Hi iv recently started growing and am trying to learn a lot of things I wasn’t have much luck from seed so decided to get some clones and see how I go on when I got my clones transplanted them into about 1.5-2L pots one of the bottom fan leaves has started to turn yellow however it was already slightly yellow this seems to have got worse im growing in coco natural and feeding A&B (fed yesterday the 18th for the first time) used the A&B and a plant magic root stimulant I used in strengths of about 4ml in 4 litres of water to try and avoid over feeding am I doing everything correct? Thanks
 
Thanks for your fast reply I’ll do that now the environment is a 4ft by4ft by6ft grow tent went a little overboard haha I have 2 extractors in there temps currently running between 26-28 in the day and lights off about 20-22 degrees humidity around 40-50 percent I’ll get those pictures now also I’m under cfl I have a 250 and a 125w in there at the moment I am getting some more clones in with these till full some space within the next few days
 
As you can see it’s really only effecting one plant this leaf was already slightly yellow when I picked them up around 3-4 days ago

From what I understand, coco needs to be fed multiple times per day to 20% runoff. Fertigation.
Hopefully some coco guys will show up and help you out. @Roger A. Shrubber

Thank you so much from what iv read people are saying once a day till runoff maybe every 2 days not sure thanks for your comment tho
 
Growing in coco you really should have an EC meter to measure your feed levels.
Clones require higher feed than seedlings especially when taken from a mature plant.
If they are fully rooted and have upward growth I'd be feeding at least once a day but, you don't have to.
The more often you feed, the less it takes to get runoff.
I hope you're adjusting ph.
 
Thank you for your reply for the first 2 days of having them here I didn’t have my ph meter yet took ages to come my tds meter arrived today and my ph meter arrived yesterday I have just been toying about with it and the feed I used yesterday had a tds reading of around 297 I understand this is low I should have a reading of around a 1000ppm? Is this correct? And to achieve a higher ppm just add more of my root stim and A&B? So I’m gonna feed again tomorrow do my plants look healthy from the pics would you say and how’s my set up looking for a newbie?

Whoever is saying that doesn’t understand proper coco irrigation. I’ve grown in coco for over a decade, and run 4 irrigation intervals per lights on cycle, feed every time. Coco is a hydroponic medium and should be treated as such.

You also don’t have to eat 3 meals a day, you can survive on one meal a day, but you won’t be at optimum health.
 
thanks you is 4x really necessary I work 8 hour days so I’m out the house at 7 in the morning and back home at 5 so 3x would be very demanding if it’s absolutely necessary I will try and make the time also I’m using bottled mineral water adding my nutrients and adjusting ph and feeding could I use tap water to make this cheaper?

Feed 3x per day to runoff, make sure the runoff isn’t going back into the media following irrigation. EC @ 1.4 , ph @ 5.8

ha c'mon you can't be serious that such small cuts that have almost 0 roor system need more than a liter of water per day

horrible advise that coco doesnt even have petlite

that plant is def look at lower fan leaves
he's only using A+B perhaps lacking Mg

Again, coco is a hydroponic medium. You should set up a simple drip system on a timer. You can hand water, but it’s not ideal.
