Medium: 70/30 coco/perlite, 3 gal. fabric pots
Nutes: emerald harvest 3 part series (started at 1/4, recently moved to 1/2 strength. 2 feeds then a cal-mag water rotation)
Strain: white widow auto by MSNL
Water: usually ~6.0 pH
Light: HLG 135 QB V2 r-spec running at ~70% and 26” above canopy 24/0

pics are 25 days after germination. I didn’t know how to adjust the QB in the beginning and put it too close. Also the lights were accidentally turned off for ~10 hours 5 days before pics. I know they’re stressed but this seems like something more.

Also should state that I haven’t watered more than 1.5 solo cups on each and usually the watering days are ~3 or 4 days apart

For starts your PH is a little low which can lock out certain nutes. Try getting that PH in the 6.5 area.

For coco, I prefer 5.7 to 6.2. I think 6.5 may work OK but it's a little high for Coco IMO. Did you rinse the coco to remove any excessive salts? also, you should feed Coco more frequently and it shouldn't be allowed to dry out between feeding.

actually.....i just noticed this is in coco that changes EVERYTHING. First off, you arent watering enough. Coco needs multiple waters and feeds DAILY. Coco is treated like hydro so your new PH is the 5.8 range. I apologize for missing that

Yeah I noticed the leaves were a little crispy. I rinsed the coco some (filled up a 5 gal. Bucket and poured it through. After seeing the salt buildup the next day where I washed them I realized it probably wasn’t near enough)

So the leaves having spots and changing colors and stuff is from a lack of water or a lack of nutrients in the water? I could see how the two are inseparable

It’s my first time. I’ve been creeping on here for a while now and see all these warnings about over watering so I guess I went a little overboard trying to avoid that

soil is where you have to watch for overwatering. Never let coco go dry. I assume once you water more often and get that schedule under control, you'll see a fast improvement. and hey....we all make mistakes. only question is will you learn from it...
