Sounds good. Due to her size I would recommend starting at an EC of 1.0-1.2 this week, and bumping it up to around 1.6-1.8 when she starts to grow with some vigor.Ok update. So glad I got my ec meter, the problem has gone the opposite way, the newest leaves have turned dark green so at least it's still eating. Seems I massively overfed to compensate for the starvation. I'm gonna try feeding the coco at 1.5 ec, or 750ppm, sound about right guys? Or too high?

I feed at around 400ppm at that size, 750 is too high imo. Probably got n tox if they're dark green. Try to follow the ratio on the bottles but just cut them down equally. Like 1/4 strenght to start.Ok update. So glad I got my ec meter, the problem has gone the opposite way, the newest leaves have turned dark green so at least it's still eating.

Hey thanks guys, your help is massively appreciated. Yep n tox for sure, classic dark green with burned tips. I'll drop it down to 400ppm and see how she responds. Peace!

Hey guys, well seems things are brightening up, got a bit of nute burn as mentioned before but should gain control now that I finally got my ec meter. Got a bit of canoeing on the upper leaves but can't blame her with all the nute stress and drowning I've put her through. Growth seems to be speeding up again. Hopefully she won't hermie on me...oh and props @incogneato on the brown perlite thing, I started feeding smaller volume more frequently and coco is no longer staying saturated. Peace!

No doubt bro! Glad I could help. I learned that from one of the Og's here at the farm.Hey guys, well seems things are brightening up, got a bit of nute burn as mentioned before but should gain control now that I finally got my ec meter.

Shes already looking better. How far away are you keeping your light?View attachment 752966

My guess is the light is to close. I use led, and have grown some plants that stayed super short and dense like yours. I raised the light and lst’ed to start bushing it out. In your case you can’t raise the light sooo.....can you use a shallow pot to get the plant further from the light or something, just brainstorming:)subbed. PeaceGot a decent pic. Does the bushiness of my plant strike anyone as odd? Never grown from seed in coco before so not really sure what to expect...

Got a few inches left on height, but I'm almost maxed out. Got it in Tupperware at the moment, 14L tub, got it with low height in mind but was the shortest thing I could find. Too late to transplant, I can see through the bottom that the roots are too far developed to think about transplanting now. Will have to do my best...lst as early as possible

So guys if I'm understanding EC correctly, I measure my tap water first, if it reads 0.6 like mine for example, I just add nutes until it reaches desired EC?

I think I'm starting to understand why so many hydro heads use RO water, 0.0 EC. That's the thing, how are you supposed to know what minerals are actually in the tap water. It could be pure calcium for all I know...

That’s why I got one. I want total control of my grow. Very hard to do when one of my most important components (Water) is an unknown variable.I think I'm starting to understand why so many hydro heads use RO water, 0.0 EC.

I also found last run that I could never reach the max dose (5ml/L) without nute burning. Then again, I never had an ec meter so God knows what I was actually feeding them.

Well daily check reveals the new growth is looking nice and healthy. Growth has sped up, new leaves developing rapidly. Still dark green but no burn, should start lightening up a little now that I've downed the feed strength. I think she's gonna survive :D amazing how much easier it is with an ec meter, no more guessing games!

Think I'll have to stick to LST. To be fair, last run the light was 6 inches away by harvest time with no light burn. If I can keep her squat I think she'll be okay by the time flowering comes around...
