Yea you can use peat in that thing, I used a bale of promix in it, it's dope as fuck you top dress with organic nutrients and lime, 100% organic ingredients.
Going from HPS to LED. Worth it?

This plant got water/nutes everyday , yielded a lot , 50/50 coco/perlite.

looks sweet, but coco/perlite isn't the same as roots organic. so i can see how the disagreement began, but the plant in question does seem to be overwatered, and from what ive seen in these last few pages, the medium is not coco and pearlite, but roots organic, which containes sphagnum (which fucks up ph and holds a shit ton of water).
maybe you guys should just agree to disagree, since you are both basically agreeing anyway...

i still think odg has something with the watering, but humidity needs to be fixed too. like, soon, before powdery mildew sets in.

What's the PPFD in those bad boys? Comparable to a 600 HPS at 3"sq I bet, should be good with one

Why would you want more? They just block the light to the sun leaves anyways.

I've got the same thing happening on my plants that are "on hold" until I get tent space. They barely get enough light to stay healthy because I don't want them to grow until I can repot & get em in the tent. All they get is water because they are in FFOF, straight from the bag.

Apparently gravity goes sidewards around those leaf tips. That aside, CC says pH issues, and that concurs with nitrogen toxicity. Too much nitrogen causes the medium to become more acidic.
I did say it wasn't that bad, though. I didn't see any other clawing that was quite that bad. Just the extreme darkness of the leaves.

I thought it looked more like N lockout from too much P.

Too dark. Maybe the top shows it, meaning the N tox was old. But any lockout is probably being caused by the pH, which just further supports my theory. Old N tox resolved, pH gets fucked up even after it resolves, leads to the lockout you are seeing.

You don't need expensive bagged coco. All they have done is rinsed the shit out of it, added perlite, and put it in a bag -- for at least 3X the price of compressed blocks.
I buy blocks of coco for $8, rinse it myself, and use it straight. I hand water and don't like to do it frequently. This spring I did an experiment with coco mixed with calcined clay. The plant did fine, but no better than other plants in 100% coir.

unlikely for P to cause lockout in coco, as P actualy regenerates the coco's ionic charge. P is actually good for flushing coco.
The PH is in a reservoir set at 6, never had a problem with pH and if I did have a pH issue, all plants will be affected the same.
