Looks like you’re pushing the nutes pretty hard and some heat issues. Have you been testing the run off and feeding daily to ample run off? Grow space temps/RH and light height above canopy? :love_you_gesture:

Continuing the discussion from Dyin seedling:

So its about a week later and i see no difference Help!!! what should i do ?? I let it dry out for about 3-4 days because it looked overwatered then feed it at 5.8 Ph . Why do the leaves look like that ??

You should only be giving a few teaspoons of water, around the edge of the cup, every day to a plant that size. You’re in coco so it has to be watered every day, and fed every day. Are you pH’ing before or after you add nutes to your water?

Did you ever get a TDS meter? How are you testing input Water pH? What is your input Water? Tap, RO? Not to mention in Coco the substrate is inert, so you need to supply it with nutrients if you aren’t already.

Ive been giving 2 tsp on big bloom and grow big

Got ya. I’m not sure about how to use those nutrients so I’m not sure if that’s good or not…

You might determine if the pH of the runoff is within tolerance. Many nutrients may never make it to your plants if the pH is out of balance.

If it is correct, from the looks of the photos there’s a gap in the nutrients provided vs what the plant wants. I would attempt to determine if the 3 primary, 3 secondary and 7 trace minerals are in those bottles. N-P-K fertilizers alone cannot fulfill plant requirements. In coir you have to provide everything.

I feel for you freind :sweat:
Idk anything about coco :confused:

Is this your first grow or first time in coco?

What brand of coco, you may have amended coco that’s has nutrients preloaded and need water only for 4-5 weeks. You can water more than 1tblsp at their age. I would go 1/2 a solo cup watered in a ring 6” away from the base of the plant. That’ll get those roots spreading out searching for the water creating deeper and stronger roots. Coco should be watered or fed daily and around the 4th week to run off, the Sour it about time to feed nutrients if it’s a amended coco :love_you_gesture:

Coco is great for growing. I believe myself all new users should use coco even tho it needs more attention for watering purposes. If u run into a lockout issue or a deficiency it’s super easy to flush out and fix where as soil is nothing like that. I loved the results from ffof first grow but kept seeing all the looks and rapid growth from the coco users so I tried coco and I won’t switch back.

If that is coco u want the whole pot to be wet not dry out depending on the coco of coco u wanna treat it as soil I believe but coco is not supposed to dry out as it will cause u all kinds of issues even when I plant my seed in a 7 in gallon pot to start o soak the whole pot with some runoff Everytime it gets watered. Not in saying when small it needs it daily as u can start off by watering one day and waiting 2 3 or 4 days til I see the coco on the top layer start to get any dry spots then feed her again. U need to make sure the pH is adjusted as well before u feed the pla t. The wrong pH will cause u nothing but lockouts and issues. Good luck.
