Coco holding too much water. Pots wont dry and roots turning brown
Anyone ever had this problem? Been growing in coco for 5 years and never ran into this. This batch is almost like dirt its so fine and taking over 5 days to dry out which i think is causing root rot. Clones were in rockwool and had nice roots before going to 4x4 pots of this coco. I believe this is also causing ph problems but i especially dont see how these can thrive when the coco is staying this wet.
Dont know what to do besides pull everything out and replant.

Take the pot and place it in another pot of DRY coco, it will wick some of the moisture out for now until you can figure out what's going on. Sounds like you got some shitty media

This happens when you get way too much Mg in the medium. A flush with some gypsum would do wonders... pushes some of that Mg out and lets in air.

Thanks Tree, nothing different this round that i can think of. It all started when i got this new coco. Rinsed and charged it like I always do, but it just wont dry out.
Never heard that about mg slownikel, but i did order some gypsum and will be here tomorrow so i will try. Seems like no matter how much i flush them makes no difference though, so i hope the gypsum helps if not going to have to dig roots up and plant in fresh coco. Roots are looking pretty rough also.

Its cyco coco. Ive used in past but it didnt hold so much water. One thing that i did different tree is go from rockwool to 4x4 pots instead of solo cups. Always pretty cautious about over watering tho.
