I flush with nothing but ph RO water. If you have flush product obviously flush with that. Get ppm as low as you can. Let it sit until the next day or next watering then feed as directed by your nutrients brand.

A lot of the flushing products use citric adic in them. It's a chealating agent.

Thanks for the info each and everyone of you. New growth is coming in lush green while the old leaves are looking a lot better. I raised my ph which I think was the main cause and stopped giving Calmag as a supplement. I was also doing epsom salt sprays at night when lights were off. I think the main cause was my ph and my plants just seem to like a higher ph. Thank you everyone.

New growth has curled serrated edges also. That's weird.

Coco Coir - feed/water every day 2-3 times to keep the sheep happy( I feed /water once per day) the PH -5.8-6.3 max, feed 650 PPM MAX(E.C- 1.2-1.3 depending what scale your using) ---- PH is a common issue for new growers in coco coir - dont listen to people how dont grow the same style as you - they speak with forked tongue- use tap water dude has cal mag - to many issue with RO waste of time

Show me where I hurt you. I'm going to guess it's in the middle of the left side of the diagram.

Do you not see curled serrated edges? He had them before and they are the new growth too. Foliar feeding maybe temporarily fix the issue, but if the plant can't take up magnesium in the roots there's something else going on.

But maybe you're right. What do I know about growing in coco.

That’s why I raised the ph because in coco magnesium needs a ph of 6.0 or higher to be able to use the magnesium better.

That's great. Was your lower pH also the cause the curled serrated edges of the leaves?

They are not curled though and if they are they are hardly curled as long as they are green and growing healthy then I would not consider that an issue. But since on the subject what would you think the curled edges be from?

have seen so many autos get a hook/curl in the tip of early growth, found its caused by watering to much when young, you dont need to water the whole pot, approx 2" around the plant to about 2 1/2- 3 weeks old then flood the coco ,then just water/feed the same every day , dont change it - keep that PH correct and another thing water( use tap and adjust ec/ppm to suit) temp approx 18-20 degrees max ( just my view )

Normally it's from light or heat stress.

Maybe it's not and just looks like it.
Take a picture of the plant from the side?

I have chloramines in my water which is why I use ro water.
