Doing a single of Grape Ape

Ac infinity has i seem to thi k have upped the game on the way the fans connect to the tent pole now. Had one sitting around that I added to the other tent. So 2 oscillating fans in each so that should help. Yea ran into a problem with the Grape Ape. I mixed the nutes light when i started using the watering system.Think I may have figured it out fingers crossed

New growth looks better than the lower leaves, so I wouldn't panic on her yet. The old leaves look like they took the hit when the feed/watering got out of rhythm, but the center still has life.

Since she's in coco, going too light on the mix can show fast. Coco doesn't feed the plant like soil does, and it grabs calcium/magnesium early, so a tiny plant can look hungry or locked out even when you're trying to be gentle. I'd get back to a low EC but complete feed, pH around 5.8-6.0, and keep the drybacks reasonable. Not soaked all the time, but don't let coco turn into a dry brick either.

That watering ring is handy once the roots fill that pot, but right now the root ball is still small. I would hand water around the plant for a bit, maybe a little wider each time, until she grows into the bag. If the ring is wetting a big area the roots aren't using yet, it can leave the root zone uneven and slow.

The extra fan is good, just don't let it sit there blasting the seedling at close range. Gentle movement is plenty at this size. If the new growth keeps coming in cleaner, those ugly lowers are just history.

Ive set it up for 3 waterings/feedings a day now. I have it oscillating both of them. Next time i mix nutes I will make it the regular I didnt think of the whole coco thing I was just thinking of it being young.

That makes sense. Coco definitely likes frequent feedings, even when they're young, so bumping it up to three times a day should help. Keep an eye on them, they usually tell you pretty quickly if they're happy. I've been impressed with some of the cheaper options from The Seed Pharm too and they seem to perform above their price point.

When i did Grape Ape before I had it running every other hr at least 15 minutes and it never showed and bad signs or nothing just grew nice nugs
