So its coco coir? I do drain to waste coco. Just looked at mills nutrients. Idk what EC youre dosing them but they look hungry simply. Just up the ec, if youre not adding a cocktail of stuff I dont suspect lockout.

How many times a day fed? How many gallons is the pot? I feed about 2-3x a day about now in one gallon at 1.8ec which .5ec of that is tap water. I just lowered to 1.5ec. What EC are you at? Are you keeping ph in check?

Here are my veg clones 6 weeks old. Thats a good leaf color to shoot for.

I have just done a run off test with ec and it’s to high coming In at 1.1 with plain water feeding everyday as coco requires. They were exactly the same colour as yours only last week so maybe a few days of plain water or would you personally recommend the bites also
Thankyou so much for the reply also

I rinse/buffer dry brick coco and pot it, from then on I give only nutrient solution always ph’d. Never plain water, it will strip some of the buffered sites of cal/mag. Also never let it dry, it should be watered before it even dries visibly.

Hand watering helps get a feel for how it can dry back without visibly appearing dry. If you cant hand feed twice a day you probably need a drip system but theyre fun once setup.

You should be measuring ec runoff with solution not plain water, then compare incoming EC with runoff EC. If its the same or lower, dead give away it needs more food.

Whats the EC going in up till now? Are you using tap? Whats the EC of your tap water or source of water? How many times do you feed a day?

Im a newer grower too but coco is pretty easy. If I cant solve it, adding more info for the experts to help will do it.

If you feed coco plain water you alter the cation exchange capacity (CEC). Coco always needs nutrients and a pH of 5.8-6.3

Also depending on your plain water ec you already have a lot of salts possibly from not feeding often enough.

Ec of tap water is 0.3
We leave the water for 24 hours before adding nutrients

Ok thats a good ec for water to use it depends whats in it of course but not bad. Mines .5 mostly calcium and magnesium.

If this is straight coco you dont have to vape off chlorine if thats why you leave it for 24hrs. I use pool shock which is 56% chlorine used to keep the reservoir sterile and helps the rootzone stay clean too. 3ppm.

There are microbes people use if thats why that makes sense but fertilizer for dtw coco doesnt need it. Just a fyi as that would be burden some to me.

Whats the total ec with nutes?
