Soil in pots, Hydroponic, or Coco? Mothers Earth Coco + Perlite

PH In 5.8

What nutrient mix? Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco No EC or TDS needed

Indoor or Outdoor Indoor 4 x 4 Tent

Light system, size? T5 54watt for first 2 weeks… 250watt CFL Dual Spectrum for 3 Weeks… 600watt HPS til Finish

Temps; Day 75, Night 65-68

Humidity; Day, Night Depends on where i am in cycle 80-90 for first 2 weeks… 50-70 for 3-4 weeks and 40 for final phase

Ventilation system; 6inch Inline system running through a 6inch cool tube to help maintain even temps

AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier, As and when needed to manipulate humidity

Co2; Toying with the idea so any suggestions appreciated

I placed in root riot cubes on April 15th and on April 17th they sprouted

On April 19th I have moved them into 1 liter fabric pots using Bush Doctor Coco Loco

Then by May 1st they were showing signs of being poorly which prompted this post ty to @bob31 & @B345T

2 week old grow with serious issues

I have just started growing and am new to all this, but started with auto flowers after being told they would be easier to manage, i have 3 strains (Exodus Cheese, Gorrila Glue & Moby Dick) on the go and as stated in the heading they are just now 2 weeks old from seed (so until now no nutrients have been added, all they have had is ph’d water), they were brought on under a T5 and am just now ready to switch them to CFL, but have noticed a strange issue on all the plants leaves, they are not losi…

So after flushing… because either way nitrogen problem or ph problem I would of had to flush… they seemed to start doing much better

May 3rd looking much better

Which brings us to now… I have repotted them to bigger pots now with Mothers Earth Coco + Perlite

I’m not sure what is wrong with my lil mutant in the middle but she’s been funky since day one and still growing so we shall see, she might turn out to be my mighty power kick butt girl

Thanks again to everyone on this site with the useful knowledge people have!

wow looking good @AngelicSoul… when you never posted back I was starting to think they had given up on you…
but that last pic they looking awesome nice shade of green… smart play swapping from loco to a pure coco perlite mix that should do you some good…

Will follow this and wait for updates… but fair play they looking like happy lil girls now

my guess would be root exposed to light… maybe you planted seed upside down and when it was trying to right itself that tap root got exposed to light…

Happy Growing

[AngelicSoul]

Maybe …But Ima keep her pluggin along… at least her new leaves coming out now look Normal-ish LOL

Bushdoctor Coco Loco coco coir is ph’d at a 6.5-6.8 initially, that may have been your issue.

[B345T]

@Mrgreen3461 really?? that high damn glad we don’t get that stuff in the UK… no wonder @bob31 said @AngelicSoul had a PH issue… I just thought they looked too dark for babies and saw coco loco had loads of crap in it that could cause nitrogen overload for tiny little things… but flushing solved either issue and they are looking like happy plants now

[Mrgreen3461]

Yeah I personally like to use the coco loco medium myself, I’ve had less issues with it in my small pool of experience. And besides you can always lower the ph.

[B345T]

@Mrgreen3461 where was you when @AngelicSoul needed help?? sounds like you’d of been more helpful than me lmao… like you I have a limited grow time experience and have been lucky from the start so don’t change anything except feeds when looking for a cleaner green lol… has anyone tried the ILGM feeds?? would be interesting to have feedback on them

[AngelicSoul]

@Mrgreen3461 Guess that could explain why my 5.8 going in kept coming out at 6.5?

[Mrgreen3461]

For sure man, all you need to do is flush the soil with ph’d water and it will lower the ph of your medium. For every 1 gallon you have in your pot it’s 3-4 gallons of water to flush. At least that’s what I read on here. So if your running 5 gallon buckets like me that’s right around 15 gallons of ph’d water to level it out.
