ok so 387 is your base, now add feed and subtract the base from.the new number. this gives ppm of your feed in.

Got it thanks for the lesson, unfortunately I’m have to go into work so I’ll measure when I get back

Hey bud you don't look like you're in too rough shape
Surprised myself when I got a few burnt tips myself. Doing water only now for a bit and the issue hasn't gotten worse and buds are developing nicely. Good luck buddy!

btw we use exactly the same nutes i use mega crop and flower fuel but none of the other stuff cause I run perlite not coco, but I've been feeding 700ppm MC and 500Ppm flower fuel this is my result in week 4 flower now

Those look awesome maybe I’ll follow your schedule. I do use a lot of stuff which is probably overkill. I’ll try out this recent solution which is 2g MC/2gSweet candy/5ml sweet raw/2.5calmag/2.5hydroplex

Thanks brother! She Looks fantastic. I have a lot of build up on my cloth pots that might be adding to my issue. She needs a good flush at this point, I try to do a week of water every 3 weeks.

I cant tell you anything about other additives as it would drive me crazy figuring out the source, I suppose its easier to run many different sources with low ppm but you better track them incase something happens.

When you say source you mean the source of the additives themselves? I have some notes in my grow journal that I did. I calculated how many grams are in each serving per 5g of MegaCrop. I’ll have to redo them and follow what you have taught me.

I think I’ll cut out the botanicare products besides the cal mag and stick with the MegaCrop and flower fuel stuff. See how it goes for the next week first. Where can I follow your grow journal?

no the source ppm to your feed solution its like simple algebra a+b+c+d+e= F, I only have A and B in the equation so its easier to diagnose the problem and find the source

always keep calmag in coco its not for your plant but to keep the coco happy it will try to steal the nutrients so I switched to perlite for this alone

Ahh I got it Good thing I like math!

if your good at math it helps tremendously, you can tailor your feeding to your plant instead of an all purpose schedule .the nute company gives you a basic out line for X, but some plants require more or less

Good to know. Is that why there’s so much salt build up on my cloth pots or is that just from the nutrients being salt based?

its always a good idea to flush but to do it without knowing where your at may cause a tail spin. if your confident you know the feed ppm and your plant is fine id flush the salts with a low ppm to almost no ppm water let it drain above the run off to avoid soaking it all back in then feed at your full strength , you can't really over water coco. cocoforcannabis.com has an amazing fertigation chart. actually feeding lower ppm more frequently is the way to unlock coco potential .

Okay cool so rather than feeding every other day feed everyday but at a lower ppm

yes there will be a balance between damp and soaked, when coco is wet it actually holds more oxygen . its very different then soil

also can you get a local water supply test to find out what's in your tap? you may not need calmag if its in your tap already

I have no experience with hard water id rather buy it if it was 300+ but you may have no choice
