Growing in coco/peat, tent is constantly kept at 75 lights on 58-60% RH. Feed ph is 6.0 everytime, I’ll check runoff next feed to see where I am at. Everything was growing perfectly up until a week or 2 ago. I do not want to lose this plant if possible! Any suggestions are appreciated!

How. Much peat Grow Brow, coco has the ability to drench and and be ready the next day for drenching again, I’m pretty sure peat holds water longer. What’s your feeding interval?? Could be too often for this medium combo and typically not a good mix. Your environmental and PH numbers look good. Calling some Growmies for another opinion @Oldguy @kaptain3d @low @Growdoc

Roots organic coco peat mix, I usually run coco & have pretty good results, I got this from a friend for free so I decided to run with it. Thanks for the reply man🫡

I grow in peat moss (Pro-Mix) and I feed/water every 3 days

I’m was feeding every day until i started to see deficiencies, last 2 days I have been flushing with water

Coco and peat are inert as in no nutrients. I think the issue is overwatering Growmie. The issue with coco is it should never dry out and with the peat holding water/feed longer the frequency for feeding again may be challenging. Are you suing a TDS and PH pen and feeding to run off and checking the PPMs and PH from the run off. You may have to treat this like soil and coco and feel the weight of the pot before feeding again

Thinking so as well Dell.
I use pro mix ( peat ) and usually go 3 days between watering / feedings depending on size of plant and pot same as @kaptain3d

This is roots 707 mix coco/peat definitely holds water a lot longer than coco perlite mix but if I were to wait 3 days in between feedings/ waterings it would bone dry I feel

What size vessel are you using? You may have to use the pot lift method of feeling the weight after drenching and then feel the weight again around the end of day 2. You can always burry your finger in knuckle deep and feel the the medium dampness/dryness. I would stay away from the water feed only unless you’re correcting a high PPM reading from the run off

Girl is damn pretty to me. I’ll sit back and watch and listen to what the big dogs say about it. Cheers!
Looks like she is just growing super fast to me. I am blind though.

I run Promix (peat) and perlite half and half, I water every other day in flower, every 3-4 in veg. The plant looks overwatered to me at first glance from the swelled looking and droopy leaves. I let my Promix dry between watering, which now is every other day and they are pretty dry, but not air light , if that makes sense. Peat can dry out where coco should not get completely dry, so I’m not sure how mixing them would work, I do feel the water retention of the peat would carry them longer between watering. 
And as Dell said, that type of media gets fed every watering, simply adjust your EC , using runoff numbers to tell when you are in the right range of nutrients. There is no nutrients in that medium unless you put them there.

Roots Organics Formula 707 is a soilless organic potting mix made from peat, coco fiber, perlite, pumice, composted forest material, worm castings, and other organic nutrients. It holds water well and is designed for larger containers and slower drying. Because it retains moisture longer than coco, it should be treated more like soil than a hydroponic medium. allow the top inch or two to dry before watering again, usually every two to four days depending on pot size and environment. When watered too frequently, oxygen cannot reach the roots and plants may appear droopy, pale, or weak even though the medium is still wet. This overwatered look is usually caused by watering before the pot has had time to dry and breathe.

It’s basically soil. I don’t think this would require nutrients every time.

Spot on Brother, the castings and compost would definitely have nutrient value. Feeding every time in that would likely fry them. That’s what makes this forum great, you’ll get experienced answers that cover all angles.

I don’t know if it’s just me as I am learning as well, but don’t the leaves look excessively dark green like too much nitrogen? I’m saying that as a separate item to the leaf curling, over water situation. Could it just be the lighting in the pictures or possibly just the phenotype of the plant? Thanks for the input.

What are the runoff ph and tds numbers
I’ve used peat/promix and treated it just like coco-coir feeding daily at 5.8ph.
I had ph dropping low issues and had to flush higher ph till my runoff was back about 5.8
Peat can be used like coco-coir but I’m of the mindset now it needs more runoff then coco-coir to keep things fresh..
Now my experience is with extra perlite mixed so in my case things drained very well ..
I just read through and didn’t see any actual runoff numbers maybe i overlooked them, but that be my starting point

This is not just a coco and peat mix. soilless organic potting mix made from peat, coco fiber, perlite, pumice, composted forest material, worm castings, and other organic nutrients. It’s basically soil, and needs to be treated as such. The moment you add compost/castings, it’s soil.
From my understanding they do this because it makes the bags more consistent.
The numbers are still important to track.
@Darran
That’s probable

Thank you @Low . Still learning myself, but it was my first reaction that I had when I saw the picture.
