Oops. Sorry. Coco is great to grow in. I’d always recommend soil for a first time grower as it’s a bit more forgiving. I have no experience growing in coco as of yet. Happy grows.I bought it because it was highly recommended for growing. It was ridiculous In price. Also I’m a woman. Growing weed next to my veggies. Just one little plant.
your local hydroponic growing store will help with what nutrients they have that will be good for you.
Is that a Dark Heart Magic Melon? If so pour about 10lbs of nutes on it. I can’t keep mine from suck down 20 leaves a day. (It's just so dang bushy I don’t care.)
Yes! It is Dark Heart Magic Melon. Can you tell me what type of nutes? What brand and where To get? I put some liquid organic miracle grow that mixed with the watering yesterday. What do you mean by suck down 20 leaves a day?
I wish I knew. It will take a green leave and suck it yellow in about 2 days. And I’m not talking fading, I mean the leaves turn 100% bright yellow. I haven’t been able to figure it out in months. Dozens every day. But mine is so bushy (I had cloned it about 20 times) that it hasn’t become an issue. Most assuredly yours needs feeding. This is where I would normally say, use any balanced fertilizer, but I don’t have a clue what's going on with this plant. But it’s a nutrient issue, not fungus. I’ll post some pics tomorrow.
Like this? I’m going to try less light.
Yes. I actually don’t get a ton of the brown dead look as my leaf will go from bright green, to bright yellow (but still look completely normal besides the color), to 100% shriveled up and dead in a few days. I think this may just be the hungriest plant ever.
I think thats your problem, 90-100° heat cooks the roots in a bucket grow. Keep the container shaded. A wet towel wrap will help cool the coco.
100 degrees is not the problem mine areoutdoor in 10 g pots we have had over 100 degrees for a week straight.plant r loving it. More nutes or cal mag plus iron feeding may help.
You have two plants that have been outdoors for two weeks, what 8” high? On a 100° day the bucket temp easily reaches 125° and higher. Pour yourself a nice cold glass of STFU!
Another problem with coco is salt. It needs to be thoroughly rinsed before use since its processed with seawater. Not a fan but there are a lot of coco growers here to help you more.I bought it because it was highly recommended for growing. It was ridiculous In price. Also I’m a woman
In regular gardening yellowing can happen on the under Side from lack of sun. It’s normal.
Wow what a gorgeous monster! Lol
Yeah I’ve actually been leaning towards that as the problem myself. I’ve vacillated between over feeding and under feeding (along with a Florakleen thrown in for good measure) over the last couple months, pretty much with little change. It makes sense as it always the inner leaves (both big and small) which aren’t getting much light at all. The fact that the little leaves yellowed (as opposed to just the larger fan) is also a indication that you may be right.
I figured out mine. My ph meter came. My tap water is at 8 so I am getting magnese deficient. I have a ph down solution coming as well as some better fertilizer, I read 6 ph water will cure it. I’m going to move from the 5 gal to a 25 bag on a lifted rack with wheels. It’s seems a bit happier with a little less light since we had some days over 100. I didn’t realize it was so tricky!
The “it's a cal/mag deficiency” is almost a running joke. It seems to be the internet’s favorite cannabis cure (and probably wrong 99% of the time as pretty much all decent frets come with both). But if you’re giving your tomatoes and squash a epson salt snack, you can do the same for your Magic Melon for a quick Mg boost. (1/2 gallon is only a couple bucks at most box pharmacies). I'd guess that just getting some food will go a long way to improving your situation.
I picked it up at a dispensary in San Jose California.
