Multiple Problems In Coco (first Time Growing)

You will still remove the salt. I just don’t think a raised pot would remove more salt than an unraised pot. The water movement is what is removing the salt buildup. With that being said though, I picked up 6 of these at my local grow store for my fabric pots. They should allow air all around the pot leading to more O2 in the root zone.

the designer of the smartpot redesigned it as the 'airpot' because of the stagnant water sitting in the bottom of the fabric pots. the airpot has a base that looks like your stands but they are made of a egg crate looking plastic that routes the roots for pruning to holes and has a raised bottom for that air gap under it.

A couple things didnt add up to me i only read the 1st few post.
1- 16/6 light hours?? That only = 22hrs lol,
Light hours can massively affect growth personally i use 24hr veg time it takes me 4 weeks from a rooted cutting to grow a single plant 5 foot by 5 foot. For a 2 month veg time at the size there is something very very very wrong.

I skimmed through most of the replies in the post, but from what I'm seeing in your original pics you could probably benefit from utilizing a VPD chart. High temps aren't necessarily the. End of the world so long as you have proper circulation in your room/area and your humidity is in line with the temps to create a comfortable environment for the plants. Otherwise your stomata will close up and photosynthesis will slow to a crawl, not only affecting growth up top but also leaving excess mineral buildup in the rhizosphere which can lead to a whole bunch of other problems relating to toxicity

So many variables in Coco. Ph, ppl, water. The purple tip is nutrient deficiency. Salt is also big issue as most coco is not truly triple rinsed. I've grown coco for long time and found Rio Coco pcm open top bags is only way to go. 5 times ringed, sterilized and tested for bacteria. This takes out lots of variables. It can only be bought online which is only down side. It took me a while to find after watching BC tweeds. I tried company but they don't sell to public. It's totally worth it for so many reasons, it's hard to put in one post. Here's pic of my room

So wait. Your room is full of plants maybe 1-2 weeks into flowering and then you pull out that pic?

We've run through a lot of different coco companies and I will definitely attest to issues with consistency when it comes to cleanliness and stability. The Grow It! Coco that Hydrofarm distributes is the most cost effective clean product that we've come across that can keep up with our volume needs
