I must be doing something wrong? Pic.

flush the piss out of her then start nutes over

 

that looks like nitrogen deficiency...i would up the nutes some more. especially since you havent been giving her much. She probably has gone through all the nutes in the soil.
You know your ph is good so there is no lock out to worry about. and to be honest that doesnt look like nute burn or anything to warrant a flush.

IMO you should keep doing 1/2 strength fox farm but water with nutes twice then go to every other watering. I bet she will start to grow well after that.

 

i second the nitrogen theory....

 

That soil looks bone dry, like powder. So you watered once in the last six days?

In my environment in smaller cups, coco/peat mix, I'm watering several times a day, then once daily when transplanted to a 3 gallon, and up to 3 times a day during heavy bloom. The least frequently you should be watering, is once every two days or so, and that's if you have virtually no circulation or ventilation.

Slowly start watering and feeding your girls more and they'll perk up, they need some food and some maintenance... and any other info you can share about your environment will help the folks here help you Good luck

 

For instance, these ladies are also 5 weeks from germination here. Regular watering and feeding goes a long
way, just be sure you don't let the pots over dry, and don't keep them drenched. When I was starting out,
I'd gently lift mine to tell when they needed it, these days I just sort of 'know':





Good luck!

 

i agree, once in 6 days is a long time to go. a good rule of thumb is poke your finger an inch into the soil and if its dry then water untill there was a little run off.

again, i would feed the plants nutrients the next two times then go every other watering.

good luck

 

That looks like magnesium deficiency, which is common in coco.

 

we are just telling ya what we see. Thats what it looks like. FF does have mag in it but not a whole lot. A lot of people add epsom salt or cal/mag to help. I use 1/2 strength FF nutes for veg and had to ad a little epsom salt to help with the mag def.

I personally water my plants ever 2 days and they get fed every other watering. Its just what they like. It wasnt a set feeding schedule. I do the finger test and also pick the pots up and see how light they are.

its only advice bro. Take it or leave it.

Good Luck,

Regardless how often you say you're watering or feeding her, the soil is positively unhealthily dry in your photo, and you need to be doing it more often, as much as once a day depending on your environment.

I feed every single day, several times a day during some stages, and give pure water only once every few weeks aside from the end flush. Anything less, and your plant will simply not grow as fast, and anything less than that, and you're asking for health trouble (which you have now). When you don't water and feed enough, you're inviting a myriad of deficiencies and issues. Once a plant has a taste of nutes, they begin requiring them regularly, it's just how it works.

 

And you did say you fed them 6 days ago, and watered once since then... to me, that's a span of 6 days where they only were given liquid only once. That's simply not enough, unless you misspoke and you were watering more frequently, but looking at the dry soil in the photo and how it collects loosely around the edges of the pot (looks like it just came out of the bag, that's -way- too dry for a plant to thrive in) I'd have to say it does look like you only watered once in about the last week, like you mentioned earlier.

 

Calcium and magnesium have some sort of unholy bond. If the ratio between them gets out of whack, one of the two can get locked out. Magnesium is usually the loser. This is normally not an issue. The nutes have calcium and magnesium in the correct ratios. Problems rarely arise.

But coco has it's own issues with calcium. The coco gobbles up calcium, rendering it unavailable to the plant. This is an issue until the coco's calcium cravings are satisfied. This sequestering of calcium actually interferes with the plant's uptake of magnesium. Magnesium issues in coco are common. I grow in coco and I add extra Cal-Mag at every feeding. I've been using Botanicare's Cal-Mag Plus, but I'm going to switch over to Humbolt's Sea Mag and Sea Cal, which will allow me to feed the two elements separately. At only twice the price! What a deal.

 

Homer,

I have not used Epsom. I can't give you the arguments for and against it. I've used Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus in two coco grows and it went well. I've also used Cal-Mag Plus in soil grows, though much more sparingly. That doesn't mean I'm ready to assert that this is the correct course for you. I certainly have seen coco growers use Epsom, at least as part of their Cal-Mag solution, particularly organic growers. I think something on the order of a tablespoon per gallon is traditional.

I'm not an organic grower. I'm growing soiless, coco & perlite. I adjust the pH of my solutions to 5.8, like one would for hydro. But what you have going on is more like a soil grow. So what I'm using and how I'm using it may not be directly applicable to your circumstances.

I'm not even sure what my pH target would be with that mix. Do you consider the coco an amendment to the soil and use the soil pH range, 6.5 to 6.8, or do you consider the soil an organic amendment to the coco and pH to 5.8 - 6.0? I'm not sure of the correct answer to that question. I think I'd treat it like soil.

 

How about i dont water you for 6 days

 

the guy isnt stupid. he explained himself, im sure he learned. try and be a little more constructive and a little less of a prick...


sorry guys, anyways, yeah that doesnt really look like nitrogen def anymore. Id agree with the mag def. im sure they will pull through for you.

good luck bro
