Still fighting Yellow w/brown spots

[tip302327]

I am hoping someone can help me before this poor plant dies.
The stats:

Plant was fine prior to transplant.

4 week veg (mother) 400 W halide 20" away Day 74 night 66F

Coco / 20% perlite in 7 Gallon grow bag.

Well water P.H. 5.6 and cond @ 23 ppm

Flush water P.H. 5.9 and cond @ 128 ppm

Upon signs of problems I flushed w/approx 25 gallons tap water
and 1/4 strength Dutch Masters Gold "grow" with 1/2 Tsp pr/gal
CalMag. It has been almost a week and the plant does not seem
to be recovering. All new growth has stopped. I am not sure which
direction to go and don't want to make matters worse. Is the plant starving with such low PPM? Can anyone make a recommendation. Thanks

personally, I don't feed for a week prior, or a week after, transplanting ... promotes the roots to search for nutrients ... :smokin:

Isnt important to water the plants 3 days in a row after transplanting? With any other plant in the world it is...
so?

Curious if over watering could cause part of these problems. I have found
with grow bags and coco it seems if I dont set the bags on a grate of some
sort that the bottom 2 or 3 inches seem wet for coco???

Sounds like your envirionment is good but after she gets jacked up it can take 2wks or more to come around providing the cause has been attended to. As far as that goes, without complete details about your entire process to now, just too hard to tell. Are those the tds values after nutes are added? On your post info, does cond. mean conditioned water? If so, it may have sodium in it if resin in conditioner is old. Salt= girls. Ever checked the run-off water ph. If the soil has an off ph it can reduce or stop intake on some nutes. Looks like the signs to me. post up as detailed info as you can and a dirt wizard will guide you through it as I am far from it with the terra. Also is she in a 8-10 gallon bag? Usually a good flush takes about 3x pot/bag volume. should feel pretty light before watering again. If soggy and not just damp then I'm with TIP, your prob over-watering

quarter strength gold sounds too weak. flushing makes that worse. if you see alot of yellow, they could probably use some food.

For growing in soil your ph is low.....it shoud go in and come out between 6.2-6.8 for soil. Edit: I see you are in coco so forget that last remark.

I also remember Stinky talking about those grow bags and saying they are not meant to be be moved around......it breaks the grip between the soil and the root because the bag itself is flimsy and not solid. You are supposed to set them somewhere and not move them around. That may be part of your problem as well.

i've never done this......or even heard of it for ANY plant so is that a coco rule or something?

If you want yellow leaves with brown spots, then yes, this is a good way to get there. Always allow soil to dry a bit between waterings. (early clones and seedlings being the exception) Never keep soil saturated.

First off, let the soil dry between waterings. Looks to me like root stress. Could be the onslaught of root rot, or you could be damaging (breaking, crushing) the roots by moving the bag around. (or both)

I grow in soil, but isn't that a bit low for ph levels?

Did you mix 25 gallons of 1/4 strength nute solution for flushing, or did you add the solution after flushing?

I thought low ph as well RT....but hesitated to say something because I wasn't sure enough about coco to say. I would keep my coco stuff at something closer to 6.2 but I'm really just guessing there.
