Hmm righto. Definitely one for someone with more experience haha. I think I was a little higher than you with nutes early on, more around 1.3, but later found my base water was 0.7 so was under feeding. But used 1 ml a litre of rhizo all the way through veg. This was day 21 in 8 gal pots.They are getting a feed of 1.1ec canna coco a and b and yes also using rhizo. Plants look healthy no issues there. Just not seeing the roots really wrapping the pot like when others post photos of their roots. The plant in the two litre deffo needs potting up but just thought I’d see more roots considering how much she is drinking
Will never happen again haha. Just bought the kit from the hydro store but they're pretty old school, 'more roots more shoots' guys. I will be going to 2 or 3 gal fabrics.You are growing in coco and using 8 gallon pots which works out at 36litres right? Jesus lol couldn’t imagine using a pot that big.
I have roots don’t get me wrong, it’s just I’m not seeing the whole pot wrapped in roots like others seem to get.
Yeah I did pellets too. Mine are thin too. I didnt use silica until month and a half into veg.. Is there silica in yours? maybe it could use more? What's your humidity temp and ph?Started int pellets then into small pots, I messed up here IMO as I was to keen with watering. Was watering daily till run off from the start and have since read only to do that once a pot is rooted.
Anyway from the small pots I went into 2litres and when I potted up I had terrible roots again.
I am now in 6litre pots, plants look fine in terms of health. Just poor roots, I see people with roots completely wrapping the pot. Mine has a few white roots running down the pot. I’m letting the pots get a little light but certainly not bone dry, far from that. Then watering until run off. It’s only taking about a litre to get run off? Like I say I’m the past a 6litre pot would have two litres thrown at it. Only difference then is I was packing the coco down to much. 1 litre to get run off still doesn’t feel like much though for a pot that size?
Some plants have better roots than others tbh. I can’t believe I’m messing up with something so basic. Have done plenty of grows in coco but I always have felt my roots have been poor and it’s slowed down my veg time. I worked out that was because I was packing the coco down to much. Or so I thought lol last grow my mate gave me clones, I didn’t pack the coco down and watered a lot sooner than I usually would. Ended up with proper lovely roots then. This time round I’ve been watering sooner as I haven’t packed the coco down so not worried about over watering. Yet for some reason on some plants the roots just look terrible?
Would love someone to help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?
Whats your ph...you use microbes? silica? calmag? next time take the net off the jiffy pellets as well.My issue IMO is almost certainly to do with me and how I’m watering the coco. I know not to let the coco go bone dry. plus like I say I’ve done plenty of coco grows in the past.
I see canna themselves and others say treat the coco more like soil until the pot is rooted. by letting the pot get 50% light?
Then others say ignore that water until run off from the start regardless of the weight of the pot.
I have tried both and still feel like my roots aren’t looking good. I’m at the stage where after weeks of vegging I’m ready to bin the whole lot tbh. So got nothing to lose and open to ideas.
