You know smokz from my experience its always better to have more options than what you need or want!
got some NL myself. are they autos? excited to see how this will play out
Sharing some of my thoughts on OC+ and coco gardening...
I am beginning to suspect OC+ is delivering more N (nitrogen) that I need. Keep in mind the application rate of 2tbsp per gal of medium (approx) From start to finish every specimen has displayed dark green color, more than I am used to. I wasn't alarmed by this, just making note. To date all things grow lush with no slow downs detectable, till they hit flower... Seedling or clones had no issue at all with burning. Just water and go.
Back to the Deficiencies...
Flower 12/12
1. Calcium is first to show.
2. Magnesium follows if #1 is not treated.
3. Potassium will also appear if #1 is not treated.
Soon followed by a myriad of other issues if you don't react in some manner.
This can be easily addressed by supplementing Cal/Mag of some type.
I would like to eliminate the issue or at least minimize it. So I search for more than just treating the symptoms. Keeping it all in the spirit of water and go with OC+ if at all possible.
Coco has an affinity for holding Sodium and Potassium, locking out Calcium and Magnesium. This needs to be countered. First note is that a N overload will lock out Calcium quickly. So if we are overfeeding N we are only making it worse. I also keep in mind that coco as much as it appears to be like soil it is basically an inert medium and brings very little to the table.
So my thoughts are rambling and reasoning in this direction
Reduce the OC+ application rate
Pre load the coco with either cal/mag or dolomite lime
Perhaps add Gypsum for Calcium
Balancing Potassium with the above measures
Add Molasses for the Calcium and trace minerals
Amend coco with Diatomaceous Earth (silica)
Water frequently (mini flush the cation system)
OMM - if it appears it has always been on the lower fan leaves and some bud leave tips. I suspect soil should do much better with OC+ in that regard. But man the growth rate with coco has to be experienced. Stick one in the corner and watch it and water it. You CANNOT over water it. Even with the deficiencies it still finished with her skirt on.
Should state as well that a second dressing in flower is surely beneficial for long winded sativas.
Just swinging by to see how things are goin. I'm sure all is well.
They look really GREEN, a super dark green in fact with a little twisting. You could be right about the N, but did your temps ever top 80? I have heard that OC+ can dump extra N with higher temps.
Otherwise they look really good!
