Is it a lockout? should i raise ph?

I dont have a ppm tester yet. hoping to get a meter friday (payday) that shows ph ec/ppm. im tired of the little ph test kit already. fox farms trio

is the liquid nutrient solution i am using.

I have been growing in Coco for years and I never drop my pH below 5.8 and I tend to veg at 6.0-6.2 with optimal results . It is best to stay on the high side verses the lower side especially when using a cheap test kit .

Allowing Coco to become dry can bring on deficiencies very fast and you will need to use cal mag at 5 ml to a gallon to avoid the calcium issues your seeing and do feed it more as it is not a seedling

This is exactly what I thought I'd hear. I assumed my ph was too low. I'm going to start easing it up now. Thank you!

Yes I just noticed that about an hour ago. Is this going to be a problem? I think the "grow big" is the only different one between hydro and soil. If it is a potential problem ill try and get the hydro solution instead.

I use General Hydroponics nutrients with Coco and Perlite with a PH of 6.4 and mine grow perfect.
