Plant issues

What soil is that? Unless it straight coco or peat you shouldn't be adding any fertilisers or supplements.. I suspect you need to get a proper light. The plant has been over heated at some point but probably not causing the main problems you have. It also looks over watered

 

Oh it's coco ok that changes things a bit. It's either a nutrient issue or a over watering issue. It's definitely in the root area and the plant is struggling to draw up what it needs.

Do you know the EC/ppm of the nutrient solution you're putting in? If not, do you know at what % of full strength you're giving it? And is that on every watering? What brand nutrient are you using?

The temperature is a little low but not low enough to cause problems. Your humidity is good. Your pH is a little high but its not causing you the issues you have

 

Your light being so small is probably not doing you any favours. Small lights cause slow growth and plants that grow slow are susceptible to other problems. Fast growing plants are healthy and will be less effected by small nutrient imbalances and are much harder to over water

 

7.3 is far too high, aim for 5.5-6.5.

You need to read a lot more about growing in coco. It’s like the antisoil. First you are underwatering your seedlings. Coco MUST be kept moist. By drying out you are messing with an already fickle cation exchange capacity. Coco steals calcium and magnesium from the nutrients you feed your plants. If the coco is not prebuffered with these micros, the plant ends up missing out.

Coco performs best in small pots when fed often. I understand autos don’t like transplanting, but many do with great success. You started in finishing pot, which is too big, allowing all that extra nutrients to build up in the medium since the roots aren’t spread out yet.

Ph should be 5.8-6.2
Calcium and Phosphorus are right at the cusp of 6.0 ph for hydro uptake. A swing from 5.8 to 6.2 is best to cover both sides of the barrier.



Feeding to 20% waste is important to wash away salts. Feeding low ppm feeds, more often due to smaller pots and increased drainage from Perlite, is the key to fast growth in coco.

You’re already on your way now, but just try not to let the coco dry out and keep your feeds lower in ppm <500, definitely get some cal mag, and read all you can.

Here’s a link to my journal if you have some time. I’m very successful with coco, and hopefully you can devise a plan that will work for you.

You know that coco. Excellent
Good Morning Brother

Good morning to you as well. Slept like a baby last night

 

I was out like a light
At 1:30, my daughter holding my adorable 3 yr old granddaughter, woke us crying we gotta go. We jumped up to see if the fuzz was here or WTF.
Her baby daddy and them, have been here for 3years.
So the baby daddy, spoiled little mommas boy, smoking my shit, and then boom pipe dreams.
He quit his job to buy vintage clothing articles
Clothing accessories etc
He came back the other day with a watch he paid ten or twenty bucks for. It had shiny stones circling the watch face. He was all excited(bless his heart) thinking, hoping they were diamonds
I said let me get my loupe, so I started inspecting it. Not diamonds, paste sloppily glued on.
It was a Fossil. I told him pawn shops won’t touch em..
So 1:30am “we have to go” we jump up and , her boyfriend is jumping around screaming we have to go to L.A.

The added Perlite helps drainage. I’ve done one gallon pots of pure coco with good drainage and success but the larger pots need that Perlite to help out. Royal Gold Tupur is a great mix right out of the bag with Perlite already added.

The one inch rule does not apply here as coco drains way better than soil. Get a feel for a wet pot and a dry pot, and feed when it’s in between. Soil is usually peat based and though it’s hydrophobic, once saturated, peat holds onto moisture better than coco. That’s why soil growers feed maybe every 4-5 days. We as coco growers supply ALL the needed nutes since it’s naturally inert, and this need to feed daily. You’re gonna have some issues in the large pot until those roots fill in. I see it everytime someone tries this with coco. If you can get through that phase, you may be able to begin the multifeeds in flower once the pots are rooted

 

As long as it gets the ph into range and holds it there, it should be fine. That’s important.

 

As mentioned above - never let coco dry out and reduce your pH to around 5.8. If you're using GH Flora series, micro contains necessary elements that the grow and bloom don't have - it should be used at all times and always added first to your water. I suggest 6ml micro and 9ml bloom (h3ad formula for coco) per gallon of water - grow is not necessary but micro is. Good luck.

 

NO. Read my post again. 6ml MICRO, 9ml BLOOM - NO GROW.

 

No. That's the downside of growing autos. They have a pre-determined life and any slow up in growth will greatly affect your yield. Had you used photos, you would have had time for the plant to recover before you put it into flower. Good luck.

This is an auto at 5 weeks old for a comparison.

 

Looking good Mick. I’m liking the simplicity of the hempys too. Unfortunately, Supersoil is kicking their ass
