Grow dots deficiency

Firstly, this was my first post as a new member and I stoked to see so many responses. Thanks to everyone who responded. Yea, these dots got me stumped. I went with coco because that’s what scotty real specifically told me to use and I love me some good coco, especially canna coco. I’m generally speaking a dtw coco grower although I’ve run organic soil and deep water culture. I moved recently and lost my basement drain which made getting rid of waste water easy but I’ve doubled my grow area added an additional hlg-550 and gained more control with day night temps and humidity. I was feeling kinda guilty about the amount of wastewater I generate so I decided to give some grow dots and gro buckets a try. I think part of what might be going on is the distribution of the Dots. I mixed up many gallons of coco at a time and I’m thinking they didn’t each receive the same amount of dots Per container. Perhaps mixing a single 5 gallon buckets worth at a time might ensure the proper dosage per bucket. @Mañ'O'Green , these are grobuckets so there’s never any real runoff and I suspect as you do something going on down there. I’m tempted to pull the worst plant up as she’s not looking like she’s turning around but due to the nature of the reservoir having slots for the roots to grow thru I fear I’d really damage the roots. i Can topwater it and force runoff thru the single drain hole but I’m not getting any funky smells. I don’t really know how to add on top of grow dots either so I’ve started to top feed only about half strength canna a and b. I’ve had such great resulots running coco dtw all these years I wonder why I bother changing but I’ve got a peat coco ewc mix using dr.earth organic amendments one in a pot one in a bucket. I’m also new to autos so hey let’s just try changing everything at once haha. im Super excited about some mephisto genetics I just popped and they are going in strait coco for sure. I really appreciate everyone’s comments and I keep y’all updated. Stay faded.

I know when I checked earlier cause I wondered the same thing.. I just looked at a bag on amazon and the bags says coco as a media but have only heard folks using in soil

I personally have not used them I believe @Dankerson has run them for awhile and some other folks here

Yeah I saw many of the same deficiencies in my grows as well. Cant figure it out so I'm giving up on them myself. The Dude Grows guy recommends using them with coco and watering them like soil but can't be used in soil as well.
