Cal-mag defficient?

You are not on topic. Go back to sleep
You're completely right. You posted a thread asking for help and you solved your own issue.

"I'm pretty sure it's the new Coco sucking out the cal-mag."
"I didn't think Coco could be overwatered"
"I think as the Coco breaks down which it would be when I'm mixing in perlite and potting up it exposed new sites for the cal-mag cation exchange."
"Could be something to do with my tap water."

You've blamed everything from the coco to your water. You literally were pumping air into the coco thinking the plants were getting oxygen from it.

You posted a thread asking if your plants are "cal-mag deficient". They are not. By the way they are two separate things. Calcium and magnesium. You are overwatering using an automated watering system on plants without fully established roots.

Well done though. Pump the air back into the coco, it'll boost their growth. Good luck with the seedlings.

I don't have the motivation to try and explain it to you. If can't read and understand the thread this is not my problem.

You've only got a few grows under your belt yourself so I don't think that you are experienced enough to be giving reliable advice. If you could refrain from commenting that would be great.

There are other more experienced growers in here who came to help and are giving some solid advice. That's who I will listen to thanks cob.

Ok, best of luck with that perpetual grow.

So anyway I went with a full dose of cal-mag and some base. My gut tells me they are underfed so I'm going to feed them at 1.8 EC for a day or 2 and see what happens. Might be a mistake but let's see anyway.

1.5EC is wicked high for a plant that small. Haven't gone past 1.2EC in this room. Just sayin'.

I like to roll the dice and see what happens. I pushed the EC on young plants of this strain last time and they responded well.

If I'm wrong I learn and move on. Easy.

I'm not really sure why some flower tents thrive on low EC and others run higher. I wish I could flower at 1.2 EC, would save me some bucks. But I'm getting deficiencies at 1.7.

Well I'm not listening to a weirdo like you who tells others he is still on his second grow.

The second grow that was started back in April last year..

hmmmmm... somebody is full of shit ain't they
Yeah I can't change the name. Well done Sherlock. Between your growing skills and detective skills I'm not sure which profession you should be in.

When they show more deficiencies after this 1.8 EC feed you going to bump it up to 2.1 EC?

You've now had even more experienced people call out your stupidity with your grow.

You want to continue to try to insult me for actually giving you helpful advice? What do I know, I'm still on my second grow.
