How frequently are you watering?

 

[MickFoster]

Coco should be fed daily to run off.
These plants are the same age as yours..........fed everyday to run off.

You're in coco.........it's supposed to stay wet.

I'm feeding every day so I don't quite get why they looking so droopy and that

50/50 coco perlite is a really light mix!

You probably need to increase your EC to around 0.8EC. In your terms 800.

Probably needs a better light.

I missed that reference to the 600w LED lol. Well spotted.

it’s most likely a 65w blurple

My best guess is they are standing way to wet. Seedlings don't like wet feet all the time and seeing they don't drink much at that stage it's easy to overwater. Had this problem before where where plants would stay small with the internodes being cropped up on each other like that. Was using soil myself but the same effect might be happening.

His plant in 50/50 coco perlite is at a stage where daily feeding would be fine.

it's only been 2 days it's been 50/50 tho I did have it at 70%coco and 30% pre mixed by plant magic

Shouldn’t matter.

if you’re worried increase EC as I mentioned and feed when you want.

I’ve only been growing in coco for 12 years. So I guess I just could be wrong.

just don't get it humidity is good temps are good feeding e.c of 0.4 at moment because of the size don't want to over do it , I'm feeding daily roots look good but just no proper growth

 

[jondamon]

Incase you’re wondering.

These are my plants at 0.9EC daily feeds!

how many Plants do you think are there?

No proper growth because EC is too low.
