UPDATE.

Yesterday.


Today.

Browning has stopped. Yellowing is the same, pos a little greener
She had a full feed 2 days ago before i read everyones comments, didnt get any worse so i gave her a full feed again today.

White widow & Blue hash, yesterday.

Today.
Blue hash.

White widow, camera would only focus on the soil -.-

Good stuff.

So the solution to the problem was just riding it out. Either your mix was to hot or you overfed. If I'm doing everything basically by the book, I tend to stay the course. These things usually work themselves out. If I see it spreading past 2 leaves, I know I have a problem.

People get way too worked up and freaked out about the slightest yellowing, an extra day of "doing nothing" is usually all you need.

In my 5+ years I have never washed mine out before using either but I use a quality brand of coco (canna). Not saying you should, just never had to. Like you said about washing after using, its so cheap I tend to chuck it rather than re-use it.

Peace, enjoy the goodness of coco!

https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/743357-peepsight.html my journal, mine are in that stage as well. I've feed them pretty strong and seem to b doing ok .

UPDATE.

This has kinda turned into a journal now, i will stop updating around the switch to 12/12 then ill update everyone at the end


Yesterday, 29th.

White widow x2 (one has only just popped), Blue hash, Cotton candy.

Had to dig for the seed 2 days ago, noticed she didnt pop so put her back in & re-watered.
Dug for her again yesterday and saw that she has finally popped.. Just waiting for her to surface now


Today, 30th.
Starting to yellow again, browning is a little worse. Trying to get some Cal/mag supplements today.

Yesterday i notice the leaf tips on the second level had kinda lost their shine.. Had a matt spray look to them, if that makes sence?
Anyway theres the pic from today, leaves on both side curl up at the tips & are starting to dry up. (Just like that bottom set, without the yellowing)
Any ideas?

Sorry for the bluryness, Galaxy s2 loves to focus on the coco -.-

nice i also have some females at the almoste the exakt age as you in coco alsoe. They are looking good ! wich rh do u have throug veg ?

Someone may have mentioned this, I haven't looked through all the replies, just the original post. Things to keep in mind when growing in coco - when the plants are young, let the coco dry out before your next watering. This will encourage a more robust root system as they will have to search for more water. If you are not using coco specific nutrients, you MUST use cal-mag, it is essential as the properties of coco do not allow for it to "hold on" to any calcium or magnesium. Always monitor your pH and PPM for a more successful grow. I have been growing in coco for years, if you have anymore questions take a look at my grow journal (link in my signature) and ask there. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have

JB,
Contradictory info as always. Coco can be treated like soil or like a hydro media. The coco experts tend to use it as a hydro medium. Only you can chose how YOU are going to use it. But choose one and don't waffle. Coco is a complex medium and nobody will convince me it's good for newbies. I've seen too may threads with plants dying on coco to believe that.

I have to agree with you 100%. All the shitbi read and was told not to do while growing in coco was a lot of bogus info and waste of time.

UPDATE.

I think for sure i overfed the Cotton Candy.

The White Widow seed that popped has not grown a taproot..
Have watered again (last try)

Just purchased the dr90 so thinking of starting 2 more, either: Thunder Bud, Thunder Bud Haze or Strawberry diesel

The CC was is just being grown for clones, Probably going to give her to a friend insted (If i start 2 more)


Flodas, what do you mean witch RH do i have? Ive never been able to control my humidity, does its own thing..

Ego, i ordered my PH&PPM meters yesterday, just waiting for them to arrive & ill b on the case



Saafe

UPDATE.

Just water for the Cotton candy yesterday, full feed tomorrow.


Aftermath from overfeeding.


Blue hash.

White widow.

Man.. how to make this ez for u.. stop looking at ur plants every 5 min stop watering them until they dry get the ph right that is half ur problem there. when u feed nvr go full strength ggo half strength and stay there unless ur plants look hungry. Get the ph right..

i don't think your cotton candy is ready for full strength nutes, and you definitely shouldn't be watering it everyday. water based on weight as well as the dryness of the coco.

i like coco and haven't had any problems i would attribute to using it.
