If you boost up the smaller plant on something, or supercrop the tall branches, you can keep the canopy at the same level to make sure everyone is getting the optimal amount of light. Plants are looking great!

Thanks for the tip. Next Friday I’m doing some defoliation and was gunna boost it up to the same height as the other one. I hope the stretching stops because I’m getting real close to the light

Thanks for the info each and everyone of you. New growth is coming in lush green while the old leaves are looking a lot better. I raised my ph which I think was the main cause and stopped giving Calmag as a supplement. I was also doing epsom salt sprays at night when lights were off. I think the main cause was my ph and my plants just seem to like a higher ph. Thank you everyone.

I know this is an older post, but just curious what you ended up raising your ph to? I was having similar issues with coco... I am running Canna Coco nutes and was ph'ing between 5.7-6.2 and seeing a lot of issues off and on thru veg. I have a buddy on Instagram and he said he don't even ph his nutrients for coco and his grows look amazing.... So I said fuck it and fed at a ph of 6.5 and they turned around fast... Weird how that works when its breaking the rules for the proper ph for coco. He feeds between 6.5 and 7.0.

I didn’t raise my ph I kept it at 5.8 and once I switched to flower they looked a lot better. Not really sure what it was from but I’m having the same issue again with a different line of nutes so it’s deff not from the nutrients it’s got to be something I’m doing or not doing

When was the last time you calibrated your ph meter?

I calibrate it weekly and its a great pen (Apera Ph60). Its right on the money... My issues started going away with a higher ph almost immediately.

My plants are looking amazing right now, today is their first day of 12/12. Much healthier than i anticipated.

Last pic is the SKVA Chem 91 and she is finicky asf... If she's happy, things have gotta be going well. You can see a bit of issue in her older leaves before I raised the ph, new growth looks great.

Try feeding between 6.3-6.5 for a little while and see if things turn around... It was the only thing that helped mine. Sometimes ya gotta break the rules and do what works best for you.

I feed coco using canna at 5.3-5.5 and it works like a charm. Not one yellowing leaf from seed to flower.

See I thought that to then got conflicted information about them being underfed. That’s kinda the problem hear although a great informative forum you will get 5 different answers to what worked for one person to the next.

Everyone has different experiences due to a multitude of variables. Growing any crop is Infinitely complex. Think about just a few seemingly innocuous differences between two grows can result in very different outcomes. You are asking questions which people are trying to help you with but are not happy there's no consensus. You could always watch a video of someone else going through an entire grow, try to match all those parameters and still have a wildly different outcome. As for the truth, well we could very easily be 2d beings projected into 3d plane of existence somehow and you'd still be here chastising fellow growers about the quality and veracity of their opinions. You will eventually sift through enough information that you'll be able to take what you need for your needs.
