When you get all this straight then reevaluate your watering habits and the plants needs for it.

I'm curious what you mean by "a coco, organic soil mix", coco and soil are typically watered very differently, I can only see mixing them causing issues for your grow depending on how much the proportions were. Typically coco is treated like hydro and not allowed to dry out completely while soil usually does best with a dry back between waterings.

Saw that too but the plants seem well established. But pretty unconventional and usually leads to problems. Let’s get the OPs environment corrected first before we move on to watering, the medium, feeding etc.

Yea, that mixed with the watering every 4-6 days and what appears to be them sitting in the runoff is what worries me..

That 4 to 6 days will probably turn to every 3 - 4 once the plants start transpiring correctly but we need the environment to support that.

Man had no idea cudnt mix and yes 100% have cox soil mix, stupid nubs!!!! Lol. I did it for soil water retention is all. Seems to be ok though. Guess need to figure out water levels for it to be better. Oh and since i watered and turned up temps def better already!! And man i have so much to learn....... thx all of u for the help.

So use straight coco? Thought that was only hydro type setups. Was using both to get benefits from soil and water retention from coco. Pls advise, but it this works.....

Def not sutting in run off. I do pour and some gets into tray but sucked up in an hr max. So do u just put pots on nothing let em run off then waste the nutes?? Def not being an ass really asking for next run!. Id like to get rid of the trays all together but then what? Do u let the run off into ur tent then clean it up??

Use one or the other, coco or soil but not combined. I don’t think you can do much about that without the corrective action being detrimental to the plant. Just mark it up as something learned. They are looking better and should improve a bit more.

Coco is coco. Takes a lot of watering. Most use drippers and salt based nutrients so I guess in that sense it’s leans more to hydro. I have never grown in coco nor do I want to. Too much work for my old ass. I grow in soil now. I have grown in hydroponics. Mostly nft and ebb&flow types.

As @freezeland2 was saying get the environment dialed in for sure first.

With the coco/soil setup you will really need to listen to your girls and feel pot weight to get a better watering routine down. If you watered them today give the pots a feel to see how heavy they, this can help you tell when they are ready or getting ready to be watered again as you will feel them get lighter and lighter.

As for the runoff you usually don't want them sitting in it for too long, typically if you are having a bunch of runoff you collect and dump it, many people feed it to their outdoor plants.
