Yes and yes, follow the directions on the bottle for proper dosage. Don't expect the affected leaves to recover. The new growth should be better. goodluck

Yep, some cal-mag and about 20% strength vegetative nutrients.. and this plant should be back to normal within 5-7 days. I would be careful on hand irrigation.. since the plant is now more sensitive to over/under watering. I also use a bit of roots excelurator and recharge which helps give the roots a boost while conditioning the soil with beneficial bacteria similar to great white. Good luck!

Cheers dude, im already using rhizotonic, cannazym, along with canna a and b, my plants are like 11 days old so im just giving a 0.7 ec mix with n ph between 5.8 and 6.0... ive been in 2 minds wether to start with the cal mag but left it as it raises my ec but my waters very soft at 100ppm and thats european measurement so were talking just over 0.1 ec so it makes sense that it needs cal mag especially in coco..

My course of action will be adding cal mag to my tank, and maybe foliar spray my plants once a week with vulvic acid to help with the intake of nutes just incase..

Appreciate the advice...

Sounds like a good plan. I use well water so pretty much I have pre-mixed a cal-mag mix on tap. :P That's how I know it works wonders in helping sick plants rebound. Canna is also a good nutrient line for sure.

Im still new to all this.. ive done a few decent grows, with no ph tester, no ppm, just straight tap, follow the instrictions off the back of the bottle and i always had deficiencies but still managed to produce good weed at a decent yield so im kinda pissed now im getting technical and still getting def lol...

i think you're chasing a problem that isn't a problem and then that's where your problem is coming from later on down the line...leave it alone at this stage with just water. i found that adding camg+ was screwing up my grows because my water has too much ca in it. i've added a source of mg to my soil and resolved the problem.

ETA: i see you're in coco, sorry, but you should still check to see if you're getting too much calcium

I don't think it would hurt at all.. I would just keep the cal-mag to a light feeding. These are what my plants look like.. and everyday they get well water.

I think the brown spots on my baby leafs show clear signs tbh, and my water as great as it is for tap water is very soft with a 0.1 ec which ive been told causes cal mag problems, couple that with using coco and i think its safe to say the brown spots on my leafs is early cal mag def.. ive had the same problem each grow, the baby leafs start to yellow then before you know it the whole plant starts to look like crap.. noob mistake im hoping to correct this time...

okay, it's just easy to think it's a deficiency when it's not in soil; although you're in coco, the rest of her looks great and since the rest of them also look good, sometimes chasing a problem just makes it worse. sounds like you have it figured out, so good luck on your grow.

I totally agree and i am a worrier so i think adding problems were there is none is my speciality haha hopefully now i have a little more knowledge when it comes to ph, ec, the way i feed.. i mean following the rec dose off bottles is almost 3x more than im currently feeding now, so ive probably had a good few defs in the past but for some reason ive always managed to get great yields and decent bud, even though towards the end my plants have always looked pretty shitty lol
