Hey all, this is my first grow, just wanted to say thanks for all the work you guys do helping new growers out. I'm growing two clones (originally seeded in little rock wool cubes it looks like) in coco coir, specifically the pre-hydrated canna coco solution, in 5 gallon equiv air pots. I'm doing about a 60/40 coco/perlite ratio, but I noticed that my coco isn't draining at all - roughly 40 hours after the first watering with half-strength nutes there hadn't really been much drainage, I'd say the coco was wet up to my first knuckle. The plants were droopy and dark when I got them but otherwise seemed all right, but today I noticed yellowing on the tips of the leaves, and I didn't want to overwater them but I also didn't want them sitting in the nutes and burning so I just gave them some 5.9 ph'd water. Growing under an advanced led 100w that I raised up a bit after I noticed them burning. I haven't been able to check the ec of the runoff since there hasn't been any - I would really appreciate any advice on what to do to get the coco to drain, this doesn't seem normal from the vids I've seen, looks almost more like soil. Thanks!
