You have to treat the COCO COIR as the buffer.

When your "Buddy" Tim told you to check your PPM's in your run off, you should have ran..
You can gain info by testing the pH, but PPM/TDS will always be high coming out. Just be sure you have a good amount of run off, and pH around 6.0 going in. The other FLAG was when he wanted you test the "Hardness" of your RO. WTF!? You can add Cal/Mag or tap water to get your calcium. Just get it to around 125/150 PPM. As you get more "LIKES" you can post your pictures.

Actually I wondered if I didn't fully understand the meaning of soft and hard water...
Great post.
Though how do you guys check to see if your plant is hungry or full???
You need to know your runoff. Period.
So you know what it needs!
Lockout and deficiency look EXACTLY the same.

What do you think about spray feeding? Do you think spraying with epsom salt water would help here?

How about a fresh pic or two. I think your issue was planting into unbuffered coco.
The new growth in the one pic looked pretty good. I would stay with your current feeding.
More plants are killed by over attention rather than lack of care.
I read the article you posted. I agree with you about the buffering coco issue. I will change this next go around for sure but what to do to make sure this plant recovers and produces a good yield this go around.
I can't get this site to add any pictures. I posted new ones on the other page..

No I have figured out less is better but I still have same issue. It is starting on the next set of leaves. But I will do nothing until I am sure am happy with the answer

I saw on the other page you are only using 2ml of CalMag and 6ml GB. Too much GB and not enough CalMag.
I'm not sure what answer you are looking for. Jypsy Dog and I have already posted our opinions on what you should do.
I'm afraid lack of patience is your biggest enemy.

I wanted to make sure I wasn't needing to try and buffer my coco. I have changed the numbers since we talked. I added 1ml to cal mag which make 3ml and dropped GB to 5ml. Do I need to go more?
I just haven't changed the numbers yet
