Growing in coco lucas/head 6/9 since march, now starting to see an issue. I've looked over the deficiency tables,etc....unsure noob.
Thanks for any insight.
The affected leaves seem to be primarily in the middle to lower area of the plant.
I was using Calimagic in early months....March/April. My tap water ppms recently changed from 180ish, to 40ish. This Grasshopper now realizes calcium is probably much lower now. Reaching for Calimagic unless advised otherwise.
Looks more like calcium, check the first chart in my signature link. A handful of garden gypsum sprinkled on top of the coco will slow the progression but once CA shows up its pretty much done it's damage.

Looks like heat has stressed the roots in that little pot and maybe damage from under watering. I would suggest putting in something to shield the roots from heat that holds extra water, like a trash can.

I will shade the pots better, thanks. No shortage of heat stress here, with 100 degree temps and 18 percent humidity. Off the VPD charts!
Growing is enjoyable with challenges, A nice change fter 35 years of office IT work. Thanks.
Looks like the plant has grew out of it's goldfish bowl. Any chance you can get a bigger smartpot under it and cut the bottom? Or at least cut the bag and have it grow into some tilled earth underneath.
Edit: sorry forgot it was straight coco. Nice looking plant however.
Thanks, Homesteader.
Yeah, kicking myself for not continuing to use a calmag supplement. Especially after my tap water went from 180 to 40ppm. Ddd, me.
Was trying to keep it simple....too simple! Lol. Less is not always more.
