    Deficiency or nute burn???

    Over the last month or so my leaves have started to die from tip and/or mostly the edge. I know my PH was high for a few weeks and that messed with alot, but it's been a few weeks now with the PH between 6 and 6.5. I've removed all the originally affected leaves but they keep dying. My soil is 45% organic soil, 45% Coco, and 10% perlite. My organic soil had nutes in it originally so I have not given nutrients every other work like Fox Farm recommends. More like once every 4 or 5 waterings. And that was after a few weeks without ANY to use up the nutes in the soil. Any suggestions would help.

    I see a PH issue yet, the clawing looks like over water (I usually say check for bugs, do that anyway)
    Did you prep the coco?

      Yes, I saturated it first. Should I keep my PH lower then 6? I know coco is supposed to be closer to 5.5, but since its half soil I figured in between 5.5 and 6. I'm grasping for anything , would low temps cause this? I

        Nitrogen toxicity is my guess.
        Does your plant have "the claw?" The talon-like leaves that are bent at the ends are a sign that your plant may have nitrogen toxicity. Learn how to fix it.

        There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
        1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
        2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
        3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)

          You say your soil is about 45% organic soil, but is it living soil? If not, I would guess that you’re not giving nutrients often enough. I personally am using FFOF with perlite and I am giving nutrients at the full strength recommended by FF and haven’t had any issues doing nutes ever other watering. Once every 4 or 5 waterings seems too infrequent. Also, how often are you watering?
