What does it look like? overwatering? Under watering? Deficiency? I upped the Phosphate because I had a phosphate deficiency and it did nothing.. added calmag and silicia and that again did nothing.. cut back on the water and then I tried giving more water once again nothing.. the only thing I can think of is a PH problem or a nute lockout so I just flashed them right now.. the temps have been around 75-80 no more than 82... I was feeding them floraflex then I flushed an switched nutes and began another nute and that again did nothing.. any suggestions on what it could be?

Oh I forgot to add, Incase it could be a N deficiency.. I added some epsom salt and my nutes are pretty good when it comes to N so I don’t thinks it’s that

In how short/long a time frame did you try all those different things?
My suggestion would be to not water at all for at least 3 days, possibly 5 days and see how she behaves, roots are probably soaked and not getting any oxygen.

ive been having on problem off and on For about a month I transplanted to fabric pots about 2 weeks ago, it got a little better now the roots are coming through the bottem of these 3gl fabric pots and it’s doing it again? Maybe I should transplant to 5 or 7gl.. then flip? I wanted to correct the issue before I flipped to 12/12 though.. another thing is vegged for about 4 months (forgot to include that in the first post
 
List what your medium is, then do this test & post your results..

I’m growing in Roots Organic 707 (coco, peat soil mix) and the my hydro store was out of the pens so my other option is to wait a week for it to arrive and by then (or a day) they could be fried.. that’s why I was trying to see if they’re was any of opinions on what it could be, but that’s my next step

I use these, via second day Amazon if you're in a country where its proliferated ?

I also use my $10 PPM meter probably 25 to 1 over my pH drops or meter, strongly recommend keeping one in your toolbox

I'm not a big fan of mixing cocoa and Peat but I know there are other Growers who do it & maybe one of them will see this thread and be able to help

because without a slurry test I would guess over-watering like Tony said above too, and maybe some pH issues as well

..how frequently are you watering?

I’m really not watering too much, I had a gnat infestation on my last crop that I was unable to get rid of so I vowed to myself I wouldn’t ever overwater again lol.. I water frequently but not by much, I would say about 1liter per plant everyday, and their in 3gl pots and their pretty bushy and big so their drinking it pretty quick, by the next day they’re wilted and look under watered.. but as of this past week Ive been increasing the water intake and I just flushed each one plant with about 2gl of water.. so I’m hoping once I get that pen and start my nutes again the problem can fix itself..

But that's the thing, do you water a peat / coco mix like peat or like Coco?🤔 post that question and I bet you'll get both sides of the school of thought answering! LOL doesn't look too bad get your pH set and things should straighten out, post up your results after you get a slurry test!

Edit: if that were my plant I would treat it like soil and Water it only when it was dry but again I've never used that mix so I can only tell you what I would do
 
Peat has to be buffered a lot because it naturally has a super low ph. Soil mixes add amendments to compensate for that. I'm not familiar with yours or mixing with it with coco...🤔🤷‍♂️

Hopefully the soil pros will come to the rescue on this one 👍

That’s what I always wondered too Lol, I normally treat it like soil. I’ve never really had this problem before so its making me second guess some things now Lol. But yeah, would you recommend the PH strips you posted over the cheap yellow $20 PH & TDS meter combo they sell on Amazon? Going to hit up the hydro shop here in Sacramento today to see what they have in stock.

Thanks bro, Yeah they have a gang of stuff in it here is what they list as the ingredients

coarse peat, coco fiber, compost, perlite, pumice, worm castings, bat guano, fish bone meal, soybean meal, feather meal, kelp meal and much more.

Now that I see your list 100% I would treat that like soil and not water everyday; also I use pH Drops not strips

Ok got cha. What about if it wilts from no water? It does that just about everyday.. I originally intended on keeping them in the 3gl pots but do you think I should go to 5 or 7gl, so it can hold the water better and less watering?

I have large plants in 3 gallon pots right now, I water them with 56 Oz every 48 hours & they've never wilted once, so I don't know why you're having this issue but hopefully you'll work it out, good luck.
