Help with a deficiency please!

[Bertabuds]

Advanced nutrients coco part a and b 250ppm each 150ppm calmag 2ml of root exelatrator every feeding every day.
Microeyza powder once a week
Voodoo juice and b 52 once a week at 2ml
5 gal pots pure coco

Under a 1000watt hps 28 inches away

I'm new to coco growing and havent figured it out yet any help would be appreciated thanks!

Maybe consider water 2 times a day. And add enough water to plants to have 10 to 20 percent runoff. You can’t over water coca but you also need to water enough to have the runoff to ensure your plant gets there nutes. PH water after adding nutes to 6.4 range and things should improve. Be sure to add appropriate amount of calmag to water as well. You could be giving a little less cal mag which should help with the foliage. Good luck

Coco should be treated like a hydro grow. pH your nutes between 5.8-6.0 for best results. Looks like a Zn def that can be cleared up by pH'ing correctly.

Typically you water coco once a day until runoff and twice a day when in flower.

Thanks for the chart. I wonder if my 6.4 PH should be brought down. Mr Canuck says 6.5 to 6.8. Definitely not saying your wrong. Just curious if it would help that much more. I am real disappointed in Mt Canuck and him switching to soil after I switched everything to match his. And then I find out dry amendments are better in soil. So I am kinda rattled haha

Thanks for your input so by taking down the ppm in the calmag will help reduce leaves or the yellowing so I understand correctly?

If you're in soil then you pH between 6.2 and 6.5... it can go higher to 6.8 but optimally under 6.5.

I haven't been phing as I thought advanced nutes did it already but I will check from now on also do I need to add anything for the zn deficiency or just correct the ph and it will correct itself?

To be honest I never knew this. Thank you so much. I will strive for 6.0 from here on in.

Please ask @MrSauga as I am still adjusting my mistakes. He should be a big help

Yes, in hydro, which coco is considered, then you need to monitor the pH. AN line will tell you it's perfect but experience tells growers it's not

You are growing in coco too is that correct?

 

[Green thumb lou]

Yes I am. My crown royals. Been at 6.4 ph the whole time but was having issues and went and started adding cal mag . But I can see why I had some issues due to the high PH

 

[MrSauga]

@Bertabuds
Sorry, no you don't need to add anything to correct the Zn def. The correct pH will fix that and any other issues that may be slowly creeping in.

Do you have a journal going that you can post a pic in? If not visit my current journal and post a pic there. See below for link called Sauga's Got Amnesia.
This way we don't hijack berta's thread too.

But since we are mentioning it, if the problem was Ca related then yes you were probably too high. Mg will uptake correctly at 6.4 but Ca will struggle.

Thanks for your time and knowledge I really appreciate it!

 

[Bertabuds]

The ph was way to high. In the high 7s just corrected it and Did a good water thanks again!

You have a beautiful garden going... good luck with the rest of the grow!

Thanks I'm really trying to master the scrog I'm trying to find a strain I like tho! If you wanna check out my journal I have going it's called Classic 1000 Watt HPS 4x4 Scrog Grow
