Hello folks, it's my first post in here!
This is my first grow using coco (did soil before), and I have had some deficiency issues which seem common for coco growing. This plant here is in week 3 of veg from seed (black cherry punch from in house genetics) and I've had a perpetual issue with what it seems to be magnesium deficiency.
The medium is Royal Gold Tupur (70% coco, 30% perlite I believe) and she is in a 5 gal cloth pot.
The last feed I gave it was:
RO Water starting~15ml
Canna Coco A+B 7ml/gal
Canna Rhyz ~5ml/gal
Canna Cannazym ~5ml/gal
CaliMagic ~5ml/gal (I just got the calimagic on Monday, so before then It was not being fed cal mag) before then, I was using my hard water ~200ppm without calmag added
The feed is about 800 ppm
Today I gave it ~1gal of this feed, and the run-off measured to 1400 ppm which, by a couple posts in this thread, seems to be quite high. I usually give it half a gallon of feed daily, which gives a little bit of run-off, but today I decided to increase the amount watered so I could measure the run-off.
The top of the plant is a little mangled because I kind of screwed up topping it. Decided to pull apart the tops so that they could try and get some equal lighting.
I wanted to ask other coco growers how their watering is set up, if they like having a lot of run-off, what I might consider changing, etc. Am I going around the right path of increasing the amount watered? Do you guys figure that I might want to consider flushing it soon? And possibly any other tips n tricks would be greatly appreciated, And maybe I even mis-diagnosed the issue completely. Either way any input is appreciated over here!
