Hey guys I have been having some overwatering problems with a small plant in big pot I believe, which I'm assuming is where the droopyness is from? I'm still trying to figure out exactly how much an often to water. Now all my new growth is very light green/ yellow is this a deficiency or something else?

Coco perlite mix 70/30 feeding with h&g Cocos at 1.3 ec Atm, under a sf2000 led at 24"

It's so stressed it's flowering. Not good.

I just had a plant like that. Really thought it would turn around once I put it in ideal growing conditions for a few weeks. Nope.

You can't overwater coco/perlite. Water/feed daily.

You're in coco. Keep it moist.

That plant also looks like it's revegging. Was it a clone?

That's What I thought about not being able to over water coco perlite as I was watering the whole pot to runoff then they got droopy and guys on here said they where over watered an to back off on the water until they got bigger in that pot.
It is moist under the first cm of that dry coco.
Yes it is reveging it was a clone with pre flowers when I got them.
So just go back to feeding the whole pot to runoff you think

Ok I'll try going back to watering the whole pot to run off daily and see if it helps the only reason I stopped was I was told it was over watered and to back off, the pots don't dry out at all after a day is that still ok to hit them when the pot is still saturated? They are 7 gal pots but there a grate in the bottom so probaly closer to 6 gal, probaly a bit to big but it was what I had.

Not at all, I was just worried as the guys said shouldn't water the whole big pot to runoff with such a small plant that's why I looked over watered but I always thought that's how you water coco even if it's still quite wet the next day got them again don't let them sit in it
