Hey guys I was wondering if you can hook me up with some advice. I spent about 2-3 hours reading some info on what I think might be my problem so please bare with me and point me in the right direction if im mistaken. Ive had my clones for about a week, theyre in 1.75g pots packed in some canna coco and I believe I may have watered them too much. I got them at 8-9 weeks old and The first feeding with nutrients was tuesday of last week and then again on friday.
I followed the direction of my nutes and mixed up a gallon. The pH was high and shouldnt haven been used at all but with my inexperience I jumped the gun a little quick and was afraid my plants were going to die. For the first feeding I gave them about a cup each and then for the second feeding I gave them 2 cups each. After letting them sit for the weekend I notice the tips turned yellow so at the advice of my teacher in my grow class he suggested I flush my plants with 4 cups of water each @ 5.7 pH. I was going to pH the run off the following day but totally forgot about it and by the time I remembered to do it the water had evaporated. good news is, the yellowing seems to have stopped and they are starting to look green again except for some leafs that look like there is no hope, lol. So as of today a couple of my leaves are looking a little saggy and based on my research it could be 2 things, under feeding or over feeding.
I havent given them anything since sunday night (4 cups of water) and just checked the coco to see if it was still damp and it was, about a whole finger length deep it was still moist. Im going to let it dry out some more before I give it anything else. I read that the leaves could also be doin this from the lack of oxygen in the roots as well so I took a screw driver and poked 4 holes into the coco in each pot to help the roots out (I poked the holes along the edge of the pot, not to damage the roots). Now my question is if my plants improve and spring back up, and I hope they do, what should I do next? Should I feed them some more water and pH the run off to make sure the coco is ok, or feed them some nutes? How much nutes should I give them (cup sizes)? Heres an example of how some of them are looking. about 3 of them.
Also I have some leaves that looked dried out and dead, should I remove these or wait to see if they come back to life? I have 2 big fan leafs hanging over the edge of the pot and not sure if I should cut them off to help the plants focus more on the roots and new leafs.
any advice would help
.... also forgot to mention my temp is between 73-84 degrees and my humidity is around 35%-47%.
