Plants are 18 days above ground. The first two weeks was in Coco Loco Solo cups, which is coco with numerous amendments. During the Solo cup days they were watered every 3-4 days with RO and Cal-Mag.
At day 15 they were transplanted (Coco Loco intact) into a coco / perlite mix in 5 gallon buckets. Since transfer they’ve been getting daily RO with Jack’s 321 at full strength with 50% to 100% run-off (still trying to dial that one in). PH of mix is 5.9.
Overnight, one of the plants developed yellow blotches on two leaves. This is the same plant that had some sort of nute burn in week 1-ish, probably from a hot spot in the media. I’m seeing much smaller spots on other plants. Very faint and very small. More like light freckles. The fringe of many leaves is fairly dark green on all the plants, with some curling down slightly. Much more noticeable on the lower leaves than the upper.
My diagnosis, based on my vast experience (3 weeks) and a handy pictorial diagnosis chart, is that I have over-dosed on the nutrients. Since the roots are all still mostly in the Coco Loco and CL has all those amendments the Jacks I fed with were too much.
The questions now are “am I right?” and “What now?”. My thought is to flush with a couple gallons of RO & Cal-Mag, then give it a couple days before starting back with Jack’s at half strength? Thoughts?
