So i'm currently running in coco, 1xSatori and 2xSkunk#1 at an EC of 2.0 with canna A+B and ionic boost as a supplement, and the run-off EC is mega-low coming back at 0.4-0.6. My res ph going in is 6.0.

I have a mg def that doesn't seem to be sorting itself out either, but i'm more concerned at the way the plants are feeding. I would ususally just keep on increasing as the plants dictate, but at this rate they'll be up at 3.0 before long.

I was using Ionic hydro at first, but I was getting micro nute defs - in particular Mangesium - so I switched to Canna A+B after a thorough flush with pH 6.0 H2O. I thought that the canna nutes would sort out the Mg def within a week, but it hasn't and they are still calling out for more food.

Any ideas?

Looks like mg deficiency. Try Sensi mg grow and bloom Im haveing a Mg problem now and the Sensi Mg Bloom looks like it's working. Sensi Cal Mg mix is made by Advanced Nutrients and provides all of the elemants needed N,Ca,Mg,Fe,Mn,Zn,Cu,B,Mo and Co

Make sure your ph is within the right range for the midium your growing in. Im not familiar with coco.
