what is wrong with my coco babies.

[#1cheesebuds]

they r a few weeks old and r now yellowing. could this be from over feeding or under feeding or somthing totaly different? are they saveable? I been feeding them pureblend pro grow formula. I been feeding them every other watering. This is all the info I have to give. I do make sure the ph of my water is 6.0-6.5

 

[nycjb]

6.0-6.5 is kind of high for coco...i stick between 5.5-6.1

 

[#1cheesebuds]

wate I ment between 5.7-6.0 for real. that was a typo. also what should I try to fix them. maybe flush them with clean water or maybe feed them a bit more on the next feed. or maybe add some cal mag to the water. I really gotta try and make them good n green agen cuz there the best seeds from what I grew last summer.

If you are watering with RO or very low ppm water I would give them just a small dose of cal-mag and let a little run off, maybe 5% and based on what that looks like you can see whats going on in the rootzone. The light green says hungry to me but could be from ph locking out nutes. PBP can be short on micro nutes for some plants.NS

high!

cocos is a hydro media -> normally should be fed every watering, try watering them with ph 5,8 and ec 1,2 and they should bounce back (at least the bigger ones).

blessss

 

[Guest 88950]

correct the problem and they will bounce back......it is a weed by the way. ive tortured lots, stunted growth, lockout from them getting too dry while out of town........they may look ugly but once i correct the problem they go back to doing their thing.

not saying that i havent lost plants but it was from my neglect.

good luck

The plants are starving for the 24 hours after the water flush....and plain water throws off your nutrient ratio in coco, even once you feed them again. In unamended coco, watering is feeding and feeding is watering. Just like hydro, in that way. Watering to runoff keeps salts from building up in the coco, and regulates ph. Flushing is for the final stage of flowering. I believe your deficiencies are being caused by the water flushes.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

So I should feed them agen? that shounds like what yall r saying.

 

[bombadil.360]

feed but do not water so much!!! and do not feed full dose at that stage either.

coco is not completely hydro and not soil either.

you need to feel it out, use the force luke!

 

[#1cheesebuds]

well there not looking any better. and some of them have a nother problem. the leaf pic is from the plant in the front n middle. also I think I need to give em some calmag.

also I been thinking I should go back to soil or try hydro agen.

What brand of coco are you using? Was it bagged or bricked?

 

[Ground Up]

FLUSH.!!! The coco to death....before usung!! them add a little epson salt to the food ,. every strain is diff.. I just cut clones off my larry og mom from seed. its reqiuring 2tsp of grow and 1 tsp of epson salt per feeding...And thats from tray to coco,,, .or else they get red stems and look like yours. give them some off time from the lites.too. they need once stressed.. good luck

 

[Adrift]

here is my advice, smack them with a LOW ppm solution , like 200-300 ppms, and see what your run off is, if its not super high, which it looks like it will be low, then you will know if they need more or less food, my guess is more, so then smack them with some 700-800 ppm food, and let them sit, dont water again till the pots feel light!

good luck

 

[Adrift]

an ya! coco needs food everywater, dont ever give coco plain water, at most, give them low solution water, like 200 ppms or something! NEVER PLAIN!

It is brick coco. I have been using brick coco for 3 years now with no ill effects. but I have never grown in beer cups befor alwase grew in 1 liter or more. this time I could only grow in beer cups.

I have seen ppl grow big plants in beer cups. I just need to figure out how I can do the same.

 

[TribalSeeds]

Listen to Drama. You have destroyed your cation exchange capacity. Google - Coco CEC. Don't flush coco until the end. Read Canna's website.
Your ph should be 5.8.
If you're using tap, make sure you let the chlorine evaporate and feed the plants with luke warm water.

 

[#1cheesebuds]

the water Im useing is filtered tap water then I add the nuts to it then I make the ph 5.7-6.0 thats how I have been watering any time I do coco.

k ill try it and see what happens.
thanks for the info and ur opinions guys.
