Coco holds water forever, you have to let it dry out for days until those leaves just start to point down/droop at the stem a bit more or less.

What are you using for Cal-mag? Bio-Tone and dry ferts are slow release, and are probably not going to be available in any significant qty's to your autos throughout its lifespan. I'd recommend a soil like "Just Right Xtra" (coco based organic mix with ferts and micros) if you want to go that route, with the Gen Org's nutes (mix well together). Or picking-up some GH CaliMagic (more or less half organic, concentrated CalMg) for a quick infusion. I just use a Ocean Forest/Happy Frog/Ancient Forest mix, and don't need to feed for the first 3 weeks (Rare Earth and Sunleaves Soil Sweetener don't hurt either in that)....and only put 2 23W-26W blue CFL's close to the plant during veg, before going with the full light spectrum.

Using General Organics CaMg+ and some Epsom Salt. I just did an Epsom foliar feed. I think I will just continue foliar and let things cook for a bit and dry out as you suggest.:Cool:

After you're done with this grow, dump that soil mix in a large bin and let it cook for 60 days before you use it again. By that point, it should be darned close to a water-only mix!

Update time. I've just been light foliar feeding with Epsom Salt/water solution a few times a day for the past couple. Looks like it's helping, but still seeing some taco shelling of the leaves imo. Am I wrong on that? Color looks better, and it's growing like crazy so I'm thinking just keep up foliar feeds until next regular feed tonight or tomorrow.

Update and Pics

Been nice and quiet around here, with my baby recovering nicely from whatever that was. Been really bushing with new growth all over. Stem is like a pencil stuck in the ground. I just gave nutes again, haven't since 7 days ago. I had let the medium dry out until the pot lightened considerably and the plant responded well.

Today: 1/2 liter of water, 0.5mL of everything in the GO box except Bloom and Bud.:check:

Day 26 from seed, Update and Pics.
Fed .5L water with .5mL of each GO box nute except Bloom and Bud, same as previous feed. Starting to see signs of vertical growth spurt coming (hopefully).
Looks like early issues may have stunted it a tiny bit but all the more recent growth looks good and it appears to be coming back strong. :dance:

Definitely ended up with a bit of a Gangsta' Lean, maybe I'll take advantage of that for some LST lol.

Update and Pics Day 26 (31 from seed)

Fed on 10/4 with 600mL of the same nutes upped to a 1.5mL per liter ratio. Looks like she likes it. Giving her ~200mL of additional water on days between feeds, probably need to up my feed amt so that's not necessary. Started some LST on the main trunk, not sure how much she'll like that or how long I'll be able to play with it. Time will tell eh?

Update and Pics Day 30 (35 from seed)

So far so good. I want to say she's a little stunted but not horribly. Still going to be a record yield for me (first always is lol). I'm still feeding the same nutes but I've upped the Grow to 4mL per liter and 2mL on the rest. Planning to stay the course until I see growth slow down, then stop LST and switch to bloom nutes.
