@$bkbbudz$ I added tiger bloom at 2-8-4 and saw little to no effect before the flush, you suggest I add more and see what happens? Im used to growing in soil with a small amount of perlite for soil aeration. This go-round I ended up using 50/50 soil/coco pete, so technically I have half as much soil (nutrients available to plant other than physical concentrate feedings) than I'm used to. So lack of P is very possible. Just have never experienced in the past.

Please understand that I strive very diligently to never truly give advice or suggest anything to anyone about their grow. I cannot see what is going on first hand and I don't want anyone claiming it was what I said that killed their plants...or that my advice was their saving grace either. I try to give my best opinion and point the grower in the right direction. From there it is up to the grower to read and research to check the opinion against the facts and, make their own informed decision.....did you read the info on the link I embedded in my last post?

P def, due to absence or lockout?

OP said he flushed with ph balanced water that would not cause lock out. However the flush may have caused the medium to be deprived of P.

IF this were my grow...I would probably try the FF Tiger Bloom and if no improvement is seen some bone meal tea or bat shit tea. That again is IF it were my grow.

Coco needs a lower pH, though. But, yeah, if no appreciable difference manifests, it's lockout.

There again is the reason I try to shy away from giving advice....each grow and grower are different. And personally I have never grown in anything but soil.

No, you had good advice, I just learned recently myself that coco is DTW hydro, and unless you grow organic, the pH is on the hydro scale.

@$bkbbudz$ Thanks guys for all the good info. And I know there are some people on here that are newer to growing like myself,as well as master growers that have been at it for a while. So yes, I do put everyone's perspective into account and do as much research on my own before treating the plants in anyway. So thanks for warning me beforehand on taking any one persons word. I agree.

That being said, I'm used to have much more nutrients in my starting compost like im mentioned so I do believe its deprived of something, along with the article I'm leaning towards the P def still. (I treated before the flush but very lightly).

I will be adding both Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom @ 3tsp/gal @ a pH of 6.3 and letting recover for a day or so.
