@Waira know it’s been a minute but. I got a soil tester not the greatest but it will have to do for now. After Christmas I’ll get the good one. But I tested the soil and it’s from 7.0-7.3 mainly 7.0. My feed was low reading a 5. So I got that up in the 6.0 range. I think it’s a def because of the new cobs and running them 24hrs. My other girls started getting it as well. Not as bad and it seems to have gotten better since the ph’ing of nutes. I also started spraying with overgrow.Mizzo'-- this is why you need an Accurate 8 soil pH probe! Don't guess or assume anything about in-pot pH, which can change quickly from OK to TARFU,...then come the symptoms, and with no pH reading, the next step is a total gamble...For deficiencies, it's either a simple lack-of, pH lockout, or toxicity issue... in the latter two, adding more nutes will make things go from TARFU to FUBAR!
... so you see why odds are against you on this dice roll,...
Firstly, thesoils are usually dogshit anymore, I think we've talked about that,.. HF is generally better than OF for being badly off pH in the bag,.. it's fixable, with some lime added beforehand and a little time to start working,... I know limited choices have you stuck,... Also, coco is not a soil, it behaves very differently,... it a component often, true, but at a lower ratio than you have,... with extra coco come the demands for elevated Ca, and to a lesser extent Mg, because of coco's odd CEC properties,... it also have no buffering lime in it, lessening the mediums capacity to regulate pH,...
Remo is not self adjusting, so if you don't adjust your feeds, there's another dice roll in the equation-.. feeds are acidic, and added to acidic soil =
That said, I'm hearing from multiple growers/testers now that they had some troubles with Remo during bloom; veg' went fine, but in bloom the flowering performance was less than stellar,... likely a PK content issue.... where were those leaves taken from? a whole plant pic is needed,... more than one thing going defc. here IMO.... They look P defc. (larger necrotic patches), yellowing could be Ca, P and Mg linked; fine spots are Ca defc.,... funky color and texture/appearance are co-symptoms.... Now to deal with it, that's the problem,.. we don't know if this is pH related or simple lack-of,... only thing you can do is the dubious run-off testing; we have an improved method and calculation here in the Infirmary sticky section (highlighted area), but it's a PITA,... straight run-off is an even poorer measure of in-pot pH, but it can give a crude idea if it's badly off in there,.. r-o that's in the 5's pH is for sure showing overly acidic soil... P defc. can happen in low pH soils, Ca and Mg start to get iffy too,... So do what you can to get a pH reading... is your meter calibrated and in good shape? [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] equipment f-u here I see, is lousy care for meters! No proper storage solution, no calibration (7.0 and 4.0 both for best results),.. that bulb electrode is made of very trick glass, layered,.. easy to damage and ruin,... once we have some idea about the pH, we'll know if there's a need to try and correct in-pot pH first before you feed more,...
. I backed off the nutes then slowly started upping them but not by much. Now that I’m ph’ing the feeds again I’m gonna bring them back up and see if that was it. If the soil ph is good at 7?? Which I think is good.

Archie mate, what tribe is that again? 
Mizzo, is it a skinny-ass type probe? If so, that reading is too dubious,... and counterintuitive to what we've seen... I say that in part because none of the symptoms look like the expected nute element defc.'s that come with pH that high,.. Fe, Zn, Mn, are pretty quick to lock out under that pH and since they are immobile within the plant, they will show first and worst at the tops,.. micronutes are one of those things that needs to be around, albeit in low levels, constantly! ..... How do they look now mate? new pics if you would please,... Good on the pH adjustment, in fact go to 6.5 as it'll drift down likely, not up,... OG is good too! How are they reacting to it? Have symptoms halted? For your blend of soil/coco, pH is best around 6.4 or a bit lower,...
The sour hound got worse but that was before I started ph’ing feed. She’s fat dense covered in trichs and stinks. The other girls seem ok. They’re moving along getting hairy and frosty fast. I’m gonna try to a shmooze the ol lady and maybe I’ll be able To get the A8 a little sooner.
First one is the sour hound then bluetoof Chem bubbly is the one with light colored leaves always been that way and all the way to the right double grape
They seem to like the OG. The babies do too.
Very nice looking grow Mizzo! Man, especially that BlueToof, Lol you put her on a D-BOL cycle? it'll make er grow hair! Lol

What are your lights off temps Mizz iv seen cold lockout like yours before mate
@mr blueskyights have been on 24 hrs. Temps stay around mid 70’s. May have to add some more autocobs to the room.

Ok mate when did you first start noticing the deficiency is it late veg or early flower
Thanks @stedimed ive got some issues going on but they keep moving forward. Bluetoof progresses rapidly once the stretch stops. Violently producing trichs her pistils change quickly she matured pretty quick. She’s not much more then a few days maybe a week older than the chem bubbly and DG. If u put your nose up to her she smells just like her sister st this point fruity garlicky cheese. And did I mention the trichs lol. Can’t wait to try more of these illuminautos. She should blow her sisters 22 grams away. Got a creme bubbly in a cup waiting for transplant but not sure what to put them in. May just have to bite the bullet and use what I got for now and hope I can pull them through. When I have the funds I think I’m gonna get some roots organic and go super soil route with some supplemental for flowering towards the end. All this shit annoys me. Somehow I still get good bud at the end but would like to maximize yield.
