Started showing spots on 2 of my plants. Slowed growth and sad looking. I am in no way very good at diagnosis of issues, as I constantly second guess myself. And advice is greatly appreciated. All are month and half old, 2.7gal pots, 50/50 Coco/soil
-Last feeding was 3 days ago at 75% strength.
-Root organics- Budda Grow, Surge, Trinity
- Bloom City- Clean Kelp
-Blue Planet- Cal/mag
Watered with plain water PH6.5
Runoff at PH6.6

Then these 2 ladies.
Same info on these. Except runoff was at PH5.3.
Then flushed until runoff at PH6.1

Was the nutrient strength too much?
I just read that coco and plain water is not a good idea according to information on Adv. Nutrient. Of course they’re selling ferts so who knows. Another site said to use water every other feeding and GH three part with CALiMAGic at basically ¼ strength which is what I run with silicon added. I also use Full Power Humic acid and enzyme with lots of bennies. So what I decided was to drop everything except the three part GH and CALiMAGic and ph to 5.8.View attachment 948820
So those are your ingredients, I've never used this particular product, but regarding the first set, I would use a lower pH than 6.5 in that medium
I answered the OP; you've got coco which is different than op's medium.I just read that coco and plain water is not a good idea according to information on Adv. Nutrient.

This didn't answer anything really, except you can look up things on Amazon. Since stating that I DO NOT use that brand of soil! Only fertilizer.I answered the OP; you've got coco which is different than op's medium.
I don't use coco so I've no idea what your issue is, maybe start a new thread in the Coco section? Good luck!
This is the runoff. I’m stumped. I just ordered a new BlueLab combo meter. Figured it might be having some problems even though I calibrate regularly and I’ve been through 3 ph probes.
I’m stumped. Ready to go back to high pressure aeroponics.
1) for some reason I thought this was Captain Dan's thread
2) what part of 'your pH is too high for your particular medium' don't you understand?

The plants lok like they are slightly overfed, which might be causing an issue either by nute lockout or Ph lockout. It almost looks like a magnesium deficiency on some of the pictures, and magnesium is one of the first nutrients to fall victim to Ph issues... it has a pretty narrow window. My advice would be to go easy on the nutrients, try to get the Ph to the mid 6's if possible, and maybe give a foliar feeding of either epsom salts or Cal-Mag. If it is a magnesium issue, you should see things improve fairly quickly after foliar feeding, since it bypasses the roots. If your outflow is still 1200 or so (I think that is what I read), you still have a lot of nutrients in there... especially if you are using RO or distilled water.
