Ph on nutrient issue?

[farmerfischer]

You didn’t paraphrase anything. You guessed at his feed based on what he stated his runoff was. This wasn’t to start an argument but to just to point out that his feed is completely unknown. That’s why I asked him specifically what he was feeding.

If op could give more details im sure my guess isnt to far off.. but youre right, he didnt specify the exact ppm of his feed..

I appologize if i seemed argumentive.. ive been off the boards for awhile and my troll meter is set on high..lol.

I willing to bet hes running 1000 to 1100ppm on his nutes based by his run off.. of course this depends on the frequency/ schedule of feedings.. 800ppm is a rough baseline for running hempy/coco when you first start to get the feel of what your plants needs are.. this is why i said the numbers i did..

Looks like a cal/mag deficiency probably. It is a commen issue with inert substrates like coco, peat, hydroton..

Let me rephrase this before i get more frownies..lol. if you are using r.o. water it might be a cal/mag issue..

How often are you feeding? 950ppm is awfully high. 100ppm is awfully low. You were right to adjust your ph to 6, but you probably want the feed to be more moderate like ~500ppm.

im currently feeding at 1200ppm and just starting week 6 of flower

Look into this channel it may help with your questions or future issues if they arise

Awesome that info does help a lot

I wouldn’t add any CalMag and let your regular nutrients provide the calcium and magnesium along with your tap water.

Regardless the issues you showed look nothing like a calcium or magnesium issue.

What exactly are you feeding the plants? How often?

im feedingthe Classic canna nutrient line in coco. I feed when the leaves begin to drop but as someone posted before a video I think my issue be that I’m not water enough as the coco is drying out. I didn’t think it looked like a calcium deficiency but I’m only new so didn’t really back myself

yeah I’m water with 1200ppm every water and I’m using rain water starting at 0 ppm.

You are over feeding and not feeding often enough. Coco should be feed at least once daily. 1.4 EC - 1.6 EC should be plenty.

you will easily fix it by lowering that by about half

ok sweet I’ll reduce my nutrients and water daily and see how I go. So even in flower is 1200ppm to much?

ok sweet would you say that over feeding could cause popcorn nugs as 1 of my plants obviously likes the higher feeds where as all my other plants that I’ve got in flower seem to be producing smaller hard nugs but don’t seem to be growing?

Yeah IMO. The highest I’ve ever run in flower is 900ppm or 1.8 EC.

If you let the coco dry the EC rises. It also will cause salt buildup and hydrophobic like areas in the coco. I’d make sure the next feed at lower feed is run to SIGNIFICANT runoff.

yeah I feed yesterday afternoon and ensured there was a decent amount of runoff I’ll start watering daily and make sure there’s always runoff. Is it possible that overfeeding could cause smaller buds? As 3 of the plants out of 5 I have seem to be only growing smaller hard buds or do you think that would be really just genetics?

Usually that’s genetics. Some form golf ball buds and others will stack into colas.

Yes overfeeding can have a negative impact on flower growth.

yeah cause I’ve got Bruce banners growing and 1 has decently sized colas and then the others are all just smaller sized buds

ok sweet now I’ve started feeding less hopefully it will fix that issue
