Cal-mag defficient?

Also what's going on with the light? Is that a UV bar or another LED? Isn't it blocking some of the light by hanging down so far?
I have a HLG 600 R and 2 led bars in there on either side. The plant that the back led bar hangs above is about 18 inches shorter. It's also the plant that will finish the fastest and it's the only one not receiving any air pumped to the medium.

But yeah the light is hanging lower than the others.

You're plants looks super hot, and next time chop off the little side branches before flipping them. You can also defoliation some of that Congo-like mess and still have plenty of leaves.
If I try lollipopping the lower stuff now will I shock them and slow down flower?

yeah I probably should do a bit of defol. They were hot I nearly burnt them bad. Had 2.8 EC run off this morning so I ran a big flush today and I'll start feeding at 1.6 tomorrow. The leaves were looking k deficient but that deficiency was caused by salt build up and nutrient imbalance in the media. At least having all those leaves gives my plant something to feed from if things are going south.
So you keep putting nutrients in only to flush them back out? Doesn’t that seem odd to you?

Your going to feed (flush?) 1.0 EC, see if it responds, if it looks happy, start throwing 1.6 back in?
Wouldn’t it be more sensible to just maintain 1.0 EC if it likes it?
Go back and read, unanimously it was suggested your feeding to much, your insistent thats impossible because your getting deficiency. You do understand that feeding excessively causes deficiency?

Your EC runoff, comes out as as salty pool water.

The universe is trying to tell you something.

Once again, I’m growing plants much bigger and healthier on way lower EC.

You can lead a horse to low EC feed but you can't make him drink it.

It can't. Unless it hasn't been properly rinsed of the coco "dust" and its holding too much water. Properly rinsed coco holds about the perfect amount of water and air, mine get watered about every hour..
Yeah mate mine do too. as soon as they are over 5 weeks old I keep the Coco saturated during lights on.

Doesn't really matter the age of the plant. The roots will always have enough oxygen in Coco

So you pump air into the medium. Makes sense.
I'm experimenting with pumping in extra air yes. I'm pumping air into 3 out of the 4 plants that I have in flower now and they are almost twice the size of the one without air. But that's not really definitive so I'll run a few more grows and see if the ones with added air are always bigger than the ones without. I'll also be looking at harvest weight and quality to see if it's worth it or not. The smaller one that didn't have added air is finishing up faster and will go close to the breeders recommended 80 days. The other could go 2 or 3 weeks longer.
