Whats the PH of the water going IN? Coming OUT? Have you taken any PPM readings of runoff?

Calling in the experts to take a look for you.

Did someone here tell you that you should use 3 different soil mediums? Coco, soil and ??
I’m interested to learn where that mix came from! Maybe you know something I don’t.

You don’t check your water ph?

Since he just joined 6 days ago, and this is his first post, and that plant is way over 6 days old, I doubt that anyone HERE has told him anything yet. That’s why he is here!

I use oxygenated water …check pH be for every watering and adjust as needed…try for 6.5 ph

Right but how do you stumble into combining (and purchasing mind you ) 3 different mediums to grow in? Someone told him something.

@newandconfused
You need to check your runoff PH and PPM. But I’m not sure where it should be with the combination of soils you are using.

@Rugar89 since you called for my input lol
I’m going with nute burn with the info provided
And looking at the picture which would be better if you got some closer pictures of the damaged leaves
What is your feeding schedule and ppm bro @newandconfused
@Fever I’m with you on wondering why he did mix the the mediums but what’s done is done and let’s see if we can get him straight

Ditto the nute burn.

@newandconfused
Can you take pics zoomed out at your set up and zoomed in at the three major levels ( top, middle, and bottoms leaves) along with the support ticket info. It looks like nut burn but also light burn, like it’s not getting good air circulation.

or D: All of the above and maybe more! lol
