Hello, first a little back ground. I have a few grows under my belt now. I started with aero which was a mistake, then I moved to using coco coir. I really liked it at first, but I just haven't been able to get the results. My last batch was 2 plants that didn't fill out at all. It seemed like I had a P def. the entire grow. That was my 4th harvest in coco. I hit a patch and just lost 3 plants one that was 4 weeks into flower, and the latest 2 wilted and died on me before I could flip them. I will have to post pics later of the ones I have left. My 2 moms 1 is Wolverine Kush and the other I call Bitch plant. She is from bag seed and is really stuburn, she got sick and dropped 75% of her leaves and about half the plant died off. I was able to nurse her back to health and she seems to be doing well for past few months. Hence why I call her Bitch plant.
I use PBP Grow/Bloom Cal/Mag +, Super Thrive, Beneficial Biologics, and Hydroplex.
I use tap water in a 25 gal. res that I bubble PPM 125-150 after 24hrs of bubble.
I do a micro grow with 2-3 plants in flower using 1/2gal nursery pots.
Botanicare Coir also a 75% 25% mix with perlite and I add bone meal blood meal and worm casings when I mix my medium up. I let it cook from a week or 2 before I use it.
I keep running into the same issues with my plants. I have tried several different things from raising my PH lowering my PH, cutting nutes ppm adding ppm. flushing once a week, not flushing. Feeding every other day, giving a dry out time, feeding once a week. I just can't seem to get this figured out. The harvests I have had the buds didn't seem to have any bulk to them really airy, still good, just not what I want.
Now my issue.
The leaves on the top of the plants show what I think is P def. the darker green necrosis begining at the tips until it dies off. Some clawing action with Bi-folding down, and deformed leaves a that creates this damage toward the back of the fan leaves then they curl inwards back toward the plant. White necrosis spots on leaves about mid plant, not little one good size white spots then necrosis of that leaf. New growth on the top the serrations are deformed and bend upwards, and eventually cause the leaf to fold in half almost. I have tried continually feeding veg. at 5.5-5.8 and 5.8-6.0 ph for flower. I could throw in stunted growth also. And purpleing on the stems, but that could be from my temps dipping into the mid 50's - 60's when lights are off. and 70-80 when lights are on. I know I need to work on my temps but that's coming down the road, it's just really cold here right now. I just need some expert help. Am i growing in too small of pots, what am I not seeing or missing here. I can post pics later on tonight.
I did just start 2 more for flower in about a week or so. But I made 2 10L hempy buckets with straight perlite and about 1gal to be hold in the res drain hole 2 inches from the bottom. I am going to flower these in the buckets to see if there is a difference. Any advice welcomed. Please help. I am stumped.
