Hey everyone, right i have 4 plants, one doing very good, 1st pic, second kinda smaller but looks on track, 3rd is cutoff, with normal roots recovering healthy and for problem i got 4th, identical to two first ones but ill, can somebody be a doctor and tell me what could be with it? All plants in bufered coco, ph round 6-6.5. Ec 840ppm, hornet coco a+b, fulvic, root exelurator in watering solution. Temps 22-28°C ,humidity 60-35%, varies max after watering and drying up to next water, not letting coco to dry, runoff 20%, watering daily. Pots 7.5l, repoted yesterday but syptoms were there before that.

First i thought its root fungus,but reckon might be something else. Im with coco so i dont know if its possible to overwater them, i colect runoff so they wont sit in water. Dunno what actions to take.. left it untill find answer :(

Hmm i might lower it on next watering, just weird that other plants dont mind but this struggle.
Ppms are too hot 350-400 is what that should be at imo

add some microbes as well, once a week just a little bit so you know they are in there working for you.

Two cuts from the same mother plant will be genetically the same but if one lags behind in the growth dept. then its needs will change from the other one.

is that ec reading from your soil or the water you give them? if its in your soil then flush it with plain water (perhaps bring the ph down around 5.5 and 6.0, because could be a lockout of secondary elements like Cal, Mag and S also the uptakezone of macro elements like Mn, Fe, B, Zn, etc )... to get such high ec you must've putted too much nutes in your feedings. are you following feeding schedule according to the bottle's recommendation? if yes try to use 1/3 of the recommended amount, especially for such young girls.

Is it high? I was raising ppm every 3days ish by 0.2 untill 1.2=840ppm, my water only 0.2
Not sure how you are getting 840ppm if the water is 0.2 ec and the final is 1.2. The max would be 500 ppm. But definitely less because the non nute additives are adding to the EC.

I only added 0.5ml per litre of a and same of b; 0.5per litre of fulvic, them both recomended is 2ml/l, then added 5ml of root exelurator instead of 15ml recomendation. All comes to 1ec now

U reckon i need to add calmag to it? By taking less a+b per litre? Ive prebufered coco with 150% dose of calmag, and rinsed before transplanting

I think he meant that his tap water is 0.2, then he was stepping every feeding up by 0.2 until he got to 1.2 EC, which is 840 ppm on the 700 scale (perfect example why we should forget ppm and only use EC when communicating with each other).
