I’ve been running tupar for a couple years myself. I’ve noticed over the last 6 months some inconsistencies from bag to bag. I’m starting to use Mother Earth coco side by side with tupar and jacks nutes. Same strain same everything but the tupar is showing some cal/mag deficiencies from time to time. Some bags are worse then others. Was told by local hydro store that there was an issue with bags being stored outside but who knows. I can tell you that I’m gonna be running pure Mother Earth with nothing added.

what sort of ec were/are you guys all running in coco. I think I just need to feed a little bit more. I know tupur is designed for multiple feeds a day and they were only getting fed every 24 hours and drying out in between sometimes in little tiny pots.

With blumats I run 1.2-1.4 max. Start 1.0 first week of flower and hit 1.4 week 5 flowering. This with tap water 0.3 ec. No cal mag. Some strains burn tips slightly at 1.4. But every nute brands is different I never use jacks. Can you setup second rez with different nute brand that you deal before in coco?

1.9-2.0. Also supplementing co2.

Every problem I've ever had with DTW coco has been solved by watering more frequently. Drying out of any kind definitely always results in visible issues. Keep the coco wet and you'll be fine.

Humidity?

Delta 9 recommends 600 in jacks .Open up those blumats keep that coco soaked keep them wet at all times lots of runoff i use a manifold wit small pots ..Those nutes are cheap wont cost ya much to DTW..Wish i could get jacks up north here..

1.2 to 1.4 in coco for me.ph 6.2 ,3 to 4 feeds a day.

thanks everyone. gonna set them at 1.4 and kick back. noticed some better growth but the old affected stuff is still ugly and im assuming it wont change back. the foliar seems to be helping. i hand watered 1.4 ec to make sure there was plenty of food in the coco and now the blumats should start taking over after today.

all the other parameters are in check.

rH is around mid 60's and the leaf temp is about 78 on average so im in the perfect range for VPD more or less. i think when i add the mothers in there as well i may get a little more humidity bump which would be good.
