Week 2 : What symptoms is this?

[jaynewbie]

Hi team,

i'm hitting my 2nd week for my babies, i had issue last 2 days when the new leaf was turning yellow hence i flushed it with pH 6.0 water and before this the coco pH was 7. Upon flushing, the pH dropped to 6.4. But starting yesterday i realized the edge of the leafs are like below.
Can i get the experts advise?

Coco pH 6.4
Humidity 50-60%
Lights 18/6

Now i can't do anything yet because the coco is still a little damp, please assist me T_T

Your ph should be 6 or less. Water daily with weak nutrients to the point of runoff. Don't use plain water. Coco doesn't need to dry like soil.

We discussed this already, right..

Are u feeding daily, till runnoff
1/4 strength nutes

Coco pH dosent matter, it's yer nute mix pH that's important

I'm still trying to bring down the coco pH , but still i'm waiting for my pH meter to arrive then i can gauge the water.

And stop calling it SOIL...lol

It's not soil

My life savior, i'm still trying to understand the 1/4 strength nutes . This is what i got from the chart

Sorry boss, i'm still learning. I'm trying to overwrite my head it's not soil but coco .
Forgive me T_T

Take what it calls for

Divide that by 4

Add that per liter

Or

Add what it says per liter to a gallon of water

Then water the plants with that, till runoff

Okay bare with me , my maths ain't good.

So now my plant is in growing stage.
Technically 3mL per litre of grow and 1mL per litre of bloom.

So technically it's 3+1mL for 2 litre.

So if I were to use 1 litre for each plant,
Hence it would be 1.5 + 0.5 ml for 1 litre?
So if i would divide it by 4 for per litre.

0.38-0.4+0.12 per litre? Is that correct?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

No it's not

It's still a seedling

Start low

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Also

Don't assume what each plant needs, yer over thinking

Mix up a gallon of nutes, water a plant till runoff, water the next
Save the rest till tomorrow

 

[jaynewbie]

From the chart, should i follow the 1st true leaves then ?

If yes, 1.5+1 per 2 litre
Hence if it's a litre, 0.75 grow+ 0.5ml bloom.
Divide it by 4.

0.18-0.2 grow + 0.125 bloom per litre?

Oh, i can keep the mixed nutes for tomorrow? Crap , i read from another forum it will cause mold and etc.

Not for a day.. just mix it good next day, and flush the jug each time u mix more

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Do u have a gallon jug

Thanks for pointing my mistake. Really appreciate it.
Can i use this chart instead because it goes by week for newbie like me? So i know when to gauge my stage of plant.
Currently, i have floranova grow + bloom + calimagic.
Today i officially entered week 3.

So in this late growth ? the late growth chart 5ml of floralnova grow /4 + 2.5ml of calimagic / 4 per gallon?

 

[jaynewbie]

Do u have a gallon jug

Yes, i just bought it from a convenient shop.
Filled it up and ready to go

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Let Me get some coffee...looks like I'll need it...lol

Really appreciate it brother.

Heres a good chart for you to go by. Use the Hydroponic (left) side numbers since your in coco. Should be putting in around 5.5-5.8.
As far as watering goes, I recommend reading Emilyas post down in my signature. Lots of good info there.
