    Hey everyone

    I hope I can get some help I am new to growing and my plants were doing good but now I have noticed some dropping / curling of the leaves and browning on the edges what could be the issue and solution ?

    I am growing in coco , using a 150w LED and a 105w CFL , watering 30ml of water every morning ( water runs out the bottom after 30ml )

    What is your pH going in and coming out, and ppm's? What coco are you using and was it buffered or did you pre-charge yourself? Next time add 30% perlite to your coco. Welcome to GC. :)

    Many new growers hear all the rave about coco and jump right in. This causes problems everytime. It’s a really simple medium to grow in, but like all of them, it has to be prepared right. I’m interested to know what kind of coco you used too. If it’s not pre rinsed and buffered, it could be salty and burning your seedlings. I’ve rinsed 3000 ppms of salt out of fresh coco bricks. That would kill any plant not suited for an oceanic environment.

    Coco alone hold water rather well, so Perlite is needed. 30-50%. This allows you to feed more, and with each feed, you are supplying fresh nutrients, and oxygen to the roots.

    You will want to feed 1/4 to 1/2 strength nutes. Less is more here

    Welcome to GC and good luck!!
