Thank you for replying, I water at 5.5-5.8 but when I check run off it is regularly over 6. The problem started a few days ago and I started to flush as I suspected nute burn.Try getting your PH between 5.8 - 6.4 this higher ph should make calcium more available for your ladies. my opinion ph for coco should be in this range. I keep mine 6.0 6.2
Also I see many people water every day in coco and the general consensus is that it is really difficult to overwaterThe burned tips and edges and generally sad leaves made me suspect nute burn, do you think this is this not the case and I've simply been watering too much?
Its called trial and error, or more commonly called getting it "dialed in" With coco you can feed daily the trick is based on your groom temps and air flow how much to water/feed without like stacker said not letting your roots dry out all the way. When they dry too much the fine root hairs die off and it stalls growth. But you CAN overwater as well. Cannabis prefers a wet dry cycle, but again it takes some dialing in to find your balance. Also keep in mind your water/feed requirements will change as the plants goes into flower and start stacking bud sites. And then they will back off the water required as they enter senescence.Also I see many people water every day in coco and the general consensus is that it is really difficult to overwater
BTW Welcome to the farm. I was re-reading your post and checking back and I have to ask you, and please not trying to be a smart aleck, but how in sam hell you getting slugs in your tent??? You run a tent outside??? I thought I had seen and heard it all but this is a next level thing. :D Please clarify.......
- Hi all,
I'm a long time reader Of The forum and have been amazed by the helpfulness Of The members and the wealth of knowledge available... so I decided to join up. I'm wondering if any of you can offer me some assistance as my girls are in a state of sos
I'm growing in 100% coco using Canna Coco a and b, supplementing with cal mag, Rhizotonic and cannazyme following their "light feeding" recommendations on the official grow guide. I'm in week 4 of veg from seed the girls are in 15l pots with approx 10ltr of medium in each, I'm watering with nutrients every other day at ph between 5.5-5.8 making sure to get reasonable run off.
I've got 2x "900w" (actual power 4520w) viparspectra LEDs running on veg only and a 600w MH currently running at 250w all on 20/4 schedule. Temps don't ever exceed 27C.
Everything was going great until approx 5 days ago, I discovered slugs were eating my ladies, I treated with slug pellets on the floor of the tent and sprinkled some on top of the medium in the pots with the girls.
I've got problems and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. I've attached a load of pictures.
Please help!
I don't know how it happened really, The girls are in a tent in a garage. Maybe they are getting in from under the garage door?BTW Welcome to the farm.

Ok now I get it. Isnt the tent zipped up when your not working in it? Any how did you get your issues worked out? Hope you are on a better path now. :D:smoking::cool:I don't know how it happened really, The girls are in a tent in a garage. Maybe they are getting in from under the garage door?
It was zipped up, or do I thought, it turns out one of the zips from the bottom was broken. I sewed it back together. No resolution, they aren't looking any worse in terms of tissue damage but they are clawing more. Any suggestions as to what I can do to get them back on track?Ok now I get it.

Reduce your N inputs.........Well if your issue is/was indeed N toxicity it does take a bit to turn that around. Once you get your N levels back on what the gurls need you will notice the new growth will stop clawing. It can take a week or 2 has been my experience.It was zipped up, or do I thought, it turns out one of the zips from the bottom was broken. I sewed it back together.

The leaves that clawed will not repair. Watch the new growth to determine if your actions are correcting the problem.It was zipped up, or do I thought, it turns out one of the zips from the bottom was broken. I sewed it back together.

650-850 ppm every other day. They're big pots and stay moist in that time so no water is given between feedsThe leaves that clawed will not repair. Watch the new growth to determine if your actions are correcting the problem.
Are you feeding daily? What EC/PPM?
Ph is 5.5-5.8. Runoff is regularly as high as 6.4 thoughThe leaves that clawed will not repair. Watch the new growth to determine if your actions are correcting the problem.

No I agree it isnt text book thats why I said if it is or was N. But if you have a handle on your inputs and feel your solid there it has to be something else. The issue with diagnosing is so many maladies can mimic others and vice versa. Now you have to start with process of elimination 1 at a time. Not N so maybe look to C or Mg defish hell it is also difficult to diagnose with online pictures as well.Do you think that's what it is? It doesn't look like textbook N toxicity to me. . as I understand you don't normally see the burned spots, tips and edges that I've got with a surplus of N. Also they have not been ODed on nutes by any means they are only on 650-850ppm feeds which is why I'm struggling to see what has gone wrong
