These are my 2 plants that are having issues.
They are looking over watered. I would let them dry more between watering them. This will also present signs of deficiency. Pots should be very very light before they need watered

3 gal but ima move them to 5 gal
I would stay in 3 gal. Prob twice a day would be good. In the morning and afternoon. Make sure you get 10-20% of what you point in coming from the bottom. You prob wanna put 3/4 of a litre through them and get about 75ml come out the bottom. If you get less than 75ml coming your you need to feed more often.

What are you feeding them?

I give them the general hydroponics flora series

Also catch and test the ppm and pH of runoff. It will give a good indication of what going on down there in the rootzone.

Ehats ppm...i check my ph but idk what ppm is
Gonna wanna order a EC/ppm meter if ya can. Parts per million. Put simply will measure the concentration of nutrients in the water. Important for mixing nutrients and checking runoff for buildup or inadequate levels

Using 4ml per gal each?

Looks about right. Just need to feed 2-3 times a day.

This is prob the best coco info I have seen.


Soo basically feed 2 to 3 times say tomorrow, then saturday i flush it with plain water so i dont burn the plant?

No need to flush... You just need to make sure you get 10-20% runoff everytime. That way it pushes the old out and the new keeps a stable balanced root zone. Give each plant 750ml. then atleast 75ml should come out the bottom preferably 150ml. If you dont get that much coming out the bottom you need to add a feeding to each day. Its not like soil if you feed often enough (properly) the PH,PPM and nutrient ratio will stay close to what your adding and never build up.
