Nute burn. How often are you watering? If you let coco dry out too much between watering, there will be salt build up.

Burn.

Wash with a lot of water. Add gypsum and wash it in well. Let things dry out a bit.

Do you have a conductivity meter? Catch what ever is coming out the bottom and see what the conductivity is. Post the number. Look at the stems and make sure you don't have some kind of stem rot.

The antagonistic element to potassium and magnesium and sodium is calcium. Hard to go wrong adding it in the form of sulfate, it washes other elements out.

Care to tell us what you have been doing?

looks overfed to me and your pH might be off. you don't just feed plants whatever some guy on the internet or a grow schedule tells you. little plants need little food, large plants need large food.

Hi I'm feeding them canna coco a+b and my normal water is 0.6 so it's only really 0.5 ec and they were only watered once and went like this, I'm helping a friend as this kept happening to him so I bought a whole new set up and done everything how I normally do it which always works for me and this happens?

It is really important to understand what is in that 0.6! It if is bicarbonate, etc.... get a water analysis and a cheapy RO system.

did you transplant them into the coco as you switched into the tent? did you wash your coco before you transplanted? it almost looks like salt burn and perhaps a high pH

you are experiencing coco lockout, you are messing with the ph too much.

water your plants more, with N high for a bit, this will correct the C:K ratios


and why why why am i seeing bone dry coco? never never let coco go dry

yes I planted in coco as I put in tent but I also repotted the soil 1 in soil and its going the same way as the coco 1, 1 is in soil the other in coco I done it as a test and they are both showing the same symptoms

Your ec doesn't seem too high. Did you spray your plants with anything (pesticide perhaps)? If you did maybe something is causing phytotoxicity? Does your new setup include the tent? I've heard of materials used in certain brands of tent causing off gassing which kills your plants no matter what you do. I think there are/were some black vinyl tubing that was doing the same thing.

Do a search for off-gassing. It's talked about here on IC just have to dig for it.

Good luck.

OP, with feed levels so low, and flushing nutrients from the media, you are basically starving them to death. Id bet you money if you began feeding them at 600ppm on a regular basis, and never doing water only, just half-feeds, you would see a tremendous turn around in your plants.

High temps, plus a 600w is going to demand a higher feed, than if you had them say under t5's. Even then I maintain my plants under HO54wT5(6) with higher feed levels than you are providing plants that sit under a 600w bulb.

Going forward, if you have a need to flush, you should use a dilute nutrient solution around 200-250 PPM, so that the media still has nutrients in it when the flushing is finished.
