Subbed fella!

I notice you've been having to flush, and been suffering from some nute burn issues...

One thing I can see being a problem is the soil / coco mix. They really are two different growing methods. I mainly use 100% coco, and feed the plants every day @1/3 strength. If I'm growing in soil, then I wont feed the first couple of weeks, then it would really only be a feed every 7 days or so, plain water in between.

What coco are you using? I stick with Canna Coco, mainly because it's thoroughly prepared before sale so there is no residual salt in the medium, some other brands of coco, especially bricked coco can have a very high salt content and requires a lot of flushing before it can be used.

Idk the brand it was a brick from the hydro store and as for soil I'm using happy frog and the coco bri n perlite I mix the coco in a gallon of ro water for a day atleast but sumtymes up 2 3 days while it drains out ina five gallon bucket with holes drilled in bottom n I stir every so often n its dryish by the nex day so sumtymes i add alil mre water but thanx for the info i really appreciate it so what do u think I shud do for my 2 new seedlings a straight coco mix or my happy frog soil since I only got alil left I only did 2 mre seeds bcuz I Wana tryn go organic after I use up my soil n nutes n stuff but need 2 learn alil more first lol but yea these 2 r my main issue ones they stayn kinda droopy and as for nute burn I did a super tea mix n I used sum bat guano in it also and it has alot of N in it n I think I jus did 2 much so wud u suggest I do a flush for these or jus let em dry out n continue as normal?? Or it mite b tht I got sum water on her n left her under the light cuz I think I remeber I had sum on sum leaves n I tryd win it off but didn't hav my towel handy like I normally do so I can soak up any drips tht I get on the leaves but yea let me no wat u think
 
As 4 the brand of coco I will call the store and ask them what it is as 2 I for got and I no longer have the wraper lol

this is givn a big issue the leaves r curling up and the stems r purple reddish color n really droopy shud I may transplant them into straight soil??
 
So I'm definitely thinkn of doin jus straight soil or straight coco with my new babies cuz the girls in the green forest 2 of em r havn issues and another r jus being difficult lol I've been doin jus a cup of water for most of them but the bigger ones I do a cup Ana half an I noticed tht the 2 jus bein difficult mite jus need a bit mre water as 2 y her leafs r tacoing like for lack of a better word lol but yea I decided 2 go against my idea of seeing wat the lowest amount of water cud b for a plant an have it survive but I'm thinkn ima have 2 bump up the bigger 2 2 about 2 cups at watering tyme n go from there
 
How often are you watering? It sounds a bit strange the way you're watering. Usually (not always ) it's good to soak them right down and get some good runoff out the bottom - then let it get fairly dry before watering again. Coco can be treated different ways and you're mixed mediums. but runoff- good.
The tacoing is usually from from heat stress.
 
Well thts what I thought to n maybe it's cuz I mixed mediums idk but wen I do mre watering they aren't draining gud so I put mre holes in my buckets with this harvest but the same issue so I'm guessn it's my mediums but ad for heat stress I didn't think the leds really had tht much but maybe I'll try movn the lights up a bit n c if tht dnt help but I have a big floor fan goin and alil desk fan on oscillating so I thought tht wud hav ben enuf but thanx for the info on as 2 y my plant cud b tacoing I really appreciate it
 
Do u think I shud re pot them in jus plain soil or jus keep them the way they r?
 
As 4 the brand of coco I'm using its simple path coco

The 2 pics above r the same plant jus different angles idk what cud b causing this on the leaves I thought it mite hav been from water on the leaf but now I dnt think so if any1 cud giv me alil info on this I wud greatly appreciate it thank u

This is the 1 that has ben tacoing so I repoted her into straight happy frog soil no coco n see how she does with tht
 
What color are the spots on the leaves you're asking about - can you get a photo in natural light? The pattern looks like calcium deficiency but it's hard to know. I'm assuming they're not bright red in real life.
 
I'll bring it outside and take a pic and show u

K so I thought it mite have jus been cuz the leaves tht were affected prolly didn't come back so I cut em off yesterday now I cuda jus missed this 1 or the problem is still there but they r light brown spots and as for calcium I am using 5ml of cal-mag in a gallon of water wen I feed do u think it's cuz of mixed mediums shud I may b go 2 straight happy frog soil

this 1 I put into straight soil yesterday but she has been the 1 tacoing and Havn red stems
 
The spots are classic calcium deficiency. 5ml/gallon is generally enough to get the job done so maybe it's just a leftover leaf- otherwise worth googling whether there are cases where people have had to use a little more.
As for switching to one or the other -soil/coco, probably a good idea though I can't offer any specific advice or experience since I haven't been in that situation myself. People have success mixing coco with supplements and using it like organic soil - but haven't seen many people actually mixing soil and coco together. They generally operate under a quite different ph range from each other, which I could see being a problem.
 
:thumb:I think what I'm guna do is jus switch the ones tht r Havn issues 2 jus straight soil and leave the 1s tht r doin gud and go from there. :thanks: for all the info I really appreciate it. I so dnt wana lose my harvest after all the hard work I'm putting into these ladies I really hope it pays off. My first harvest which was a hydro run didnt produce tht much 8.3 after dried but only 1 plant. So I'm really hoping these turn out a lot better so :thanks: again for the help :Namaste:.
 
:thanks: I really tryn 2 get these girls under control lol I think after I go 2 jus a straight medium I will b better off but :thanks: glad 2 hav u aboard the 1s I have in my baby chamber now I'm guna let veg into sum monsters I'm thinkn on bout veging at least 3 months but we will c as we move along but yea glad 2 hav u here hope u enjoy the show:thumb: :Namaste:

Went into the baby chamber 2day 2 turn lights on n I noticed my biggest 1 had top leaves start in 2 taco ever so slightly so I raised the right side of the light tht is closest 2 her in hopes of reducing sum heat. I turned of the a.c. 2 the room las night so I'm thinkn tht she got 2 hot in the tent with it closed wen I turnd the a.c. off she tacoed on me so I guna keep the a.c. on all the time n c if tht dnt help:Namaste:
