Growing seems so simple.

Well i grow inside. I make sure theres good air flow&i dont let runoff water sit and attract nats. I water when the soil is dry no more no less unless i am trying to flush the plant with water like i did recently to lower EC levels which were high one day. I usually check the runoff water ec levels just so i know theres not a lockout on the way. The humidity levels should be fine bc the lights are on&if i walk in the room its humid but not too* humid. I have never had a pest problem. I had a mold problem in the past but not a pest problem. The mold problem was bc lack of air circulation,early in my grow days.

Having an active IPM program in place is just as important as having your environment and feed dialed in. Outdoor and indoor can be vulnerable to pests and diseases. It’s better to treat what isn’t there than to treat what has exploded into a problem.

In your first post you state that you use maxibloom at a rate of 1/4 teaspoon in a half gallon. This is not sufficient strength to suppprt cannabis in flower. I use twice that strength and sometimes a little more. Your plants are yellowing because you are starving them

Yeah i get that , someone says that exact thing everytime its mentioned...my speculation was its outgrowing its roots and not actually deprived of nitrogen , a lagging indicator .
My theorising was for vegging plants mostly

Hey what do you mean outgrowing its roots. Like the growing medium is too small for the plant? Because it is in a smaller pot than I usually grow in. I figured because this plant is much much shorter than i usually grow because i ran out of fabric pots. Its like a 2 gallon pot. I grew it in a medium sized container and then transplanted it to the container it is now.I usually dont transplant but i did this time bc i knew the pot would be smaller than usually so i did it this way bc its how i was taught. Grow it til its encased in roots&then put it in the bigger pot.
Just in case i sprayed the plant with a fungus mildew non toxic spray thats 100 percent safe with natural ingredients

I have a chart that says to keep it at 650-700 EC for medium feed. I have 1/4 scooper&i give it a hefty scoop.

OP

Clearly your having difficulty knowing how much or little to feed this mixed medium of soil and coco. Fuck knows why people mix the two things in the first place.

Just cut out the guesswork and buy some coco coir, bagged and ready to go.
Feed it every watering about 2/3rds of suggested amount off whatever nutrient chart matches your nutrients.

PH it to 5.8 - 6.2.

Job done.

Your guessing as your going, either too much causing lock out in flower or too little which I'd guess is the case.

Hey, 5.8-6.2 sounds off from what i was always told.
I was told the PH always has to be in between 6.5-6.7 for all the nutrients to work properly. If the PH was 5.8 I was told id get a nutrient lockout.

I have a pair of Chocolopes that are taking 2.3EC every feed without blinking and might take more...3rd or 4th week of flower.

Well 5.8 - 6.2 is the proper ph range for feeding proper coco coir. Always has been.

Problem Is not knowing if what the manufacturer calls a coco soil mix is actually a mix of both soil and coco or just a wrongly worded product.
After looking at a few, it seems some manufacturers call there coco , coco soil, when coco is a soilless medium.

This is why I said just buy a product you know is 100% coco coir and feed every time , taking the guess work out of it.

Hey Everyone,just wanting to thank you all again. I believe i figured out the problem:Nutrient Deficiency of some sort. I believe I was not feeding the plants enough nutrients&the leaves that died were for that reason. Im not sure what exact nutrient deficiency causes white spots but from what I read&how the plant is doing now-i believe that was the problem.
