Please help problems alread

@St. Tom so basically what your saying is flush them with a light feed , until ppm is the same as what your pouring in ?

My water is all gone now should I mix some more up and flush it or wait till tomorrow, they are quie small View attachment 1185136View attachment 1185137p
they don't look that bad to be fair or maybe even better from your feed your going with now just keep feeding to run off and i feel it will correct itself as plants your age you want an ec of no less than 1.0 and not much higher and the feeding to run off will sort your build up by itself

Thanks, my pen wont do ec what ppm would be 1.0 ec ?

I think 500 ppm and make sure when you feed them to runoff to about 20 pcent but only when your pots starting to feel liggt being small but never let them dry out and keep me posted
 
So what's the deal with this plant? Is it growing in coco? If so, you are not feeding correctly. That's definitely signs of a calcium issue. PLEASE remember, that a deficiency sign DOES NOT automatically mean to "add more". Plants that young don't need much of anything. If a calcium issue is showing this early, then its probably a lock out due to excess nutrients or ph being out of range.. Meaning that the calcium in the medium has been locked out and is not available to the plant. I have never and will never, recommend calmag for that reason. They are two completely different nutrients that have totally different deficiencies. Not only that, excess calcium will lock out magnesium... Excess magnesium will lock out calcium. Excess calcium and magnesium will lock out potassium. And so on...

If you are growing in coco, you should be doing light feeds/waterings every day. Coco should be treated like hydro. If you let it dry out, the ph levels get way out of range.. Which also locks out nutrients.. Which could also be at play here.

Think of it this way.. You know you are feeding the plant nutrients.. Even giving it Cal mag.. So if you start seeing a nitrogen problem for example, when you know dang well you've fed the plant NPK.. Then you should start thinking along the lines of lock out. Caused by ph of the medium or by excess of certain nutrients. With the plant being as young as it is, it could be either one, or both at play.

Thank you for your input, I think it's the ph out I measured the run off of all the plants in one bucket and was 10.0 so yeh we have a ph problem, probably a lockout because I have been following your ppm table ,what do you think I should do . Flush plain out water at 5.8? Would they not suffer from all the water as they are small . ? @Proph I haven't been watering ever day tbh just when it feels lighter

If you are growing in coco, you should be watering/feeding everyday. Most water until they get a good run off amount. That helps prevent/release salt build up.. You cannot over water coco. Some people water/feed 3 times a day in coco...You don't need to do much to fix the ph.. Just use water/nutrients ph'd between 5.8-6.2.. Everday, and as often as needed. The top of the coco should not feel or look dry. If it is, you are waiting too long to water.
 
From what I read coco tropic is 60% peat and 20%coco 20% perlite. Are you saying you're ph was 10? That's insane sounds like a screwy meter to me. Also I'm not sure peat is treated the same as coco.

No this one https://www.growell.co.uk/growing-media/coco/50l-tropic-70-30-cocomix.html
 
Think we have turned it around , looking good I think what u saying @Proph @St. Tom
