Babbysitter blues.... I didnt do it .. promise

Hi

looking over a grow for someone j .. and well its not going so well ..this is two weeks into flower .. leaves have good colour all over but a sort of tatty look to them
pistols are barley forming and seem to be browning/yellowing off right away.. temps are good .. owners happy with the EC of the res and run off seems normal
water schedule has been increased remotely .. no noticable change after a few days ...any thoughts much appreaciated..

Someone will chime in but anybody that can answer will need medium, nutes, pH, runoff, light ppfd or lux and watering schedule.

EC is 1.5 in 1.2 out.. in coir .. using gt coco bloom. ..additives unkown. ph 6.0... around 300watts /50 %.. temps ..20c .. good ventilation ..watering schedule was every six hours ,, increased now ... they arnt dry .. and am not sure that was/is the problem.

They look like 2 or 3 litre pots

Surprised a coco grower has not shown up. Part of the issue is the name of the post
I run Organic soil and I have researched hydro soil stuff but not enough to make recommendations.
At this point you could navagate using the 3 horizontal bars and click on forums
Scroll down to diaries and look for the topic coco. Then look around for an active coco grower with a line of success growing and ask for help.
Good luck!

Too many unknowns. Unknown additives, unknown pot size. Is there any calmag in the mix? Could be a pheno thing too. A better pic would help.

Has grown at least 10 runs without issues previously with this strain in this space in coco .. wonder whats changed ? .. pots are definately smaller .. but nothing else to differant .

JIMKSI64 · May 29, 2025

My guess ( Organic guy ) is that a smaller pot needs fertigated more often than a larger pot. My 2nd guess is raising the rate like you said will sort out any issues. From what I know numbers look good and with the only change being the pot size......
When I asked for the rundown I forgot the " what is the last thing you did " the input of 10 grows same strain no problems we switched the pot size" would have helped.

Better pics will get a better diagnosis. 99% of that one is out of focus.

If the pot size has been reduced but the watering frequency is the same then the plants need to be watered more frequently. I would start there.

But something has clearly changed. Those are not the best pics, but I would even recommend looking really closely at the underside of the leaves, there may be a pest in there.

Thank you ... you have jogged an old memory that came to me sitting in the sun with a coffee this morning :D .. I used to manage a large green house .. our consultant an old guy once said I think we have russet mites .. he was right .. cant believe how I didnt twigg earlier ... will confirm later with a microscope but pretty sure its something pest related ... the owner did say last week this one plants looking a bit weird ... now its all

I’ve seen a few mites, but I’ve never seen them running around all over the place! The ones I’ve seen have always moved pretty slow! Maybe I’m just interpreting your post wrong! Good luck! You could look into ladybugs!

SmallspaceGrace · May 29, 2025

Ok maybe running was a bit of a stretch :D.. definatey moveing about doing bug stuff .. swear the little fkr gave me the finger to !
