Severe Nitrogen overdose comes to mind... what'chu running for feed thurrr?

yea 2 of 4 probably isnt that. just wondering though i myself and others have had issues with FF nutes doing weird things after being quite old. well then my Q isnt any help wish i could help im a soil guy who is half way in my switch to hydro. so coco is not my deal good luck sorry. ps you might want to replace that grow big anyway though as i believe it has a shelf life of 2 years from MFG and is actually best refrigerated but i dont do that either.
These questions come to mind with the little info you've given:
Did you change your coco brand?
Have you been shaking the FF bottle?
Do you hear rattling in it?
Have you been shaking it before use all along?
Has your water source changed?
Are you running pH down, and if so, what are you using to do it?
Have you completed the runoff test?
Why haven't you filled out the troubleshooting form yet?
There's not enoguh coffee in the world to make me want to play 20 questions this early...

When was the last time you watered it?
How much did you water it?
Is the soil wet/moist/dry?
I don't know for sure about the Nitrogen overdose, but I will say stiff, claw like leaves almost always indicate over watering. I'm not for sure about that either.

I just thought I'd post a pic to see if anyone could tell just by looking at it.
Same coco. Ph and all that is fine. I hear no rattling in FF.. I water half a gallon daily in each 3 gallon pot. Coco stays wet-moist
I haven't noticed any bugs. THe leaves that are curling become dark green and hard.. they break off if you bend them near the curls.

Whodi, I hate to say it but if I were you I would spring for a set of Canna Coco nutes that will make your life SUPER EXTRA EASIER and really, it's a great product. Since that looks like a N overdose from here, I'd start with a nice flush and then give your plants the bloom fert base until you see new growth looking flatter, and perhaps a bit hungry for N again. The plant can store a significant amount of Nitrogen in its leaves so running a bloom fert after a N overdose is perfectly safe for a while!
Good luck!

You can overwater anything if the interstitial spaces are small enough or your drainage is bad enough. Like the old promix example; as it breaks down it turns mucky and you can end up with a mess if your drain holes clog or are insufficient. Also you see those pots with built in drain trays? Those drain so poorly you could make a vertiable coco swamp in the pot. Uck.
You can tell if you are overwatering though- you should be able to feel a DISTINCT lightness to a pot that you are about to water again. Coco should never be alllowed to dry out completely, but if you are waiting until there is less heft to it, you are just fine.
