks later 0.6 E.C
All this in clone machine and the plants look vary healthy. But soon as I pot into coco and feed at 0.6/0.8 E.C they start slowing down and looking the same asnib the pics...
I'm not sure it the full strength cal mag
Is needed soon as I pot I to coco,,
What im doing is going from clone machine huge roots feed 0.6 pot into the pots you see in the pics 15lt i think, they are in veg tent under 2 T/5s in give first feed in the coco soon as i potted,, the fees is 0.6/0.8 E.C. 0.4 of that is cal mag that's full strength..
By soft water do you mean water from a water softener? Or just lower ph?I'll try exactly that iv been to scared to drop cal mag to power dose because I had more problems in first 2 grows with no cal mag only what was in the canna nutes.. Iv tried everything else on the grows so suppose makes sence to try less calmag, I read a post about it and how it works and soft water what in have i think, and worked out I needed that..
I'll try half strength tmz when ill water at 0.2 E.C of cal.mag and have total at 0.6 try for few day's, I want to flick to flower but worried 0.6 in low to be goinf into 12/12
I shall try and update in few day's thanks for the time
Yeah I just wanted to be sure in the aquatic hobby soft water is referred to just as you describe but it's misleading.Sorry, from what iv read might not all make sence as can't remember all exactly
But soft water is is tap water or any water that has no minerals or stuff it's very clean water
And hard water has minerals or something in it,,
Soft water has no calcium and I think magnesium so you add calmag to boost calcium and magnesium something along them lines lol.
Coco breaks down and as it does it needs more calcium or magnesium hard water already contains these soft water dont so need calmag.
Coco breaks down and some deposits or something open up releasing k and needs cal mag to fill the deposits that open up as the coco breaks down or causes all sorts of problems pH and more,,
Half that is not 100% right but its quit complicated this coco lol
Im sure its something to do with what ppm the water is is its under 100 its soft you can see in the pic a blue pen its callwd TDS pen and measures ppm ,, that in the pics is what my opm is out of my tap I showed it because im sure its something to so with what water your have soft or hard, its still all new to me mate all I known is I'm sure in have soft water and that then needs cal mag, tap water im using i leave water in big water but and air atone for few days.
I don't use cap mag in hydro clone machine and plants stay in that after rooted 2-3 weeks vary healthy
But coco requires calmag as it breaks down and soft water what fill that need as no calcium,,,
Hope this makes sence lol , this has been a mission on a phone man :)
There ya go a coco guy... Good luck you are in better hands nowWhen you say you’re watering with softened water do you mean to say the water has gone through a water softener?
Softened water is high in sodium and it will kill your plants if you’re watering with it.
I’m growing in 100% coco coir myself and give it a full dose of cal mag and have cut back on my micro nutes which was just way too much nitrogen for them at the time.
Are you keeping the coco coir moist at all times? You should never let coco coir dry between waterings. If coco coir gets dry the roots not only will start dying off (air pruning I guess), but the nutrients (synthetic nutes) will cause salt deposits in the medium causing even more problems which would require a thorough flushing.
You’re testing pH with a pen? If so, when was the last time you calibrated it? The pH could be off.
If the pH pen is accurate then I would increase the pH to 6.2. I found that to be the magic pH number in coco.
