HELP - PH Problem, Nutrient Deficiency, or Both?

[Wink]

Strain: White Queen
Media: Perlite
Method: Flood/Drain 3x week
Nutrients: Mega Crop + 1/2 recommended dose of additional Cal-Mag

This is a bit of an experiment after my Coco Grow with the same strain. Have a look at close up shots of the leafs. They didn't experience this when grown in Coco. I've tried maintaining PH at 5.5-6.0 and also from 6.0 to 6.5. It doesn't seem to matter what PH range, same leaf problem. I have 2 of a different strain i'm feeding the exact same nutrients (in Coco) and they show no signs of this, they look great actually. Any ideas?

I'd try giving the full dose of cal mag. Looks like calcium defency imo.

Thanks for the reply. I was hesitant because Mega Crop includes Cal-Mag and I've been adding more Cal Mag to it. I thought the same thing, but was afraid of overdoing it on the Cal-Mag.

I think it may be nutrient lockout. I let the pH in my hydroponic reservoir fluctuate between 5.5 and 6.4. I don't quite understand how you are doing your pH. I would say give them a good flush and allow the pH to fluctuate all the way up and down, not just half way.
