Why do they keep awarding us trophy points like were some kind of siamese twins
No, they are 1 gallon and @oldskol4evr suggested I keep them in that, as it makes it easy for controls (for beginners) and they are self-pruning? I think? He also hasn't seen the updated undershots.Are those roots coming out of your grow bag ?
That makes me a little nervous , never used that type of container...
I guess they " air prune" but my instinct would be to put them into even larger pots if the root growth is so agressive during this veg stage....
Did you say they are 5 gal ?
I see 5 gal is plenty big....
Go for it...
Thank you so much. I will print this out, put it in a sleeve and post it to my wall. I appreciate that very much.What kind of ppm meter did you get?
Can you take a pic of it?
Also your deficient in nitrogen and what looks to be early stages of magnesium, yellow tiger striped leaves is usually 9/10 magnesium, if you are growing in coco then you need to ALWAYS be feeding in between 5.8-6.2 PH, even if your coming out high for run off it doesnt matter, you still feed in at 6.0-6.2.
Use this as a guide for future reference on deficiencies! View attachment 937621
Once you get your ppm meter working make up your nutrients how you usually make it up PH to 6.0, then check with PPM meter... Your run off should never be higher then about 300-400ppm what you are feeding in! Use your standard feed as a template.
If your run off PPMs are over 300-400 ppms what you are feeding in then you are feeding them too much, they can only consume so much ppm worth of food when they are young!
Are they in one gal pots now ? That would be a good thing , i would be surprised if they were throwing roots out of a 5 gal pot at this early time....1 gallon pots on the way. :)
Also, stand by on meter type. I've turned in for the night, smoked up, and am completely snugged in with my dogs. Long story short, I'm not moving. Hahaha!What kind of ppm meter did you get?

Oh ok gotcha , yes he is correct ...No, they are 1 gallon and @oldskol4evr suggested I keep them in that, as it makes it easy for controls (for beginners) and they are self-pruning? I think? He also hasn't seen the updated undershots.
That's awesome. (Finally found the emojis that were right in front of my face) Haha!Good thing , as this will also help you adjust nutrients and get em stable for the next pot upgrade...
Those roots sure look happy...
Thank you so much. I will print this out, put it in a sleeve and post it to my wall. I appreciate that very much.
Thank you very much. Another chart to add to the wall. I was pondering the lime, never read up on sulfur, but I know @oldskol4evr had mentioned it before.They look a lot better! See how the leaves are up pointing to the light! That mean they are happy and watered good! You want to always see that! That actually how you can tell when to water your plants! They will go from being up when happy, then straight across when fine, and down or drooping when sad! Lol
As long as they never get browning leaves or burn then leaves and your plants will always tend to bounce back!
Its good that the run off is 6.0ph
But just be careful watering in that high of a ph continuously, you will eventually cause more issues later on, but as long as the run off is coming out ideal then no worries!
Try to shoot for 6.1-6.2 run off though. Use this image also as a guide for nutrient uptake and PH scaleView attachment 938338as you can see from the PH scale as the water (being your run off) becomes more acidic then Calcium and Magnesium taper down on the ability for your plant to viably uptake it
6.2 is Ideal run off for COCO, some people say 6.0, its which ever.
Another option you can do for future coco grows is mix in about 1 tablespoon of Dolomite Lime per gallon of coco and 1 Tablespoon of sulfur per gallon of coco, and this creates a natural PH buffer, as well as you will get cal-mag naturally from the LIME.
I learned that wonderful trick years ago and havent had to use CAL-MAG ever since!
Completely optional though!
Keep up the good work!
