Hi kody204
I notice that you soil is unevenly wet. Review the below watering guide and follow it. Let's stop with the nute for now. Give it a good watering with plain PD'd water as per the guide. Water until runoff water starts coming out of the bottom of the pots. Saturate the soil but then allow them to drain well out of the bottom for a good half hour. It looks to me that the first posted photo plant is not getting any magnesium (refer to the GWE magnesium page). It could be that you are not giving them magnesium or that the plant cannot uptake the magnesium from the soil for some reason. But, it sounds like your PH in the soil should be ok. If you have not been giving them magnesium, get a cal/mag additive and use it in the watering (as described above) at half strength. Wait a few days, see if you see any improvement.

JeffInCanada i will do this! thanks so much for the info - there is magnesium in my nutes but i haven’t given it any calmag, should i continue with the microbial mass ? what PH do you recommend for the water ? 5.75 still? will keep you updated !
thanks, kodythank you so much

Hi, I use coco and I use cal-mag every feeding. If you don't have the added cal-mag you will have nute lockouts. I'm guessing yours may be a Nitrogen lockout.

Here is the GWE Magnesium page kody204 All of the info is there, including recommended PH. I also recommend reading up on all of the other GWE pages. We'd love to help as you go along.
I'd stop with the microbial as well until you get this cleared up.

Calmag when growing in coir and yes I too think it's a nutrient deficiency (Nitrogen). Correct your PH and give nutrients as instructed. Remember nitrogen is for sustained growth so the plant needs more in the vegetative stage, not so much in the flower stage.

dilvish so i should us both calmag in just water til incorrect my ph? then start the nutes again? also - should i buy i nitrogen supplement or use one of the nutrients that has the most nitrogen in it, thanks

[kody204]

dilvish what ph do you recommend to try and save this with the calm mag water? i’ve been doing 5.75ph

[dilvish]

PH for coir should be between 6.0 - 6,5. Calmag will help but don't just use it alone. make sure you are following a proper feeding schedule and the right amounts.
