My first time trying to post failed so i said fuck it and it got worse so ill make it quick.

I have 5 autos in coco the first 3 i started around 4 weeks ago the last 2 was about a week after. The first couple weeks i had no epsom salts but it has been about a week and a half since i have been feeding plus epsom salts and now my plants look like this

I use flora nova grow and epsom salts ph was around 5.8 before i start using epsom salt but since i found out i needed over 6 to accept mag since then its been between 6-6.5

Looks like they need a lil nitrogen I'm not familiar with any chem nute but in my world of organics it wo7ld be a nice worm casting tea or a lil fish emulsions with a lil kelp.
 
If I remember correctly, in hydro your pH should be down at 5.6-7

I tried to download a chart but if you Google it it shows it down. Personally I've done best at 6.5 to 6.7 max
 
My meager first impression is waterlogged, (but that's suppose to be hard to do in coco), or ph flux. @Waira or @namvet25 would be the one's more in the know than me, but better pics and more details may be needed!:peace:
 
5.8 ph in coco mate. Thats the sweet spot. Epsome salt needs to be used very lightly and not very often. It will cause lock out if you have too much. Are you watering every day? Coco needs cal/mag too, so use unsulphered molasses at 1 tbl spoon of it per gallon once a week, 1/3 epsome a week. tell me a bit more about your watering and set up. 6-6.5 is too high of PH and it will lock ya out quick. :thumbsup:
 
Woaaaaaahh guys sorry ! i thought i would get emailed or something but i started the seeds in rapid rooters transplanted into 5 gallon buckets right away from week one i watered everyday but i read that bigger pots and seedlings equal over watering so i slowed down on watering to 1 time every 2 days to try and dry the pot a little for about 1 week then i started feeding to about 500 ppm on week 3 i raised the ph because i read that mag isnt soaked up in lower ph water so i raised it a bit but i have also added epsom salts to every 1 gallon feeding that may be the problem but i will be sure to upload more pictures !!!

@Need4Weed might need some help here on coco.

5.6 to 5.7 is acceptable, on the low side for hydro. Ideal is 5.8, however calcium is more available at 6.0 - 6.2.

I typically keep it at 5.9 if I can. If you go over 6.5 you burn, under 5.5, you burn.

I am not sure on coco, but 6 to 6.5 sounds right to me.

the charts for soil are higher pH


What I see there looks identical to high pH in hydro. Which indicates N def. through nutrient lockout. We will have to wait for Waira or Namvet to give a definitive answer.
