Help! Gold tinges on leaves

Hi all,

Newish grower here, this be 5-7 week old 'The Doctor', poor girl has had a rough trot, but her newest ailment seems to be these gold-ish tinges on her leaves. Was thinking maybe it was wind burn? But perhaps it's a nutrient deficiency. Growing in Organic Coco Coir, and have inoculated twice (once as early seedling, and then again last night as I transferred into this larger 28 liter pot) with Great White mycorrhizal, and mixed ~80grams of Biogrow fertiliser into the substrate upon transplanting. I water when the soil feels dry. Growing in a 1.2 x 1.2 (4ft for you yanks) tent, with a 315w CMH.

Any help would be appreish!

Thanks,

What's inoculated???

Are u watering with 1/4 strength nutes daily

Hard to tell with NOT natural light pics, but looks dry

Inoculating is when you add mycorrhizal fungi.

I'm definitely not watering with nutrients daily. Probably once a week or once a fortnight. Maybe something to do with Mg? Would you suggest a different nutrient regime?

And definitely not dry.

Any chance you can hazard a guess, even with this light? Gold/brown/rust - surely this is a common issue with growers who don't know what they're doing!

Coco needs a feeding daily

Daily

That's why u have the issues

Coco is not soil, and if u treat it like soil, you get what you have now


Inoculate is, by definition
The act or an instance of inoculating, especially the introduction of an antigenic substance or vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.


In soil mycos do stuffs, but in Coco it just washes Away

Research research research, just like your clone thread read read read

Ok thanks, I'll take that into consideration. Would love to hear other opinions too...

Well, consider this

No water in Coco means dead, sick plants

It's not my opinion, it's how you grow in Coco

Thats why i grow in soil its alot more forgiving than coco.. Coco is much better than soil in regards to drainage.. And therfore needs more frequent watering AND feeding

LSF - ;eaf spot fungus, I just made it up, but whatevers

Ok thanks - I’ll try giving a more regular nutrient feeding, however I’m conscious about making sure the roots don’t get too soggy... the substrate takes a few days to dry out in growing conditions of the tent.

Keep up your water schedule and keep chasing issues

It's Coco, treat it as such

Coco = you need to think flood and drain hydro

cocos needs extra CalMag, whats your feeding EC & pH?

He dosent seem to want to listen to how to grow in Coco

Treats it like soil, so really pH and nutes are irrelevant

Firstly, don't just assume that I'm a male. Furthermore, what about my posts suggest that I'm not going to follow the suggestions...? I was just wanting some other opinions considering your first post said that you didn't know what it was.

BioGrow is made for soil, which has buffering and slow-release features that coco does not have.
Your plant looks like a mix of lockout and Ca deficiency. I’ll wager the runoff TDS (total dissolved solids in ppm) is unhealthy high.

Imo you have two choices:
1) Transplant at once into soil. Choose a good premix and don’t chase perceived nute deficiencies or imbalances.

2) Transplant into fresh coco and use drain-to-waste hydroponic feeding with a good liquid nutrient (e. g. General Hydroponic 3-part plus a cal-mag.

You will have to learn to monitor and adjust ppm and pH. I recommend the Bluelab pen (plus calibration solutions 4.0 and 7.0; calibrate early and often as pH meters are a drifty lot).

I've read through the thread and I see the same issue that everyone else has been seeing.

You're using a hydro medium, mixed with soil amendments.

Cannabineer made the best suggestion that I see.

Option 1) Transplant at once into soil. Choose a good premix and don’t chase perceived nute deficiencies or imbalances.

Soil is forgiving and healing. You can fix some F'd up S with soil.

If you choose not to listen to anyone else, listen to Cannabineer.

I've listened and appreciated everyone's input! Thank you...!
