Id have to advise you to fill out the diagnostic form they have here so people will be able to help you out more. That appears to be necrosis due to ph fluctuations or over/under feeding.

Fill out that form and I'm sure others will chime in.

Good luck.

MrDank,

My first impression with nothing but a few pictures is: You have pH lockout along with a lack of N (hence the yellowing).

Add more Grow nutes (unless in flower, which the yellowing is to be expected) & check your pH.

Why do people buy coco then treat it like soil? You should be feeding and watering DAILY and your pH should be 5.6-5.8. Whether or not that will cure your current problem, I don't know, but it'll give you overall healthier plants and bigger buds.

My coco sits at 6.3, I don't feed or water every day, and my garden is a-okay. Big and healthy.

Anyway, you got a case of cal def along with N def. If they are in veg, use more grow. 600w is a lot of light and plants, especially in hydro, will grow and want the nitrogen there. Same with the calcium.

If they are in bloom then the yellowing is normal throughout the bloom cycle.

Use CalMag for the calcium def. You don't say what and how much nutes you are using, but chances are there isn't any or enough calcium in them, hence the spotting problem.

I would say this could easily be part of your problem. When watering in coco, you're supposed to water the same ppm every time you water.

1200ppm could be too much for some strains, especially if that's at the 0.5 conversion. When you start watering with nutrients every time I'd keep a close eye to make sure they don't start to get nute burn. If they do I'd lower it closer to 600-700ppm @ 0.5 conversion and see what happens.

I've only grown mothers in coco, but I haven't had to go above 500ppm @ 0.5 conversion yet to keep them happy while they're in veg. This is with RO water.
