Thanks for the great feedback, I will implement this feeding regimen right away.

Thanks. Just to be clear, I only watered them with plain water once after transplanting, and only because I thought they had nutrient burn and thus followed the advice of an article to flush with plain water. Obviously this was not the correct approach, so lesson learned there. I have a bottle...

They seem to be doing much better, thanks. I haven’t had a chance to read the pH meter manual and get it calibrated (on the schedule for today) so I’ve still been using the GH indicator solution. I’ve added just a smidge more of the pH Down after mixing the nutrients into my water, so I’m...

Thanks for sharing your grow journal, those autos look great! I will definitely stick with coco until I can get it right (hopefully I can turn around this first grow). I have some Seedsman auto kush, so after this grow I'll give those a go. Also, I ordered an Apera pH meter today, so I'm...

Thanks. Next time I do solos I will leave them in longer.

I appreciate this info, thank you. I read up on buffering and cation exchange and it makes perfect sense. I will get that pH lowered and continue to supplement with cal mag.

Hey man, if I had this figured out I wouldn’t be in Newbie Central looking for help. You seemed to imply that I was pulling the 6.5 pH for coco out of my ass so I provided where I found that info, that’s all. I’m here to learn from my mistakes, not argue about something I know very little about...

I will look into the calmag issues. FYI, 6.5 is just my high-end guesstimate since I'm using the color chart on a General Hydroponics indicator solution bottle, so it may be a bit lower but it's in the yellow range. Guess I need a pH pen. Also, while cocoforcannabis recommends a max pH of 6.3...

They were under a T5 bulb.

Sure did, on this forum, the site you linked, and growweedeasy. The problem is that they all differ in the information they provide so it’s a bit of a guessing game and then ending up here seeking additional guidance.

Coco, sorry I forgot to mention that.

Tap. Average TDM of 134 ppm and EC of 282 us/cm after adjusting pH.

I transplanted from solo cups to 1 gallon fabric pots on 12/22. I also moved the plants into their grow tent under a 315 CMH with a fan blowing over them. The next day I had some brown spots on the first set of leaves, which I attributed to nutrient burn since I think I gave them too much...

Thanks, I will leave them alone and drop the light a bit more. Got it and will do, thank you.

These girls are almost two weeks old from planting. They are in Jiffy pellets in coco medium. I made a lighting mistake early and they stretched. They’ve been growing slower than expected but they are growing. There were a couple roots growing out the bottoms of the cups but I air pruned them...

Thanks so much for the feedback, will do as you suggested.

These just broke the surface yesterday, is the one on the right stretching too much already? There is a T8 light about 2 inches above its current height.

I have indeed, thanks! That site has been invaluable.

Hi there. New member, new grower. Currently planning my first grow using a 3x3 tent w/ CMH vertical. Just poking around and doing my due diligence while I build a shopping list. Great info here, looking forward to getting started.
