The green color of healthy plants
But that doesn't give anyone anything to help fix!
Just joking. Beautiful looking garden there.

I'm was so tired of looking at one deficiency or another in my grow, finally got a soil mix that's proper. Deleted the coco, some guys can make it work, this guy couldn't, at least not yet. Thanks!
I've never done coco. I grow in peat which is relatively similar, but not the same. I do have a couple of condensed bricks of coco, I just haven't tried it yet.
I'm in the process of completely switching nutrients right now though, so maybe I'll start a couple coco plants for my initial testing experiments, just to see how it performs in coco by someone with no coco experience whatsoever.

I switched to peat as well along with rice hulls. Coco gave some amazing roots but constantly chasing down cal mag deficiencies. Next time I'm going to prep the coco with a really strong cal mag solution, I don't think it was enough prep. It also doesn't help as it breaks down it then binds with cal mag so I could imagine as it gets older the problems may resurface, dunno.
