I have always heard always use at least a bit of nutes, never use just plain water.

2340ppm haha youre a lucky lad. That would've went a lot worse for most people. Bear in mind too, that's just the run off. The middle of the pot will be a lot higher than that.
Thank you for listening though mate. 4/5 times I try tell someone this another will turn up waffling about how innacurate the drip test it is and convince them not to do it. Give her some calmag she'll be good as gold.
Drives me mental lol. I just let them get on with it though. Not here to argue, just like to help where I can.
You can flush in Coco coir but I'm not familiar with what you've got there. It doesn't look like mine. Also flushing would maybe release more of whats in there so maybe a bad idea.
I'd say a few days of just water till it calms down then reassess the situation.

I’m not a coco user myself but I think I’ve read a couple times that they sometimes flush with water and then immediately follow with the appropriate nute mix. @Pennywise and @Asesino85 both use coco for sure. I’d hate to say something wrong without giving these gurus a chance to come in and correct me! Lol
I never really "flush" coco. I just mix a weak solution and run that through to reset things then go back to normal EC.
Yup I try to run a balanced feed of 1-1-1 NPK at like 450-500ppm. Give it an overboard amount of water and dump the runoff. if your ppm is coming out 2340 ppm try to get it so the runoff is in at least the 700-800 range but I try to get it down to whatever is going in is what is coming out in runoff. Then I know for sure the whole pot is completely reset.
This guy knows what he is talking about. My only correction might be to do cal-mag with just a little Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorous. That way if the plant is locked out of one thing it can still grab some of the other minerals to get back on track.
I always feed calmag regardless, seems most of the time Nitrogen is the offender.

Haha I got you. I learnt to trust people experience and also read a lot myself to learn so that I can be able to understand things. I ll water with soft ph'ed solution till things get better. Thanks a lot for your precious help!
Haha thanks brother
Yeah that's the best choice I guess

Thanks guys! Precious advices here! I ll do water Ase advises. Regarding calmag I ve always had 1ml/L till week 2 of veg. Thanks again guys! Tomorrow I ll sort things. The good thing is that this allowed me to fix my watering which works wonders now

Looks like I’m following this one. Growing some green crack myself right now.

I started to add 2 gal of ph'ed 5.8 water to start solving stuff. But it s like the more I add water the higher the ppm of the runoff is. So I decided to take the girls out to give them a real big amount of water. Currently they are drying. It s sunny outside
First pistils on the smaller one which is becoming the biggest now.
When they dry enough I ll put then inside and give them a light feed. I m disappointed again I m failing this grow.

Hang in there, we'll get it sorted
It's looking like a Mag deficiency.

Thanks for your help. The article says :
"
Adding nutes to your water can cause the pH to get low as well, so its best to test your pH of your water before and after you add your nutes. Nutrient deficiencies are mostly caused by human mistakes,along with to much or to little of the amount of nutrients available. The best range for nutrients to be absorbed is between a pH of 5 and 7 and a (TDS) range of 800 to 3000 PPM."
They should correct it a bit..... I thought 800 was cool at first....
More times than not it's PH or environment

Yeah I know mine seemed ok. I was referring about the 800-3000 ppm. What's good value?

Today the smaller one looks better than yesterday. I few minutes hours after flushing I noticed she seemed to have enyoyed it. The bigger one shows no visible difference. Today I decided to give them 2ml/l of advanced nutrients Revive through foliar feeding and turned off 1 lights so now only 3 out of 5 running. I don't think think they would benefit more lights as they need to recover. I also changed my light schedule yesterday night. I m on 13/11 now till they get hopefully better. During one of my previous grow 13/11 seemed to give them time to recover before keeping flowering. It delayed harvest a lot but gave them time to recover. It s the first time I m trying to delay things instead of being in a hurry to show pistils everywhere.

Yesterday morning to this morning.
It was a pain to flush both 5 gal pots with ph'ed water. From the sharing of Pennywise could see that my leaves were looking like K deficiency. Last run I had same trouble a couple day when my ph seemed to low. So all of this made me decide to flush with my outdoor watering hose. I watered until I could see clear water coming out of the fabric pots. I didn't measure ph of runoff as I was lazy after so many actions. 2 days later without watering an a couple unhealthy leaves plucking, they look better and were ready to be watering this morning. So I made a 600ppm mix (around1/5 dosage of everything) ph'ed to 5.7 and gave them 2L each

As I stated earlier, my last two runs were feeded way more than this one without trouble at that state of growth. Looking closer at the plants here reveals some unhealthy bud sites close to super healthy ones. So I truly spot the watering system as a possible part of the problem. When I removed the coco mats I could see some drippers were blocked and others weren't opened enough. So I had areas not covered by watering. I know even a single dripper at the bottom of the main stalk can works wonder in soil but I have always felt coco doesn't hold and spread water the same. You can water a single zone of a coco pot and have runoff and leaving you with another part almost entirely dry. This doesn't seem to happen at that extend in soil. At least the bottom part will be entirely saturated of water even if a single zone is watered. I don't know if others share my feelings and experiences but anyway I needed to share this. Now the watering system works wonders and like in my third grow, flushing appeared as a magical stuff! So let's hope things will keep getting better
Yep coco needs watered completely or you’ll end up with hot spots that will burn your plants.

This morning, after two days without watering, it was time to water and feed since flush. I feeded with 700 ppm solution ph 5.7. 5 Liters for each plant to be sure to have my runoff ph close to what I put in. Then I gave them 3ml/l of advanced nutrients revive again. They could dry 2 hours before sunrise. Hope they will keep recovering
