Been a grower for a few years but looking to improve

[KannaKing420]

I've been growing for three or four years now but I'm currently looking to improve on my grow setup and things that I'm doing incorrectly. I am currently running two 5x5 tents in a 10x12 room I have one spider farmer se7000 in each tent along with carbon filter fans humidifiers all that. My current grow is One frostbanger auto from 42 fast buds, one BlackBerry moon rocks, and two rainbow sherbert from Barney's Farm I am running them in Coco Loco soil in 5 gallon fabric pots and I'm running with Roots organic grow and bloom terp tea, with RO water and running my pH about 6.2 to 6.5.

And I'm currently trying to figure out what's going on with the frostbanger auto this will probably be my last go at Autos I've just not had any luck with them

Hey kanna king welcome to the farm! I think you're just running into a situation where you're caught up being a victim of your chosen media. From what I've heard, Coco Loco is LIKE a soil but comes with all the nuances of coco coir. So that means you're subject to bad cation exchanges going on when the medium drops below optimum moisture levels, the coco starts grabbing cal and mag out of the soil and replacing it with potassium and sodium... pretty much makes the plant look exactly like yours is looking. Are you seeing any upward drift going on with your pH? That's a subtle background confirmation. The way out of it is rehydrate the medium SLOWLY and evenly, keep it always moist, and for a little while until things even out, supplement with a little bit of extra cal mag.

Normally when you're doing container growing in soil you want a wet/dry cycle. Coco and Coco rich blends should usually be kept moist, not given drybacks. You didn't do anything wrong per se, you're just using a medium that comes with nuances that have to be managed.

I have been top dressing my roots organic terp tea. So when I water next time I'm going to add some cal mag in my water

Im struggling to keep my humidity around 60 also . I have ordered a bigger humidifier so hopefully that helps

I have a couple of grows under my belt and I am still a little scared of using the stuff I was told that you cant treat it the same and I myself rely on the Dry-Back method....Maybe in a few more grows I will start using it.

I just have to break the Habit that you can't over water with that stuff
