First off American weed is the best on Earth (been to Jamaica 13 times and Europe twice), so just remember that.

Now, question: is this affecting the new growth or the old growth? Here is why: when there is a problem it will effect the foliage that is new at the time of the problem. Therefore, as the plant grows you may start to see damage done day or weeks ago that was just not visible to you yet. Consider that.
The problem looks like multiple deficiencies, caused, as you know, by pH imbalance. I'm not too familiar with coco but in other types of hydroponics we want our pH after adding nutes to be around 5.5, it may not seem like a big diference but we're talking about something measured in decimals. a few decimal points can make a huge diference. I am not familiar with your "hesi" nutes is it a true hydroponic fertilizer? even more is it made for coco? If its not formulated for coco that could be your problem.

no one mentioned american weed ?! Jamaica isnt america ? i said its not just americans that answer questions....

my Hesi nutes are the specific coco ones and are some of the best you can get http://www.hesi.nl/english/index.htm

maybe i need to drop the PH a few more degrees then , its deffo affecting new growth , mostly fan leaves and leaves around the bud sites

nice second post .. shame i was pointless and a waste of time ... if the ph is wrong then flushing with the incorrect ph will just cause more problems ... thanks for the reply though

Capitalize America, Americans and America! And no Jamaica is Not part of America. Its in The British West Indies(note British is capitalized out of respect). Assuming your British I would think you'd have known that.

Now a pic of your whole plant would be better than individual leaves. Like I said it could be old damage.

What EC are you feeding at, what hesi product are you using? does the ph drift much?
Click to expand...
Not sure of EC values ... ive been using the whole hesi coco range and following there coco feeding chart , currently just over 4 weeks into flower ...

are your plants flowering?it looks like P or k def caused by ph being slightly to high.keep your ph between 5-5-5-8 and use a good fertilizer with a high p n k ratio.but sorting out the ph first is of up most importance.

Is this all your feeding? If so I see a lot of things missing, your ph is too low. How about a photo of the whole plant

ive never used hesi coco,but i use hesi for soil.you should never follow their feeding scheldule exactly.you shouldnt give full dose,and you shouldnt feed every time you water.you should flush the coco with water ph'd to no higher than 5.8.check the run off,to see if its coming out too high or low.once youve got the ph stabilized,then feed with half dose coco flowering and half dose coco pk 13/14.maybe a few drops of super vit too.

I'm hydro, my desired ph is 6.0. I am unfamiliar with coco, but by no means is it a hydroponic method therefore my guess, not fact, would be the ph needs to be more like 6.5. I don't think any method of growing benefits from ph being lower than 5.8 at any given time. My 2cents
I think your plant is starved, and ph is out of balance.

Coco is actually classed as a hydroponic method ... its kind of classed like hempy buckets , nute free medium ... sort of in between soil and hydro .. all the reading i have done about coco tells you to treat the water and feeds as hydro :)
