Would love some help and support 1st time grower






Hello growmies! This is my second grow but first with nute issues. I am trying to understand what is going on here but I feel like I am chasing my tail everyday.

Here is some information about my grow.. coco coir (coco loco) I ph down to 6.3-58 ph. My run-off is about 6.1-6.3 usually. I use Gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-4-8 at the recommended ratios. I added cal mag to the water source recently thinking I have a nitrogen excess problem blocking potassium but I have no clue what is wrong now. I just flipped to flower 10 days ago and I am panicking a bit. I also added half the recommended top dress of phosphorus in the form of seabird guano tot his 4 days agoa. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nitrogen toxicity. Back off the nitrogen for a few feedings.

Low for coco loco, treat it like a soil medium not coco. I’ve used the coco loco for the last 5 years and 6.5-6.8 is the sweet spot :love_you_gesture:

I grew in CocoLoco exclusively for a few years before I switched to cocoa and agree with OG. Treat it like soil and get your ph up :+1:t2:

I stand corrected on this and my apologies for fake advice :rofl:

Thanks I appreciate it! I had thought this when I first started and kept it 6.5 so this makes a lot of sense to me.

I wanted to give an update for everyone who helped out. I recently moved the ph up to 6.5-68 range and did a 10 gallon flush of just 6.7 water on them. They are responding so well.

Well I started phing the water to 6.5-6.8 and things were going well until I noticed this this morning.


I’m not sure what is happening? But something looks off.

Here is a healthy part of the same plant? Any thoughts?

And I think I found a bunch of seed pods but they could be swollen calyx’s. Any thoughts would be helpful. Week 5 flower should I keep going?



Looks good to go to me
