Plants not growing

[Skunksta]

My water has ec value 0,7ms. I read that it should be high levels of calmag, so do you think i still need to add calmag?

So as i said i use shogun but here is some idea how it works for ME.

I will soak my pots.
Before i put my seed in.
Now my nutes line calls for a starter but i wont pay for that im cheap.
So i just use A/B , water from my tap is hard water and 0.6 EC


0.5ml to L a/b
0.5ml to L calmag

Thats it right from seed but day 4/5 she is on recommended strength.

1ml to L a/b
0.5 to L Calmag

I will watch and wait and respond when i feel she/they need more.
Which is not long tbh.

Hope this helps some again this is my nutes line.
But never feed just water in coco NEVER unless for some strange reason you need to flush.
Which from my years in coco never really happens or needs doing unless there is a mistake.

I dont have calmag rn but I will take some from friend, i will do 0,5ml per l of coco a+b and 1ml per l of pure zym and power roots since they are just enzymes. Do you think i should water them today, since Regrowth think it could be overwatering?

If all you have been feeding is water.
Yes ASAP and leave it to dry some.
Move your light alittle closer and watch and wait is my advice.

@Bill284 come give this guy some of that great advice.

OK i will water and post some pics tomorrow if there will be some visible change

So far i wasnt bc guy from store told me not to and since my 3 crops died i listened to him, but i will today

 

[Aetheru]

It looks like they grew a little bit, but color of leaves is getting more brighter

 

[Newbgrower16]

Your light is to far away

Ive had issues in the past two where if u have stale air and not proper ventilation that can also happen. But deff look at the light first

What did you feed them my friend?

2 days ago 0,5 ml/l plagron coco a+b and 1ml/l of power roots and pure zym. Yesterday i went with 1ml/l of coco a+b since you guys told they had deficiency bc i didnt give nutes from beginning and its coco

Sorry coco needs fed ever day, everyday, everyday.
At exactly 5.8 ph.
At approximately 400 ppm right now and increasing about 50 ppm per week.

Well my water by itself has 0,7 ms so should i add on it 0,6 ms of nutrients?

 

[Aetheru]

Im not able to measured exactly on 5,8ph right now since i have only drops.

If your using tap water.
Grab a cheap drip tester.
Your get a good idea how much ph up or down
You might need after a few goes.


As said you really need your pH around the 6.0ph range.
And dont worry about what your tap water EC starts at - that of your meter.
No meter follow the recommended strength of the product your using.

PS. cant get a drip tester for a while get bottled water with the pH needed until you can.
Most will tell you on the side the pH in it.

So as you can see they started to grow but color is still bright. Do you think they still have some nutrients deficiency or they just need some time to recover?

They need nutrients every day my friend.
Every day for the rest of their life.
If you want a method that requires less work than soil might be better next time.
In fact you could uppot to soil.
Then you only need to feed every few days.
Otherwise you need a ph pen and a ppm meter.
5.8 ph feed every day.

Light is probably dimmed too low still as well. You never answered what you set the dimmer and height to.
I think you said you used some app to determine your ppfd... they aren't necessarily accurate.

 

[Aetheru]

Light is 40cm away from plants and i put it on 100%. I went back to viparspectra 100w since Mars hydro was creating temperature above 25C. I feed them everyday but problem is ec meter, i tried to calibrate it and in calibration solution its showing different value than it should even after calibration, guess i need new electrode. But from plagron feeding chart i can calculate that im giving them 0,6ms or 400ppm problem is im not able to gradually increases it by 50 every day as you told me because of ec meter and also my smaller measuring unit is 0,5ml so everything else is just guessing. Their chart is telling that first 2 weeks i should give them 2ml/l (400ppm) which im doing, do you know think i should increase to 2,5ml?

 

[Aetheru]

You can see here that difference if you increases 0,5ml is 0,2ms. I didnt gave them first 2 weeks nothing because i got fooled. Now im not sure if i should already move to 2,5ml/l or wait for them to get bigger

 

[Skunksta]

Dude feed them please as already said dont matter if you missed the first few weeks.
Feed them what the product asks for.
Your slowly sharving your ladies.
Coco is very different to soil and you got to get that out your head.
Look at bills or my grows every day they are feed with nutes.
Right from seed thats coco.
And if your not adding calmag there is another issue.

I feel as you are feeding them its more of a mag issue or pH now.
