So my kushes are 3 weeks into 12-12 now, and when removing the males, I noticed that the plants in coco had weaker roots than the ones in soil, a bit brown as well. My girls are doing fine, not showing signs of stress above the scrog, but the leaves beneath the scrog are dying a bit too fast for my taste (so early in flowering), and seem to be too easy to detach as well. I also have some fungus gnats flying in there.
So my speculation is that I have a mild case of root rot with some of the coco plants, at least not strong and healthy roots as coco is said to promote. My question is, what can I do now, at this stage of the plant's life to counter this?
My plants: 7 - 5 in coco, 2 in soil. Hindu and Afghan Kush. Screen is about 2' above soil, under 400w HPS. mix is coco-perlite 50-50. I water about once a week. In the beginning of my grow I would water every day, keeping it constantly wet as everybody says coco can't be overwatered. This I think was a grave mistake, MY coco can definitely be overwatered and they started showing symptoms rather early then I switched to wet-dry cycle.
last watering I gave 0.3EC with 3ml/L h2o2, then on the next day 1.5EC of HESI coco, pk 13/14, supervit, and 1tspn/gl of pure bee honey. letting dry now. After the first part of feed I noticed an improvement, one of the bottom fan leaves that was lying on the medium about to wilt, was standing upright again.
I don't have enzymes or root XL, but I can purchase some if it's really valuable. I'm not sure if I have any option to purchase friendly bacteria, but if you know of another way to introduce them... My grow is not organic, I feed hydro nutes even in soil.
Love to hear any advice.
