It's only getting worse

they buffer coco because it will bond with calcium and magnesium, taking it out of your nurtrient solution, until all the bonding sites in the coco are filled up. there are a lot of them and it takes quite a while for that to happen. your coco can "steal" at least half of the cal and mag you add to your solution all the way to the middle of flower, when the bonding sites are finally full...then all the extra calmag you've been adding to make up the deficit is suddenly available...and burns the hell out of your plant....much better to buy buffered coco, or do it yourself as you're re-hydrating it.

you might have dirty coco. i would give it a good flushing, with ph'ed water at 100 ppm nutes, even though you're flushing it. i'd put at least a gallon per gallon of pot size through it, then let it sit for a day or two before you resume daily watering. i like to feed lightly every watering, with a decent amount of run off every third time. then start at 150-200 ppm of ph'ed nutes and work up from there.
so many theories right now, a reset and fresh start couldn't hurt. one of the good things about coco

I will definitely flushing her ASAP, I appreciate your time & help ♥ I just can't believe how fast she's dying

Your problem is resulting from your pH being way off for coco as @shrxhky420 told you. Now flush like @Roger A. Shrubber told you and start feeding with a pH that shrx told you and you will be good to go. How do I know? I grow solely in coco and I've had your problem when I've allowed the pH in my reservoir to drift up.

♥♥♥♥ Will do! She was happy just a few days ago but now she looks horrible!!! I am praying she'll bounce back ASAP. I wish I had a time machine to avoid this issue

the light colors
inthe niddle of the plant suggests iinproper loghtung. get a viparspectpra it will definitely and literally help your yield and colors of beatuiful flowrrs. get viparspectra today, i would suggest a viparspectratera p5000 watt. ( actual powr draw 140 watts from wall) it will fix your plants, its no problem it just needs better light

Honestly I doubt my CMH 315w, 4200K is the issue cause my other pants that are in soil are 100% fine... Lighting issue never was an issue. Thanks though

actually it is, try a viparspectra it will increas your yeilds over that dinosaur OLD TECHNOLOGY truck lamp you are using. viparspectra gives off FULL SPECTRUM, if you know what that even means, youll realize the error of your ways.




thanks though

ps will i crease your yheilds over 100-300% during harvest

Are you really trying to persuade me to buy one dude... Are you an advertiser?!? It's not a lighting issue ‍♂‍♂‍♂

That's the beauty of coco or other hydro substrates you can turn the plant quickly, positive or negative.

Alright so I flushed her with 15 gallons. I checked the runoff, it was at 6.5 (same ph when she was in a solo cup with just regular tap water) just veryyyy dark runoff water


I mixed 3ml of Clonex solution since it has everything a plant needs, just a light amount with 3 ml of CalMag a gallon; ph at 5.8


Poured in the pot and measured the runoff ph... It was 6.8???

so the runoff ph was 6.8 now what? You have a number what does that tell you? Nothing thats what. Its a useless piece of information and its fucking with your head.

This is going into what pot/plant the ones pictured in the o/p? What was the ppm of this? This is a number you can work with. Doesnt seem like very much in the ppm dept. = under fed.

i'll need to get my hands on a tds meter next week. Well, it might be "under fed" right now but I'd rather ease her back into swing of things instead of giving her half or full strength. The plant won't show me if it was under fed or overfed instantly. It takes more than 5 minutes after flushing the pot... I'll be following @curious2garden's & Roger's advice. Seems like you're an aggressive type. No need for any aggressiveness in this thread.

As for the 6.8 number fucking with my head, you're correct. I just don't know it meant anything. With your reply of "it's just fucking with my head". I assume it's normal... There could be more details than just that, right? The answer to my current issue has been answered in the previous replies. I'll learn how to correct my wrongs eventually. Have a good one Bernie (:
