So I have run into some weird nute/ph issues lately and Im starting to think its because of the kind of nute im using.
I have a bunch of plants in all coco and some in 1:1 coco:perlite (might be more than 50% perlite in some). Im currently using HG coco nutes with all the plants.
Im wondering if using coco nutes on a non coco dominant media could cause the ph problem and slight K deficiency (red stems and slightly yellow leaf tips) I am seeing. I know that coco nutes should have less K because of the properties of coco, but I dont understand the ph issues (just some twisted curled leaves) because I always water between 5.8-6 ph and always calibrate my meter.
If anyone has any opinion on this it would be very great to hear. Im planning on buying HG aqua flakes and seeing if that will fix the problem. Im also going to try aqua flakes on the all coco plants to see if theres any big difference.
