pH still seems a bit high for coco. I’d try to lower it a bit more. To 5.8-6.
EC also seems low. Personally I’d be feeding them an EC of like 3-3.5. Although I will say depending on the nutrients used some salts will raise EC more than others so 2 different nutrient solutions at the same EC won’t necessarily be the same. Maybe try to use a nutrient calculator and find out the PPM levels of each element you’re feeding?

It consists of their Grow, Micro and Bloom formula. They’re chemical nutrients made from raw salts.
Also get their calimagic, which is their calcium magnesium supplement. It’s useful if you’re growing in coco coir.
Do checkout cocoforcannabis.com , there’s a lot of info you could find to get started with using coco coir as a substrate.

Barely for the same philosophy of your new decision, to reset fast a feeding disorder. Fulvic acid is acting like a “detox” agent and boost hydrogen exchange without adding much carbon in soil/coco. Very helpful for micros also. The use in you case was simple : applying a decent dry cycle, cutting the nutes and just dropping a fulvic watering that can last only 48 hours (depend on the root mass of your plants). If your plants show a sudden restart on tops and start to fade to light green on most damaged leaves, you can stop the process and start again the nutrients.
My personal opinion : On nutes, i think that you’re getting inspiration on a schedule that is not built for autos and their inherent steps of development.
Topmax : way too early. You have to wait that the flowers start to “stack” on themselves, actually they are just forming. The fulvic and humic inside are working against you, in increasing the disorder (previously with the grow compound). And it’s why the “mechanical” flush was an unnecessary stress imho.
Bioheaven : Without the Topmax it was a good move. But i rather prefer to use a good root stimulator instead in the start of the flowering stage, to secure the yield. Product like Bioheaven are best after any form of rush of the plant, to keep the grow/vigor streamlined. After the stretch, after the seedling state, in the middle of flowering stage, just before the final flush …

Hi @Fuel,
I get the feeling that you know more about “BioBizz” then I do. To tell you the truth, I use this fert for the first time…
Your guess is correct.
Before I grew with Advanced Nutrients and got good results. This time I grow for a friend and he wanted BioBiz…
So I ll take away TOPMAX and take a root stimulator… Then I study the schedule again.
I would have treated them with fulvic acid but didnt know the product. Lesson learned 
Thanks for your detailed input. I do appreciate…

Biobizz are pretty popular in growshops here 
Where was the coco sourced? Was it bricked? Was it prewashed by manufacturer? Unwashed coco has a tendency to be like a magnet for cal mag that will soak em up and not give it up to the plant, a good coco company will wash their coco with cal mag to create that buffer zone. Something to maybe consider? I don’t grow in coco but listened to a bit of grow talks on the subject and one bit of info that stood out to me
Synthetic nutrients for autos is never I good idea as far as I am concerned. I have tried them a few times and the only cause more problems than they were worth. Really like all organic might want to try some Doctors Earths dry organic fertilizer and use as a top dressing. Since I switched my auto grows have become less problematic. Just a suggestion though.
