Yh taking a look I'm pretty sure it's calmag problem bud I maybe wrong but pretty sure by pailing of edges and brown spots hopefully someone can clarify

When looking at http://www.growweedeasy.com/marijuana-symptoms-pictures

It seems like a pretty clear cut case of calcium deficiency and maybe a tiny little bit nitrogen deficiency.. Since she's demanding more now she's flowering, that could cause the yellowing of lower leaves.. Even if only a tiny tiny tiny bit. So she's not THAT underfed.
 
Day 22 - Looking beautiful.

Could also be lack of light down there, the plant will naturally drop some leafs and relocate resources to the top if it needs to.

Yeah you're probably right, they're pretty much in the dark down there.
 
Day 29 - Just gave her nutes. She's dropping a leaf every other day. Just the very bottom ones, they all show signs of N deficiency or calcium deficiency. I'm still following the schedule for feeding. But I have started to round up the numbers a bit. for instance, if a feeding is 2.5 ml bloom, I'll give her 3 ml now. Same goes for cal mag and micro. I'm cutting out floragro really soon according to plan :>

Update day 33 of flower - A lot of the lower leaves are drooping, turning yellow'ish and falls off / are easy to pick. Not sure if this should concern me or not. I'm giving plenty of nutes and cal mag.

Shedding leaves is natural for some strains, usually its just relocating nutrients from one part (lower leafs) to another (the buds)

Should I up the nutes then? Or how do I know if I'm doing it right? Like, they could be starving for all I know right now..

What's the PPms you feeding at ?

Have you measured run off ? PPM and PH?

Girl looks rough but she can still pull through

I don't measure ppm. :/ And I haven't measured run off, I just ph my water, that's it. Every other watering is a plain watering, without nutes, just to avoid salt buildup

And I'm confident she will, gave her a really good watering today, I'm sure she'll look a lot better tomorrow. :D
 
Looking good overall buddy. You may want to try plane water every third or fourth watering, or maybe do plane water once a week. Someone with more chem fertz experience please chime in, but the BD looks a little under fed to me. Looks like she's gonna yield out real well if you can keep her healthy. Good luck HandyGringo!

Gotta get that PPM meter bud, she looks hungry, and due to over water she's locked out.. it's all my opinion.

Hard to tell if we don't know what exactly your pouring in. Especially with coco
 
Watch overwatering. Also you said you ph the water... Does that mean just the water or the water after you added nutes? Have to ph after you add nutrients because it'll change it. I'll bet my right nut its one of the two.

Edit: I know nothing about coco but this applies to pretty much anything in a container. Also I've never used a PPM meter although I'm in hempy usually.

There is your problem buddy. Never flush coco with plain water. You have thrown your coco's ph and nute level out of whack. Flush plant with 2x the amount of fertilized water to amount of coco used. So 3 gallon of coco then 6 gallons of 1/2 strength fertilizer. Do this again at next feeding. Then just follow GH three recipe on the back but just half of what they call for. Every time you water with coco just water till you get 5-10% runoff and add cal/mag because coco leeches calcium out of substrate. And never use plain water! Hopefully this helps remedy you issues.

How did everyone determine that overwatering is the issue as well? I don't think I've overwatered. I usually only water when the coco is dry for the first inch or so.. Just curious! But yeah, getting a ppm meter next.. That's my next investment :D

I hear so many conflicting things on the plain waterings, it's hard to figure out.. :/ But thanks man, I hope she recovers.

But, why is there so many conflicting reports on the plain waterings? I got it from growweedeasy, and they're usually pretty factual. And why half dosages for nutes? Thanks for the help!

I PH the water after adding nutes ^^ But yeah I guess overwatering is an issue since everyone brings it up.. Is it because it looks droopy? :D
 
Day 35, I watered her yesterday, after realizing how terrible she looked.. With the manufacturers dosages (From the back of the different nutes) instead of the guide I've been following all along, and it looks like it helped..

Thanks to everyone who chimed in! :) Much appreciated!
