Dry amendments in coco coir

[1way]

In the the name of understanding and as a new grower I wanted to try coco by with organics because I like the easy of it on the other side I do have synthetic nutes ff trio, athena blended, gh trio with koolbloom.

Yea, I agree. Stop watering until her leaves perk up. When the top inch of coco is completely dry, add water. Don't water on the stem, instead water at least 3 inches away from the base of her stem..make her roots seek out the moisture.

Give it a week, she should be happy again. Overwatering when they are young.is easy to do. they don't require much and usually you are providing a high humidity environment for her as a seedling, causing that water in her medium to last longer.... Don't water more than once a week when they are seedlings. You'd think they would grow faster if fed more, but infact you will stunt her growth if you continue to overwater.

If she is to close to the light, she could also respond this way. You said temp.is 76, that's at leaf level?

Make sure you research the difference between watering coco and soil! They are nothing alike! It’s hard to overwater Coco! Just from what I’ve seen and heard! Good luck!

Unless you've got worm castings in your dry amendment lineup your coco will not have the microbial life to break everything down and make it available to the plants. A small amount of compost would also do the trick but then if you use the synthetic nutes on top of that you're just working against yourself.

Pick one or the other and this will be a much smoother ride down the line. Im a synthetic guy because I'm to fidgety and impatient to wait for the soil to correct all the mistakes I make amending it lol.

That's what I was thinking. Organics are best with soil. I've used coir as a soil amendment. It works, but it isn't the only amendment. I've seen debates about whether organics and synthetics can be used together. Some say it's okay, while others say it's not.

It's also best to pick one and learn how to grow with it. Other methods can be tried in future grows.

Oh I'm not using both for me its one or the other I put them on the self watering base to early its straight organic 5 gallon pot using 5 tablespoons dr earth veg 2 tablespoons all purpose and 3 tablespoons flower girl 1 cup worm castings I also use ff microbe silica cal-mag, bio Ag humic acid I started to go synthetic but wanted to try something different I like to call myself a student of the game I also know that I can't get to where I need to be without failure now when I grow in soil with organics its sweet they are all autos that's all I want to grow for now so if she hasn't recovered by the end of the week I'm just gone pull her
