Phosphorus? Potassium? CalMag? What is going on here?

So in week 8 after flushing with EC 0.4 and giving extra PK 13/14 afterwards (EC 1.9) there are still problems occurring. I personally think it’s a deficiency of potassium and phosphorus. Can anybody give me some advice or tell me how to fix it? Thanks!

Some are just yellow spots and of no concern - you will never have 100% perfect leaves 100% of the time. However, other leaves are certainly indicating problems somewhere. I would say, after looking at your diary, the damage is being caused by burning and not any deficiencies of any sort. My guess would be that you are giving bloom booster as well as a P/K booster together and it is more likely your plants are suffering with either phosphorous or potassium over load. My advice would be to just give plain water for the next 3 irrigations to let the substrate leach for a bit to remove any P or K build up, then when you go back to feeding, use only the Ata PK 13/14 or the B'Cuzz universal coco booster separately, and not together in the same feeding. It's one or the other, not both. Your plants will be fine for 3 irrigations of plain water, in fact it is probably wise to use just plain water every third or fourth irrigation to prevent any build up of mineral salts, and your plants will have a chance to scavenge any left over nutrients in the coco before being topped up again. Growth won't be affected, but your coco will stay "cleaner". Hope this helps..... Organoman.

Don't forget Boron 😆 Idk, this is a tricky one, i hate handling these issue myself, try to think about the last feedings you gave them and what happened for this simptoms to show up, did u feed more than previously? the same? if you fed more it can be just a lockout from too much nutes, if you are feeding less then it can be a deficiency, idk bro, just use logic and get to the most logical answer, if you reduce the options of what i can be you will be more sure of the path you are taking for curing them. my guess its maybe a excess of potassium, lack of phosphorous, the potassium causing cal mag deficiencies. but my guess is shit cause idk all the details that you know. wichever path you take just go slowly and see if its working or not, if symptoms start mixing with each other the diagnostic can be way harder. good luck tho, stay lit growmie.
