I’m using gh flora micro/bloom at 8/16 mL(Lucas formula) and it hasn’t changed since the start. 5.8-6.0 has been the only range I water in. I have only used these and the cal mag and fox farm boosters. No ppm meter yet, I did notice that my run off comes out at 5.3 but I’ve heard that measuring run off from coco isn’t the best to go by.What's your NPK??? What's the %
I'm going with potassium. You got purple, blue and yellow leaves going on. They look just slightly glaucous, and the yellowing is coming in.
Have you been letting your ph climb?????
If it isn't lockout, or slightly too much nitrogen. A pk booster wouldn't do any harm.
Do you have any idea of you ppms?
Have you lowered you nitrogen yet?
Awesome info man, so I just watered like 30 mins before I posted the thread, what would you advise me to do? Flush, then feed with higher ph? And let it swing or how do I go about starting to fix the lock out?Lockouts your problem dude. Sorry.
I love my coco coir. It's my medium of choice.
You have to treat it exactly the same, as any DTW garden. That means matching your waste, to what's going in.
Potassium is your problem, because the low ph in your coir is locking it out.
You gotta let it get close to 6.5 in your media before you top off. Swing from 5.5, to 6.5 each feed. Meaning. Your feed is 5.5ph. On each first feed, it's good if the ph of the waste is just over 6.
You have to treat your coir, like a reservoir. You're topping off, and letting it swing all the time.
Check this chart out.
See where all you essential nutrients are sitting for flower?

Let your ph swing bro.
Swinging is healthy
It really ain't too bad dude.Awesome info man, so I just watered like 30 mins before I posted the thread, what would you advise me to do? Flush, then feed with higher ph? And let it swing or how do I go about starting to fix the lock out?
Awesome, thanks manIt really ain't too bad dude.
I'd just leave it until tomorrow, or next feed. Then- give it a little flush.
Happy growing brother.
Much love
Did you read the ph of his runoff????? 5.3.I don't see how lockout or potassium can be viewed as the problem. What about that orange colored spotting? Why hasn't that been addressed? Tim1987, I've read your posts and you don't make much sense.
How about this? Stop the additives and just use the 3 part trio by itself, since that's what it was designed for, and see how that works. Also, the ppm and pH need to be known, particularly the ppm as that's the component that drives pH. The company website has better info than Tim does.
Agree with "less is more". That's the whole point of using the Lucus Formula.I don't see how lockout or potassium can be viewed as the problem. What about that orange colored spotting? Why hasn't that been addressed? Tim1987, I've read your posts and you don't make much sense.

I respect your opinion TJMO, but those leaves don't appear to K def.
I’ll definitely be looking into megacrop Next run, I’ve heard nothing but good things about itya less is usually more with coco.. Id be careful with too much calmag. too much cal can cause some nasty problems. Before I started using MegaCrop I got best results adding epsom (gets you mg and S) with most feedings and then once a week or so using calmag instead of epsom.
I feel like a damn advertisement because I keep repeating it, but I haven't had so much as a single problem since switching to MegaCrop. I'm adding a tiny bit of booster this last half of flowering to see if theres any difference, but I was very happy with just using MegaCrop.
Good luck and Timmy been giving sum great advice!
