that seem smart.. Stay at half dosage if you broke your ppm meter..

PPM meter ordered :-) hopefully here soon.

Here are latest pics, 1 week and 2days since 12 - 12. Had some good advice from @EventHorizan regarding feeding. Much appreciated. Looking forward to any more input.

These 2 were male. So gone now. 4 left nice room for them to grow :-)

Plants starting to look different now after double feeding for a couple of days. Ive got a NL thats bbeen quite poorely from its start. I may have damaged its roots when transplanting when small, but its starting to look happier as all are :-)

PPM meter arrived and my nutrient solution has a ppm of 529 @EventHorizan . Not showing signs of burn so maybe time to up it some.

Looks good.. I would leave the ppm for now

Hi folks. I think 2 of my plants have developed manganese deficiency. Going to drop ph for a few days, but not sure how much. Is it okay to drop the ph from 5.8 to a lower say 5.5 for instance or should i drop gradually ? Thanks in advance for taking the time :) I really want to learn this art :) so it means a lot :)

IMO, you should be fine at 5.5 in coco.

I believe you are overthinking about a deficiency. From your pics I don't see a manganese deficiency. I set my pH at 5.8-6.0 for my coir.

I'll try and get a clear pic :-) the top leaves on 2 of the plants are affected. They are dying at the ends but seems to be starting from where the leaves join the stem. Thanks for your input man :-)

Looking okay today. but NL in right corner of pick still poorly but flowers forming great. Maybe now ive lowered ph ive solved problem. They dont seem to be getting worse, so thats quite encouraging. NL as i think ive mentioned before had damaged roots when a seedling and has'nt been good since then. This pic was taken first thing when light came on. By afternoon leaves are standing to attention. Reaching for that light :) I've added a couple of pics leaf damage. Have a nice day all.

 

[prospero]

Ha good news :-) removed damaged leaves and problem seems to have been solved. New leaves showing no signs. Im uploading some new pics taken outside of tent. Ive included the poorly NL. Maybe someone might know the answer to her problem :-) aThese pics where taken before morning feed so they are a little droopy looking. But under light they stand up sweet reaching for the light :-)

 

[prospero]

Under light :♧
