Looks like you have had and still do have Cal/Mag issues.
I would increase the Cal/Mag.
You say clean water, do you mean RO water? What is the ppm of you water?
Are you watering too runoff, if so how much runoff?
You want at least 25 to 35 % runoff.
Can you post your fertilizer program?

I know lots of questions, not much in the way of help. Cal/Mag increase and achieving the % runoff should help but really need the other info to give you as sound of advice as we can.
Hi sir
if I use ro water 0.0 ec, fertilize with canna coco a + b fertilization program of the official website, put calmax (grotek) up to 0.4 of ec (of 0.0), 20 ~ 30 % runoff

If you water EC is 0.0 you need to start the process by getting you water to 120 ppm/0.24 EC by either adding tap water or what I do, since I use RO also, is use Calimagic and Epsom, something growing in coco is really needed. I actually adjust my RO to 180 +/- prior to adding the nutes.
It is at that point that the nutrients should be added, in order, Canna A first then B, and then you can begin adding the supplements, Cannazym, Rhizo, if your are using them. Let the solution sit for 12 to 24 hours to stabilize prior to pH'ing.
This is JMHO but it works for me. I did speak with Canna USA and they are the one's that recommend I add some tap to my RO to get it to 120 ppm. I have no idea what is in my tap, 800 ppm, so I decided to use the CaliMagic knowing coco's needs.

I would like to add, Less is More! in your nute program.

Been a minute since i last updated this thread with the coco girls

Here they are, yesterdays pics, DAY 2 of flower
New room all up and running.
Still waiting for new manifolds, still cant hook up auto watering until they show up.

All in all tho, loving this run, the coco has been fun, ive felt more in control of the plants for some odd reason.

For those who didn't bother reading the linked IC thread or gave up midway, biggest takeaway for me is, keep PH throughout between 6-6.3. And of course, feed multiple times, basically don't let it dry out.

I'm up to 4 times watering daily right now, will increase to 5 next week and then maybe go full DJM and try 6 feedings a day lol

I've read that thread a couple times. So much good info. I've been running my new room very similar. High temps, high rh and lots of feedings.

The plants seem to be enjoying it so far

Looks good TE, thanks bud

Must go water the girls, this hand watering 9 plants 4 times daily isnt real fun lol

i think @gr865 warned me about this back on page 1 lol

Still no manifolds, might have to try the little cheapos i have here soon.

Thanks Diggs. Ya man, you will luv the automated watering.
Automated watering, and drainage for both runoff and dehuey are the best things I have done for myself.

Your grow and space is looking Ab-Fab! :fire:

Ya TE, im excited , amazon says new manifolds have finally shipped(again?), expected delivery is july 25th lol fml...They been just sitting in no mans land the past 2 weeks apparently.

For now im just gonna setup my reservoir and use the pump attached to a hose, atleast make it easier to water and can mix a full 50g reservoir, rather than 2-4-6 gallons at a time.

Im about to build a aerocloner, gonna use a cooler and 2" neoprene collars. Got a 396 ghp pump and some pvc.

Ill be back with pics when its done.

Hey cob, looking really good!
No scrog net?
Yes, if you get your automated watering right it makes life alot easier! I have a timer that can run down to seconds ans a flowmeter on the inlet so I can see how much goes out at each watering. The collection point also allows me to measure run off.
Oversized manifold with all drippers equal length.....

Blumat superflex 8mm?

$110 cdn for 50'

That sound right? Seems expensive compared to all the others, but the stuff I originally bought was cheap and acts cheap, so I want good stuff
