Top 1/4 Ok then I'm almost positive she's just overwaterred... I have been using like 1/4 strength nutes for seedlings, I think (250 ppm). AN sensi grow for coco a and B. I was advised by another reputable member to always use some nutes. And that not doing so it will disrupt cations in the coco.
Here's a pic right after I watered
Just started them all under 85 watts of cfls. I'm going to only feed the cal mag at 150 ppm, as I am certain I am supposed to. You would be the first person so far to tell me otherwise.
Under watering will cause that too. For seedlings you want to give them 200 to 400 ppm of nutrient solution because coco doesn't have anything in it except potassium. What's your ph at when you feed them?
That sounds about right.
No feeding nutes in coco for 2-3 weeks? U sure??
How is the drainage on ur solo cups? Ur in straight coco right. My memory isn't the best
Hmmm sounds like u have too drainage. I'm just wondering about this over watering theory. Everyone says u can't overwater coco. The coco itself when fully saturated still has 30%air or something along those lines so the perlite u added should help the air and drainage not hinder. I just hope the new babies don't end up like the last.
Did you flush the Coco and perlite, I don't grow in Coco but I read we're you're suppose to flush out Coco and some perlite contain nutes also, just a thought.
I heard or read something like that too. Not sure if it was about the coco bricks/blocks only. Or for all coco. I didn't use the bricks. I just bought a bag of it just like a bag of soil.Did you flush the Coco and perlite, I don't grow in Coco but I read we're you're suppose to flush out Coco and some perlite contain nutes also, just a thought.
Lol, I thought I remembered you saying that you did in your journal, I wasn't for sure.Oh yeah took me an hour maybe 2 to rise 1 bag perlite and 2 or 3 gallons of coco. I was a little OCD about it
As long as you have good drainage holes, over watering coco is very hard. When I transplant my seeds from the peat pellets I drench the coco and have never over watered. I have had my cups dry out on me and that was a bit nerve racking but never overwatered. I just drenched it again and everything was ok. You can over water coco if you don't have good drainage. People who do flood and drain with coco flood the tables 2 or more times a day with seedlings.
Wayyyy too much work for me. Lol. My lazy ass is just fine with the bagged stuff I have. I admire ur work ethic dabOh yeah took me an hour maybe 2 to rise 1 bag perlite and 2 or 3 gallons of coco. I was a little OCD about it
Ive been having to REALLLLY restrain myself with the watering. But Gloria isn't drooping at all leafs are growing straight out and perky. And after hours of reading the other day I found out you can over water but only when they are very young. I'm going to get a humidity gauge tonight. I'm worried it may be too high. I know temps are money, it's been awful humid though outside and that can have a huge effect on how much and how often to water.
Sometimes mother nature isn't on our side that's for sure.
