PHATESH: You're right, it's supposed to be 5.8-6.2. Some of the leaf tips now are taking on all new little twisty curly shapes LOL.
However I've done some MORE research and figured out what my problem is. That is that I'm an idiot. I did so much research on this, but was researching the wrong thing.
I was ASSUMING coco was treated as a soil grow, so I was following guidlines for soil...not coco. Coco, come to find out, is a considered more of a hydro grow and needs to be kept moist. I've been watering once a week, when the medium gets almost dry. Not good for coco. So much of what I was doing wasn't good for coco.
The entire problem is that watering once a week, every other time being a balanced nute formula. Well during that week the nutes dry, solidify, turn to salt, etc. When I water the following week, I only water enough so water just starts to drip. Not really "flushing" the hardened week old nutes out.
Current readings: Input: PH(no nutes) 5.8. PPM 600
Output: PH 5.6. PPM 1200-1400 depending on the plant
I'm no scientist, but I see a problem here.
With the water I had prepared I was able to flush to get them down to a PPM of 900 across the board. I will continue to do massive flushes over the next couple of days to get the PPM down to a reasonable level, once I research more and find out what that is. But from what I've gleaned, I think it's around 300-500?
So sorry for waisting anyone's time, and thank you Phatesh for trying to help me out. That's what I love about this forum, someone doesn't do enough research and STILL gets a helping hand.
Peace
