First time grow whats goin on?

[420ausboi]

First time hydro grower lil confused on whats going with my plant.

growing under sf600 in canna coco mixed with about 20-30 percent perlite (kinda screwed that up)
using gp dual fuel 1+2, kraken root booster (liquid stuff) and with abit of calmag and a tablespoon or so of molasses

my last feed was on the 12/12 at .5 per litre
With the dual fuel 1+2 calmag and kraken root booster and just add a table spoon of molasses to the whole bucket. This time i just used normal tap water and which i phed to like 5.6 and the ppm was about 660-670 in that last feed fed it once a week, watered it once a week (one with demineralised water first week and no calmag)

I made about 4 litres up of water and drenchend all the coco around it.

at the first 2 weeks i was watering with demineralised water from the supply shop so id try get the ec up to where it needs to be the first 2 weeks ec .6. i complete forgot about calmag and would honestly need it abit more if i used demineralised water. So i got some and added it in week 2 but im at like week 3 nearly 4 and shes not looking so great, abit shriveled and sad.. any ideas why? Temps are sitting at 26 degrees Celsius.

any advice would help honestly just wanna learn and grow the shit we all smoke plus i find the plant fascinating with all its uses

They look starving and thirsty.

Feed the poor thing.
Never use plain water.
Try tap water and eliminate the calmag.
You should be feeding daily.

Leave the damned molasses out. Totally unnecessary.

Yup agreed, don’t know about kraken but not seeing microbiology in that system

Honestly was wondering too, if there was a point in using molasses if you’re not using soil but idk first time just want to learn about the plant trial and error i guess hahaha

Feeding it today have been waiting for it to dry up takes upto like 3 days to dry up enough but i think im just being overly cautious and its starving it

You're treating coco like soil........coco is drain to waste hydroponics.
Never, ever let coco dry out..........it should always be saturated.
Allowing coco to go through a wet/dry cycle will result in salt build up.

Ahh I’ve been going about this all wrong that does make sense, I’ve been treating it just like i would soil so im being way over cautious in the wrong way and its begging for nutrition and water. Thanks for the advice I’ll remember all this for my second go
