Trying out coco for the first time under an HLG 300L, feeding GH trio + calmag every few days at a pH of 6. I haven’t seen this before when doing DWC. Thoughts?

Holy mother of... Don't worry about it. It's a happy little mutation that freaks people out. Looks cool but can be bothersome. Double check the undersides of the leaves with a loupe or other convenient magnification implements for bugs, just to make sure.
I can't tell you what it is, but I can tell you I get it enough that I don't worry about it. Also in coco, different nutrients. Me, personally, I use calmag if I use nutrients.
Otherwise, it looks real healthy.
Auto or fem?C'mon, mule!

Haha tyvm, that’s good to hear. I was thinking bugs too so I kept checking under the leaves expecting to find squatters but everything was clean and clear.
yeah, I have a few auto Girl Scout Cookies running right now. Usually do more than one strain but wanted to keep things simple for the first run with coco.Comment

Your pH is a little high. I target 5.8 in my coco grow. Don't skimp on the cal mag.Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.Comment

bboyfromwayback After much penitent introspection and acquiescing to the great wisdom of my peers, I have recently settled on 6.0 for flowering my autos. You lost me with the 6.2-6.4 finish. Do you have a time before harvest for finish? You also do autos?
Wish that I was on ol' frosty top,
down in the Tennessee hills.
Got good smoke upon ol' frosty top,
God, I hate climbing hills.
Frosty top, you'll always be,
grown at home for me.
Good ol' frosty top,
got me on my knees.
C'mon, mule!

Always vary your pH.
In coco I do like 5.8 to 6.2 and a bit in veg then around 6.1 to 6.3 in flower but a few outside that range also, bit lower, bit higher. I try and read the plants as best I can and sort of move the average to where I think she needs it.
It seems to mostly keep them pretty happy.
That pigment issue should go away as she matures but it could be pests or a virus....but I think you should be fine

Coco is hydro so it should be wet all the time, I feed water a couple of times a day with an autofeed setup or ebb & flow. I also keep my PH above 6.0 unless the plant tells me it wants it lower. If your taking good care of your roots I dont think PH is nearly as critica. Just my opinion thoughComment

pH absolutely critical. Fertigation frequency maybe a bit less so but your right there re hydro. A high frequency without drowning them seems to produce the best yields. You can over do it in coco with too much and fungus gnats and algal growth on top is a fraction too much in most cases, although I have had one plant where it wasn't as happy when I dropped back the frequency to get rid of the green on top of the coco.
Where talking a pretty big plant in a pretty small pot though. It's all relative.

Once two growers popped some frosty top
hopin' for a deep green field.
Growers done come back with frosty top
guessin' 'bout a two-ton yield.
Green corn's what they call ol' frosty top
can't see be seen from a car.
That's why all the folks smoke frosty top
and buy their weed in a jar.
C'mon, mule!
