Identify problem

Hard water (EC>0.8) your water is classed as normal not hard at ec04, as far as i have made out

So would you say I should add calmag to my solution?

i would give half strength just to see , always take little steps and a few days , some people think changes happen over night then add more and more , then they are in deep water . need to see full plants and pots so we can get a better look ,

light went out 2 hours ago. They have also been LSTd and FIMed

I’ve checked the resivour and the ph measured at 5.8 yesterday , it rose to 6.0 this morning but after a little stir it went back to 5.8. Is that enough fluctuations to cause my leaves to do that?

yeah you don’t have to water everyday! That’s why your having problems... newbs giving advice. Let that b dry out some and water the edges. I don’t care if it’s coco, soil, you need to grow a plant before you water it.... that is a sprout/ seedling. Baby plant...

 

[NuttyProfessor]

hmmmmm , not sure how that set up works , wouldn't fancy bottom feeding coco , i like to see run off, less chance of salts building and binding
Maybe someone else has and has used the same set up ,
I WILL WAIT AND SEE IF OTHERS CHIME IN ( shouting )

But doesn’t autopots feed it everyday?... the advice I had while buying the autopots was to top feed for 2 weeks until the roots establish then use the autopots resivour to bottom feed. This is why I’ve gone back to top feeding as I’m not sure if the roots have developed enough and the pots were just sat in water not being fed properly?

3+ weeks from clone. Vegging. Must be smoking some good shit to be tripping thinking they’re sprouts

We will get it figured out... what kind of light and how far is it? Yeah I would hand feed till you get em on a schedule... not everyday cuz those are big pots that will hold water for a long time.

I just woke up. Lol. Now get stupefied!

For real bro I think they just try to find their groove. Maybe don’t change your drip times you just adjust how much water at a time they get.?

I’m using 2x600w dimmed down to 400w each in a 4x4 loft tent. Lights are about 60cm away from the tops. I feed them about 1L every other day at the moment. They never feed to run off. The pots are bigger than I originally wanted but the 15l were out of stock when I was making the order. I want to get these autopots on as soon as I can so I don’t have to keep faffing around with them (busy guy) but I don’t want to starve them of oxygen if the roots aren’t sucking the trays up

is that a fan on the floor and is it an oscillating fan , does it swing the head from side to side or blow straight air , this can dry and taco leaves , if the damage and tacos are on the inner sides then its the fan with low humidity , you can turn your pots daily or raise the fan up to blow across them, if the taco is all over the plant then its something else doing that to your leaves ,
its just with the photo they look one sided damage

Using autopots buddy.. there is no drip timers or anything. It’s gravity fed

the floor fan isn’t switched on yet. That’s for when the scrog net is in there for undergrowth. I have an oscillating fan in the corner (not pictured) my humidity is low at 30-40% at the moment. Could that cause the leaves to droop and crinkle?

I think you can crank your lights 2 100% now.. maybe that’s what they want?

I didn’t plan on turning my lights on to 100% until mid-late flower? I can try giving them full power but would I see a noticeable change if that was indeed the problem?

 

[Enjoil]

That’s what I’m saying bro. You don’t want your plants sitting in water all the time. I don’t care what kind of pots or medium your in.

i need to think ill shout another coco grower , id be blaming the bottom feeding and the no run off , wet feet , i just see it more for soil , the humidity isn't the worst though the more air movement and fresh air in and old air out the better

@Bill284

 

[Stoneisland]

As a summary to this thread. I will now add a half dose of calmag, carry on top feeding for another week, 2L every 2 days and hit them will 1200w hps power. Thanks for the advice guys. I shall make updates with their recovery(I hope!). Anymore input is welcome!
