Hey guy’s need abit of help if anyone can lend a hand
begginer here, plants are a 4or5 weeks old and have just started showing signs of nutrient lockout + Calmag deficiency and/or droopyness.
I have been using rain water, to which I understand having to add calmag to the solution.
My question is, Do I flush with just ph’d rain water?, or do I flush with Ph’d rain water + Calmag?
extra info: Im using coco+ Perlite,
and one plant I flushed already with just ph water (then with regular nute dose) is now showing calmag deficiency + Over watering droopyness for 3 days now… How do i flush without over watering?

What ppm is your rain water? Mine is always about 20-30 and when I flush I just ph the water. And it’s almost impossible to over water in coco especially if in fabric pots

Just a tip for coco growing. In soil I know people like to let it dry back a bit before watering but you can’t do that with coco. Coco always has to stay moist. And since you added perlite its definitely impossible to overwater. They need to get water daily to be completely honest

Ok so I flush with just ph-ed water until my run off is at an acceptable level and then I water with cal mag added, your in coco, so you will notice some drooping but it’s really hard to actually over water in coco. What kind of pots are you in?
Oh and
Thank you very much I thought you were in soil.

My husband did 1st outside grow last summer and only had problems with caterpillars. I think it was greenjewels that told me about some stuff to put in dirt for them. I’m going to grow inside and out.
