70/30 coco/perlite
Megacrop 9-17-14 4g/gallon
Jungle Juice Micro 5-0-1 4mL/gallon
pH 5.8-6.0 ec 1.8 (tap water EC 0.15)
Approx 500-600W in 3'x4' tent space, 24-36" above plants
21-27°C RH 50-65%
Clones and from seed, 10+ different strains.
on occasion, I have a plant that goes thru a period in early veg where its growth seems to slow, the leaves droop and sometimes even show signs of nutrient problems (leaf discolouration). It always passes in a few weeks at most but once I'm sure pH and ec are good, I'm at a loss to understand what the issue is. The plants are kept at the edges of the grow area while young and moved into more direct light as they grow.
My only guess is too much love. I learned a little while back that new roots can easily be over watered which I thought couldn't happen in coco/perlite. Since then I've been careful to make sure the roots are established before watering them twice a day like the big girls. How far into the growth cycle are the roots still susceptible to being over watered? Any other ideas? I'll add a pic or two when I get a chance tonight.
