Hey guys new to posting but I have followed this excellence for awhile. I plan on running 64 plants in a auto drip vertical sog octagon style. I will be posting pictures and updating regularly with detailed notes I am looking forward to all advice and criticisms. Wish me luck:thank you:

Here is the cataract clone I am mothering. Hand water for now with full strength hesi nutes mixed in distiller water. And alternating with great white and hesi super vit and quarter strength root. She is in a 10 gallon grow bag so I am watering light while she roots I'm noticing slight yellowing on the leaves. Possible calm at deficiency I'm not sure

I thought you meant SOG but then saw you have your plant in a 10 gal grow bag.

So are you doing a 64 plant SCROG?

When using distilled water, you will almost always have to add a calcium & magnesium supplement (like "cal-mag plus"). I have soft tap water (60 ppm) and I had to add about 2.5mL/gal of cal-mag plus to get the ppms to around 150 before I added my base nutrients.

I have stopped using it since I started using MaxiBloom and things look good but MB has higher levels of Ca and Mg than most fertilizers.

Looks like an Mg def. The folded leaf margins, red petioles, chlorosis...

The burnt tips are a symptom of Ca def as well so you might really have a "calmag" deficiency. i dont like to use the term "calmag" in that sense but thats just me.

It looks like there is also slight over fertilization going on from nitrogen- which is a sign of salt buildup inside the medium. This could be happening because you are feeding full strength nutes but not watering until heavy runoff which is essential. Even if a plant does not have a fully developed root system its a good idead to saturate the medium with the initial watering and let the roots dry the pot out some before watering again. Atleast thats my method for white roots.

Also, if coco has too much of one element it has the ability to antagonize other available elemental salts. This could be the reason for the mg deficiency. Of coarse this is all speculation.
