2x 600 hps
Coco
4.5 weeks of flowering
Feeding daily 1300ppm +-100ppm (1800microsimens) PH 5.8
Foliar spray daily Growth exel PH 5.5 300ppm (500-700 microsimens) (Last week added magnesium sulphate to the foliar spray PH was around 6.5 and 700-800ppm sparayed for couple of times then discarded)
What are the possible causes of my troubles could be.
Spots on the leaf and reddish stem

pests? Abnormal ph? k def? Or maybe just too much "stuff" sprayed over the leaves too often? And in coco known for its own problems.

I'd certainly stop foliar spraying your crunching leaves and adding to the problem. Then I'd start looking around for someone who works in coco because that looks like a ph/def issue (unless it's pests just attacking one part of the plant which would be even more odd) and figure out exactly what your ph should be and what it is.

Sorry I'm not of more help but I don't work with coco and don't want to give you the wrong info....but someone who works in it will know hopefully.

Big plants, small pots, and running a coco grow with a non-coco nutrient. Are you supplementing with any calcium source? If not, start now.
I've got no experience with that foliar product you are using. The upper parts of your plants look really good but my instinct says that won't last. You can't really rely on foliar feeding, and trying to do it right thoruhg flower is asking for mold problems.
Please fill out the troubleshooting form completely.

Yeah, you are running rather warm, but I'd switch to a coco specific nute or start running calmag in your nutes right away no matter what. Also, the correct pH to run coco at is lower than soil, so you should mix up your nutes and then check and adjust them down to 6.4-6.6 or so.

Should I stick with 5.8 ph Rise or lower it?

There is no calmag around but there is a calcium nitrate :) What can you say about red leaf stems . Thank you

Run off showed PH 5.0-5.3 ppm 1500-over 2000
Had a tideous flushing of 30 plants
And definately PH over 6 is appearing to be benefitial
Thank you Stinky Attik!:)

a ph issue. Thought so.
