1st coco attempt - how is she looking? (pics)

[whitewidow2]

Pics are as below.... she started nice but im seeing some colours in her upper leaves and she is starting to droop a bit?

Any ideas

 

[whitewidow2]

Advice greatly appreciated... took me ages to upload those pics lol

 

[whitewidow2]

What do you reckon people?......

 

[whitewidow2]

Come on.... ideas, i think it started well but im a bit concerned about the leaves curling down a bit and the slight markings on the leaves

I have used plenty of nil nat and gnat off and gave them a neem spray just recently

By the way, the strain is Bubbilicious

hope it helps !

It may be overwatering according to that guide but i water only twice a week

5L water into a 20L pot each time

1st with nutes at the correct ppm and 2nd with just plain old pH'd water

So twice a week roughly and wait til the top of the coco is dry?

 

[whitewidow2]

Any coco growers want to advise....

Im using grow micro bloom from advanced supplemented with sensi cal and also using roots excellurator from h and g

 

[whitewidow2]

Why would she get so droopy? And what is the thing going on with the leaves? Ive stuck to the ppm's advised and given pH'd water in-between feedings I really have no idea why this has happened Is it maybe fungus gnat related? Should i flush? Should i feed from the bottom up? Advice needed:

I water every day with with phd water at 5.8 with 20% to 40% run off to waste.Never with straight water.I use rain water and bring the ph up with well water that has lots of cal and mg .I only flush with 1/4 strength nutes just before I flip too flower.If you water with nutes evry day with a good run off there is no salt built up to warrant a flush.I think your plants look healthy and you might have to dial back your nutes a bit.From what I have learned coco doesn't really wick water all that well .

View attachment 1827347View attachment 1827348if i were a betting man i d guess one of these two most closely resemble your problems.personally im leaning more towards sulfer as the leaves on the lower part of your plant resemble the "A" picture in the sulfer .Also a lime green colar looks like your girl to me. although the magnesium rust spots are also a concern.I know in coco cal/mag are a problem for most.hopefully someone a bit more versed in plant diagnoseing will help.View attachment 1827349

 

[whitewidow2]

I decided to give her a flush....

20L of just pH'd water with some roots excel, voodoo juice and gnat off

Hopefully this will help the problem?

 

[whitewidow2]

She seems to have perked up a litle, gave 40L of water as it was 20L pots and I heard you should do double the volume for the flushing process til the water runs clean.

Now do I continue with my normal feeding schedule of 2 waterings a week 1st with nutes and 2nd pH'd water or do I go for half strength nutes and then the pH'd water?

I want to push her into flower soon so I know she is saturated in plain water just now and even though the leaves are still a bit crinkled they do seem to have lifted a bit.


I'm using complete advanced nutrients all the way, I am also interested in revive from AN - has anyone used it. Does it solve problems like this.

Like u say, need some advice from some fellow farmers

Peace

looks like you sprayed neem or some kind of insecticidal on the plant?Kinda burned them a lil as what it looks like to me..but every thing else looks good..

 

[whitewidow2]

Yeah thats exactly what i did.... does the neem burn them?

I wasnt having any problems before

I made it quite concentrated, would the heat from the T5 and the neem spraying have caused my plant to go like this???

I just thought it might have been my feeding schedule

I have now decided i am going to feed 4 times a week rather than twice in order to allow the nutes to be diluted a little

So basically - 1/2 strenght nutes > water > 1/2 strength nutes > water

For a 20L (4 gallon) pot - how much water should i use in total for the week - i was thinking maybe 8L per week?

 

[whitewidow2]

Anyone had neem burn before...?

I know my ppm's were in check

Yup, looks like Neem burn. That stuff is strong. Check out a product called Azamax. Its worked for me.

 

[whitewidow2]

Is azamax more plant friendly?...

 

[gotigers0420]

Is azamax more plant friendly?...

For sure. It can be applied as late as four weeks into flowering. Try to do it before lights out if you have a lights out period. Same with the Neem and I would cut it a little more with some water if you use it again.

 

[whitewidow2]

I cant get azamax where i live - i think i might have to go for a weak neem spray at night during lights off on the underside of the leaves only and change my lighting schedule to 18/6

I think im going to bin her - she is not looking good

You can find Azamzx on Ebay pretty cheap, unless it is illegal for you. Good luck and happy growing
