First let me say this is not genetic or a temp issue.
I have had this happen a few times before in soil. I've done two rounds in coco and it's happened both times.
Plants are growing extremely slow, 12" or so after 2 months from cut. Woody rigid stems with a small diameter, red/purple color to them.
I've flushed the coco multiple times. Charged with calmag. Tried upping potassium. Used citric acid as ph down to make phosphorus more available. Started with 5.8 ph. Tried 5.5 - 6.0.
I know how these are suppose to grow and look. One round I finally got to come around at week 6 veg. This other round is still limping. I thought it was a calmag issue but I've tried many ways to correct it - foliar, flushing, loading and nothing's working.
I know there's a reason for woody, red stems with slow growth. Every thread I read on the internet says its genes or temps are too cold and that it will go away, which is hogwash.
