I am currently experiencing some problems with my cannabis seedlings. I am growing in coco coir with perlite and am about 8 days in. I noticed my leaves started to droop and I am not sure how to continue with the plant. I need a diagnosis of the plant if anyone can help.

What type of container would you use to hold the runoff? I usually just dump the run off out once it fills up. I am also unsure of how dry I should let the coco get. I've been giving a about 1-2 regulation size shot cup of water per feeding. @Gemtree thank you for the insight.

Just let it dry out till you water it again usually takes a few days or more till the cup feels real light. It will be fine and perk back up when it dries out more.

I have a question about transplanting in coco coir. Do i flush the new coco coir and wet it a bit when transplanting from solo cup to 3 gallon smart pot? My last watering was a couple of days ago and watered with light nutrients. Do i have to add nutes to the new coco coir when transplanting? I would have messaged you but I am a noob and am still learning the ins and outs of this website lol.

The coco should be moist out of the bag. I just transplant then water a little around the base every few days until roots can establish themselves a bit. Yes you need to add nutes each watering and should be adding calmag until it builds up in the coco. What nutes are you using?

The coco was moist out the bag but it has dried up a lil in the bag since I did not seal the bag after opening. I am currently using general hydroponics right now and their cal mag. I am also kind of confused because I heard that you are suppose to plain water feed between nutrition feeds. Do mykonos really make the difference when transplanting as well? Thank you @Gemtree, I really appreciate the information. Do mykonos really make the difference when transplanting as well?

Myco helps but isn't necessary I use it most of the time. You're supposed to feed every water with coco and have 10% runoff to flush out salts. Lucas formula or modified lucas is good for coco I ran that for a while when I started. I mostly just run canna coco nutes now.

Just look like normal blemishes no worries. If the rust lookin spots get worse it could be ph. Keep it around 5.8 to 6.0

Thank you my guy. When do you usually flip them to flower? I know i germinated the seeds on 8/26 and got them in a solo cup at 8/28.

I let mine get 12 to 18 in before I flip is that a 3x3? Once roots are established they will grow a lot faster you can scrog or tie branches down too if you want to fill all that empty space and get more yield
