Yes it's a Coco thing. Coco has a decent amount of oxygen even when saturated. No need to let it dry out
Anyone help me out please

Thanks, good to know
OK thanks I feel like I'm getting some answers now lol. It kind of happened fast and I didn't know what was wrong with them. Its 40 percent coco 60 percent Pete that mix is, biobizz nutes, so I'm going to soak the plants till run off and see how they react. But the leaves are covered in some kind of yellow dots so I thought it was mites but I might be wrong also look burned a bit but would that be similar for underwatering??
So you're saying water even when pots are heavy?? And wet?? Daily regardless??
it's all about finding out what works for you. I water to run off daily after about week 3 or 4 and by week 6 I'm watering to run off 4 times a day. For me the Coco being wet all the time has had no negative impact.
You might find that something different works well for you but my opinion from looking at the photos is that your Coco needs more watering.
We are missing a lot of basic info.. Like, what are you feeding, how often, ppms of the feed, ph of the feed etc.. I'm familiar with biobizz, but not the tropic mix.. Did you mix two different mediums together? You definitely did not and do not have mites. You would know it for sure. Looks like you are at the start of a lock out. Could be a nutrient lock out, a ph lockout, or both. But more info is needed before any kind of real advice can be given.

Hello from there web site it tells you to water to run off
Watering Tropic Mix
This media has similar to coco - it holds a similar amount of water. BUT Tropic is much easier to work with.
Just apply water for the first 2 weeks during establishment!
As with any potting mix, water your plants until run-off appears. Aim for an initial target run-off of 5-10%

Has your problem worsened since you posted on it Saturday ? It's difficult to determine from the pics they look like the same pics. But if there's been no progression of it since then, you can take some encouragement from that, and if you have plants that were unaffected by this, then what is different between the two groups ?
Sorry guys panciek
Sorry bro, I'm feeding when pots are light. Don't know ppm, ph 6.5 always, it's a mix of coco and Pete 40/60 if I remember correctly. It was all going dandy then all of a sudden rust spots. I got the feed charr off here woody his name is with his biobizz feed schedule. Starts off 1ml or so up to 4ml.

OK so there are some smaller ones that have rusted leaves like shot gun pellet holes on leaves yellow ones crispy lower leaves etc. The larger plants are still actually OK just slightly speckled leaves here and there. Things are picking up slightly I think. I've watered till run off with week 6 of my feed chart I got off here. See attached, oh is always 6.5 and 21 degrees ish. Room temps 26 humidity is about 35 percent, and so thing was eating up my leaves as there were like slits missing out of them and holes. But I may be totally wrong. I'll post some more pics tomorrow of the state of play now if you can just care with me for a bit. Cheers
