I have 5 plants with some soil problems early on, transplanted to coco about 2 weeks ago and they all became healthy and grew like crazy!

4 are fine (except for 2 runts) one of the larger ones has started to have twisted top growth as well as yellow and brown marks on the leaves, this has been happening for about 4 days.image.jpgThis first pis was 2 days ago as was the shot of all 5 plants.image.jpgThe rest were taken today. image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
I am feeding with canna A&B nutes at about .85 EC, the PH was fluctuating but made a large batch and now they get 5.9 ph .85 ec twice a day watering untill 25% run off on an 18/6 250w light.

Any one have experience with this?
My grow is called GROWIN UP. My first grow. if any one wants to have a closer look to see what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!!

You started to feed to early and are using to much nutrients. there is the Germination stage (1-7 days) and then the Seedling Stage (1-2 weeks) the only thing to feed while in them stages is h2o and a good root stimulator, in week 3 start feed nutrient but at 1/4 or 1/8 the directed amounts. Now flush plant for one week and re-adjust your nutrients. The less you transplant the better off you are because of stress on plant

I had them in soil for a while and they wer going real badlyimage.jpgStarving fluro green and eating them selves.

Once I transplanted and started giving nutes they shot up.

Wouldn't the smaller ones be suffering from to much nutes instead of one of the larger ones?

It was the 24th of June that they sprouted so they are about 5 weeks now. And 2 weeks in coco. That shot above was at about 3 weeks.


Thanks for the reply.

Right so i have changed me set up to a vertical which was always what I was planning on.

This way i can have the affected plants well away from my healthy ones.

Oh yeah an update is the leaves are still bad but has now spread to on of the smaller plants on 1 leaf ( kicker is that its the same strain as the already affected one)

So 2 thing as I'm doing is separated my plants showing symtoms and dropped the EC to .7.
I can't do much more due to being away at work and my girl looking after them.
Ill update any new news
( let me know if you have any bright ideas)

That plant looks well ll into veg state to me. Flush with a .4 ec (+3x amount of water / container size) and let your pots dry out until they feel kinda light.

(Cant tell how big those are... are they in pots or little plugs?? lol)


The new growth should pick up and you can slowly raise your ec .2 or so per feeding.

New growth might be kinda light at first but if your ph is good they will take the nitrogen they need from those damaged fan leaves until they have recovered.
