New guy needs help

[Timmy711]

I got some clones and they come on very wet rock wool and had loads of routes showing , I put them in cocco and purlite which I pre soaked a little .
4 days on and lower leaves are going yellow starting at the tips then the main part of leaf .
I not feed them yet as cocco still damp under the surface .

Pls help . I can add pics of need be

 

[PeytonManning]

Pictures will help. Have you been checking the pH? They might be needing nutes since they are rooted clones

 

[Timmy711]

I have not checked the ph as yet but soaked the cocco b4 I potted them . My ph tester is a add the water to ph solution . How would I Go about testing the soil ? And how do I add a pic

 

[PeytonManning]

You properly pH the water before you give it to plants. Same with nutes. PH imbalance can lead to lockout, which can kill a plant pretty quick.

To upload photos, look near top of screen at gallery tab, there's a link to upload photos there

 

[Timmy711]

I did ph test water after adding nutrients ( when soaked cocco before use

 

[Timmy711]

Should I feed them ?

 

[PeytonManning]

Hard to say without seeing them, but they probably do need nutes.

 

[Timmy711]

I have tried to load pics and it says it's timed out . So will it not be worse to feed even the cocco is wet ? Or not harm
Them ?

I would say that if they are just fading to yellow (no brown at tips or edges) you could try 1/4 strength feeding and watch - soil takes a little while to see results so don't expect too much to change right away as soiless mix takes about 5 days to show symptoms or improvement of nutrient changes. Also, did you rinse your coco well before using?

 

[Timmy711]

I didn't rinse the cocco at all
I just flushed its with ph tested wares then water n nuts day before I potted them . And some of the tips are brown just .
Will it harm them to o 1/4 feed n flush as cocco is already damp

 

[Timmy711]

Can I email someone some pics as no luck loading them
On here

 

[Timmy711]

Also the stems look red

 

[budnoob2]

coco has a lot of salts if not thoroughly rinsed. I'd try transplanting into properly rinsed coco and perlite with ph adjusted water with no nutes and then add 1/4 strength nutes after transplant shock recovery. if you have myco or a good root inoculate of some sort I'd use those for the transplant as well. in lieu of transplant you could also try flushing like crazy but not sure how effective that would be - if you have a PPM meter I'd check the runoff water to determine if there is too much salt in the mixture before doing anything.

 

[Timmy711]

Do I litraly wash the cocco in water ? .... I flushed the cocco with few ltrs of water

 

[budnoob2]

yeah, wash and then flush with ph adjusted water is recommended.
