Hello guys, I'm new to growing and I need a little help. I'm growing some THC Bomb by Bomb Seeds and it seems like both of my babies have run into the same issue. I'm growing in 100% CoCo with about an inch of perlite on the bottom for drainage and an inch on top to keep pests at bay. I use tap water, but I let it sit with the top off for a day before mixing anything into it. PPM of my tap water is around 160 which I've read is fine. After the first week or so the bigger one's tips started to point up and brown at the tips starting with the oldest growth. After some research I found that it was more than likely a mag def so I flushed my CoCo with a half strength nute solution mixed with 5ml of Calmag. New growth on it seems to be a better shade of green with no fading inbetween near the veins. However now there seems to be an issue that could possibly be nute burn. Also, now around the end of the first week for the smallest one it's beginning to show the same signs. Can someone please give me some advice and point me in the right in the direction, I really need some help here and would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me save my babies from this stress.baby1.jpgbaby2.jpg

It looks like nuts burn. Might cut nutes to 1/4 and check the ppm and PH of your runoff next time you water. coco by its self can be very touche, at least it was for me. There are people on here that like it and could help dial it in better.
