would it be better than calmag? im using ro water here. while understanding some of the organic chem math, im still learning about the coco cec issue, and now dealing with it.

i have had some hempy buckets just go awesome and others completely stall out

Great info Cook! I would like your posts but can't yet. Now how do I restore my brain from mush?

Sorry if this has been covered already. If you were to flush your plants improperly with soft water, how do/can you restore the CEC? Do you just need to flush again with a dose of the nutrient solution to restore it? Or do you need to soak the coco?

I have been burned by this a couple of times in mid-late flower, quite literally. I think I let the coco dry out too much, get salt burn, flush (with 0.6ec solution), burn continues, flush again, burn continues, get pissed off and flush with my soft <10ppm water. That finally removes the salts but I think by then I've totally screwed the coco's CEC and get potassium like deficiencies for the remainder of the grow. Which in itself also looks like a continuation of the salt burn.

Nevertheless, I think Cook has triggered a few ah-ha moments for me and coco. Can't wait for the next grow. Thanks again Cook!

Pictures would be a big plus, but sounds like a CalMag deficiency to me.

Grows are long gone Bwana and I didn't take pics sorry mate

Yeah whatever it was, it spiralled out of control. It actually put me off coco until I found this forum about a month ago. I realised what I was doing wrong and now I'm having another crack at it with some super skunk, ak x ww, budzilla and pineapple chunk. I have veg sorted in coco and will clone/flower until I nail it

good way of explaining
