Good coco growers please

[Smokes1809]

Any good coco growers know what's up with these?

Purple stems dark leaves, some margins pointing up, tips rolling
Some tips point up, none down..
It's not heat stress, temps 24 Lamps 2 ft away 600w hps
Canna coco and perlite, canna coco a and b
Ph 5.8 in 6.2 out
Ec0.8 runoff 0.5
when up to 1.0 just kept getting darker leaves shining
So when back to 0.8
I sprayed with cal mag the other week it didn't do anything
Roots are not the best shape, under developed
Feeding everyday, are they underfed please? I

The leaves just seem dryish, and lack that lush green colour, I don't think
It's n tox.. Iv already flushed down from 1.0 to 0.7 runoff
They have never had more than 1.0ec and they about 2 ft tall now
Branches are green main stems solid purple and purple stripes

At that stage of growth I run solution thru 3times a day. with 70/30 coco/perlite. They could probably use 2 feedings daily.I keep medium wet 24/7 after roots take

Jimmy that's what I'm doing mate, they still fully saturated
When I water, only once a day tho because I'm hand feeding..

Fed up of deficiencies

Fed up of deficiencies

Theres your answer, give plants higher strength nutes

Also drill some small holes in the sides of pots so more air can get in to the roots

So you think they underfed? What about the dark leaves?
Youv really confused me now, emilya said overfed now you saying underfed?

 

[Smokes1809]

Just checked them now, an i think emilya is right to be honest..
i gave 1 feed 0.5 last night an i can already see the lush green colour
so good call emilya..

I may have missed it but did you mention your pH.
You should be running close to a 5.8 pH.

Good luck

Drainage....thats my bet. I drilled holes and put a layer of lava rock in the bottom of my pots. Im on a every other day scheduale, i run off to 20 percent, and a allways feed nutes. I hand water using a spreayer. To me, it looks to be drainage. I wait a bit after i collected run off, and slightly tip the pot in the air so i can see drops falling from a drain hole. I stop tipping once the drips slow to like 3 - 4 within a few secs.

Wow old post...

 

[Grnwzrd]

It's an old thread but the plants looked fine. I think some people on here either look at their plants too much
or worry too much.

ph is very important. and holes in the holes in the pots helps but dont go too crazy
