Hey people, I'm growing 3 ladies in coco choir, feeding the GH flora series plus calmag at regular strength, 24 hr light on, no bugs that I have noticed, temp between 70-74, ph steady between 5.5 and 6. It looks like a nitrogen deficiency but the bottom leaves don't fall off on their own, they are holding on tight. Then I thought a magnesium deficiency but I'm giving full strength calmag with the nutrients.. AND there is only 1 of 3 plants that is showing any signs of stress, all being fed the same.. any ideas?

Mm good point. I am letting them run off into the trays, then picking up the plant and dumping out the run off from the tray about 10 minutes after feeding. I'll figure out something better though

Need a good amount of runoff that cant get sucked back up,elevate them with a bigger tray under.
For a quick fix put them in a sink or bathtub ,mix up some food and give them a good flush, see if that helps.
Dont use straight water

I use to just feed for a few days with no runoff then every 3rd or 4th feed Id give them a good flush.

That's a great idea, I alway let my plants sit in a small amount of run off.

After a little research it sounds like if my nutrients are properly balanced I just don't really need to flush unless my runoff EC is super high. Good to know, thanks for the input everyone.

No way. What should I be flushing with?

Nothing. You don’t really flush coco. What can do is run a lower EC solution through to make sure you remove any build up. When you see the bottom leaves turning yellow your EC is too low.
