Thank you so much streetlegal for this thread, and that chart - I've been reading here for a couple months now (after I started my first grow) and haven't seen a chart like that yet, and have never felt a need to post until now...and I'm glad it's a post that's not asking for advice, but rather thanking someone for advice already provided. Cheers!

This forum has been a great resource for me, even if it involves sifting through a lot of chaff to get to the wheat (the search function apparently blows). So once again, thanks to you and the other knowledgeable growers who have provided me with so much useful information. Please try to ignore the prolific ones who ask too many redundant questions, because you're a huuuuge help for the silent types like me.

I've been using FermentedSock for a couple other things because of how gross it sounds lol.

But yeah thanks to people like you and UncleBen and fdd (of course), I've been able to do something as simple as sit in front of my computer for a lot of hours reading all sorts of interesting knowledge on how to have a better grow. Without the experts putting up with all the lazy people...my 1st grow from a single lucky bagseed wouldn't be going nearly so well. So once again, props to guys like you!

i read soo many problems that all relate to the same thing!!

Which is nute lockout/deficiencies. Now any plant food worth its space on a hydro shelf will have everything your plant needs. So when u have these 'deficiencies' showing up, its rare that the plant is deficient of the nutrient, its that its not able to take it up properly..

Which is caused by: Over-feeding, thus causing lock-outs and Incorrect pH thus causing lock-outs and deficiencies

STOP overfeeding ur plants and trying to push them soo hard!

STOP lowering ur lights, i dont care if ur hand isnt burning under the light, be kind and just back it off

STOP adding adding adding when u have a problem, back off..and work backwards (see below)

So to conclude, if u got a problem, and ur too inexperienced to know wot it is:
*Flush
*Re-nute @ lower ppm with pH'd water
*back the lights off

Then when ur dialled in and ur plants are flying u can start to push them along ie; begin to lower the lights, begin upping nutes, squeeze ur nipples etc etc etc...

and PLEASE the time to read and understand the pH table, its quiet simple,.. it shows how ur pH must be right in order for the plant to take up the nute

Would the table for hydro be the same for coco? not sure which one to use.
