Hello I just restarted my grow opp. I’m using general hydroponic Lucas formula at 1ml ea. at 6.0-6.3 ph with royal hydro 80/20 coco. I add about 2 to 3 ml of cal mag to start. Humidity is always above 55 and temp never below 65. Can I get some good advise?

More pics would be good.....the whole plant.
What is your feeding schedule?
Do you feed to run off?
How old is the plant?
What size containers?
Which Lucas Formula are you using......the original or the one for coco?

What MickFoster said, but just from that one leaf it looks super deficient of nutrients. I see nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorous deficiency for sure at the least.

Feed schedule just depends on how fast they are taking up the water. I’m not familiar with feed run off...they are about 2 months but went through hell first so they at definitely stunted. I just put them in a decent atmosphere about 3 1/2 weeks ago. Sizes are1 Gallon I believe. And somethings that’s been confusing me is this type of medium. The first picture is the the plant of my original post. I’ll take all the input on the rest also thanks guys. This is also the medium which is 80/20 and I’m thinking that’s why I couldn’t get a good balance for thingsz

Run off is the excess nutes that come out the bottom drain holes when feeding.
You should always feed to substantial run off.

IMO, the 4th pic looks like nitrogen burn to me, the rest of them the new growth either looks fine or deficient. You're adjusting the PH of the water right?

That's not the Lucas Formula.....not even close.
Your plants look like they're starving.
Original Lucas Formula - 8ml Micro, 16ml Bloom. It doesn't have to be that strong but it should be the 1:2 ratio.
Revised Lucas Formula for coco (aka H3ads Formula) - 6ml Micro, 9ml Bloom.

Yeah I never go above 6.2. I thought using this medium would I still follow coco or reg soil process

Coco process, never above 6.2 is fine. 5.8 I think is ideal but I've never done Coco, only dwc and ebb&flow. I'd follow what mickfoster is saying for nutes.

Royal Gold Tupur is probably one of the best brands of coco you can buy.

You need to start feeding those plants daily......never plain water.
Coco is a soilless inert medium containing no nutrients at all......you have to supply the food. Ideally low strength nutes fed at least daily produces the best results. Coco is drain to waste hydroponics.

May I suggest learning how to grow in coco by going here......www.cocoforcannabis.com.

Good luck.

Yeah I always had nutes with water. I’m going to try lowering the ph. And to water everyday I think would over water. It’s takes about 5 days for the medium to dry up ‍♂
