Shit happens. I think every grower here has done the same, I know I have.

What are you feeding it, how much/ what strength, and how often?

Cheers for consolation.

Yea i got a mix of biobizz to support the growth - Activera, Fish mix, and this time i have added Algamic as per instructions on their guide.. I added lesser amount than recommended, 0,5ml each instead of 1ml...
But the spotting showed before i added the last nutrient...
I fed it every watering. So every 2 days.. I guess its still too much for it?

Are you measuring your feed solution in EC/ppm before feeding? Measuring pH?

Im measuring Ph but the tester i got is sh*t. Im sure its off. I need more expensive one but waiting for payday...
I use filtered water, website for it says it keeps ph in range of 6.3-7 and i know for coco it should be 5.5-6.2ish? . So i always add a drop of Ph down..
Not measuring EC, as coco was pretty neutral, it was washed premium... But i guess i should invest into that.

Coco is a hydro medium and should be 5.5-6.5 pH. I've always fed at 5.8 pH.

EC/ppm is a very important reading to measure before each feed also. Need to know how strong the nutrient solution is.

I picked up a cheap EC meter on Amazon for $15. Does the job. I use my expensive Bluelab Truncheon normally but the cheap meter works if needed for something quick. Just be careful those ones aren't water proof lol.

How do you measure water without it being waterproof? :lol:
I'll see what i can nab after payday. I realise it's crap just doing guesswork and these plants are super sensitive FML.

This still sounds like a science to me!!! I'll have to look up some video guides. It all looks awesome to me :weed:
