I'm running Earth Juice in coco,3rd week bloom
25ml/gal Grow (2-1-1)
15ml/gal Bloom (0-3-1)
10ml/gal catalyst
5ml\gal Molasses
0.25 teaspoon/gal Epsom salts
Ph entering Coco = 5.0
PPM = 900
Plus bat guano/earthworm castings in a sock for bacteria.
I usually put the solution into the beds @ 5.0 pH as the EJ nutes are very acidic and they start out at 4.0 climbing to 5.0 after 36 hours of aeration.
Plants were fine after initial problems with new coco having an alkaline bias.
Now the plants are starting to pale off from the bottom up.The whole fan leaves gradually pale off uniformly like an N def with brown patches on tips and some edges,not all the leaves though.It's only the plants right under the bulbs(1000w hps air cooled) that are showing the most paleness
I just did a soil test as prescribed.
the results were
Ph = 5.9
PPM = 300
I am assuming that I'm not using a strong enough solution and am getting K def.
Lighting is 3000w over 50 sq foot
Does this sound correct?
1st time using coco with 20 yrs experience of growing.
I used to use metanaturals but cant find it any more the bloom on that was 1-5-5 so had lots of K(I still have 2 liters left of that)
I've started to add some of the meta 1-5-5 @ 5ml/gal to try to correct the problem.
Any advise would be welcomed.
Thanks
