Twice you've called Coco soil, but Coco is not soil ?

*also isn't the pH for Coco 5.8 - 6 ? It's hydroponic not soil and I think it needs to be lower than 6.3, but I don't use it because of issues exactly like what you're seeing to be honest, maybe somebody else will know the proper pH range ? ..if not this video should help, good luck!

actually 6.1-6.2 in coco is considered in range.
have you checked your ph meter? not sure if anyone has asked that already. at least some of that damage does look ph related now that its progressed. ( a nod to jypsy)

The video says 6.0 even? I've heard 5.8-6 but again I'm not a Coco guy tho I do have a hydroponics background (I'm going to grow a plant in Coco soon just to see what it's like.. although I have an idea:wall:

Did you wash the coco initially ?

i tried running coco at 5.8 and was having problems. read about half the coco threads and noticed most of the people killing it were ph'ing at 6.1-6.2. i tried it and it cleared up the problems i was having. i actually suggest a slow drift, from 6.0 to 6.4, centering around 6.2

Feed your Coco @ 6.0/6.1 and you SHOULD'NT have Definency Issues. That's why you want too spot check your run off when you notice an issue. RESET.... Then re-feed.

people insist on calling coco a hydroponic medium, and it's not. it has it's own requirements. coco and peat are both soil-less mixes, not hydroponics. all the pros that use either have long ago realized that and most of them will advise you to ph coco to 6.1, and peat to 6.3.
i know this from reading many of their blogs, people like Kyle Kushman, Kevin Jodrey, and the growers from cannasutra and crown genetics.

Guess your Memo about it NOT being Hydro was lost...... I consider it Hydro. But then again you called BULLSHIT on the Ph issue.

hey, i gave you a nod.....no reason to rub it in.
and it didn't look like a ph issue before, the signs didn't manifest till the second set of pictures

and look at the article you linked, no mention of coco or peat as hydroponic medium.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coir#Agricultural_and_horticultural_uses
no mention of "hydroponics"

my grandma used to tell me "the sun shines on a dogs ass occasionally" enjoy your moment in the sun....

Coir peat[edit]
Coco peat, also known as coir or coco, is the leftover material after the fibres have been removed from the outermost shell (bolster) of the coconut. Coir is a 100% natural grow and flowering medium. Coconut coir is colonized with trichoderma fungi, which protects roots and stimulates root growth. It is extremely difficult to over-water coir due to its perfect air-to-water ratio; plant roots thrive in this environment. Coir has a high cation exchange, meaning it can store unused minerals to be released to the plant as and when it requires it. Coir is available in many forms; most common is coco peat, which has the appearance and texture of soil but contains no mineral content
