dont sweat the runty ones some like to lag behind,youll know before long if one isnt worth the effortI’ll do that tomorrow, but out of 9 only two are doing bad. One mag def, the other with something like N deficiency. I’ll do just as you said and post back in a couple of days. thanks

the coco looks WAY to dryThese are the two plants that are doing bad, photos before the watering.
Gave them all, except the smallest, 1.5 ml canna coco A, and the same for B. Ec total: 1,1. See if they get better.
I’m thinking of going back to soil.
That was before watering, now their pitch blackthe coco looks WAY to dry
oh....okThat was before watering, now their pitch black
what is so hardPlants aren't doing well, the problem is spreading. They have calcium and mag lockout , no matter what I do it just gets worse. The problem is probably that coco drying out in the beginning.
I'll continue trying to help them, but I have a bad feeling. I will plant more tomorrow but in soil, can't be throwing money and time out the drain like this. I'll try again in the future, trying to fix that damn mistake.
Right now I need something more reliable.
Bought plangron light mix, extra perlite, mycoriziae, and clay pebbles for drainage. Will be using final pots of 11 liters. Canna terra and vega.
what is so hard
they just have to be watered every day period
with nutrients between 1.0-1.4ec
you are feeding the coco not the plant
when in coco you presume you are feeding the plant but infact you are filling the coco with nutrients, only when you have filled the coco to its capacity are the plants fed
you might be feeding at 150ppm Ca but the plant is only seeing 25ppm
but the solution is the way you treat the coco
watering to 15% runoff when the coco has dried to 25%
very simple once you get the routine down
i agree with wisher. im half way through my first coco grow. its awsome.Yes, i'm doing exactly how you said since you posted. Hope they will pick up:).
Unfortunately, everybody on my italian forum were telling me when the deficiency started to only water around the plant and let it dry.. Telling me that I was overwatering and it was causing deficiencies.
And others were telling me to stop the nutes.
Do you think in a week they can start picking up?

once a week I feed the coco EWC tea with +life (a root inoculant) a coenzyme and enzymesthats sum sick white roots there Wisher,nicely done
I do a similar weekly flush/innoculation.I use Recharge,MicrobeBrew,seaweed/kelp,humic,bvitamin,molasses not all that at once but some combination of them.Like you said they luv it most times a day or two later they are beamingonce a week I feed the coco EWC tea with +life (a root inoculant) a coenzyme and enzymes
this is what keep the roots nice and healthy
I consider it a weekly flush as I am adding carbon and microbes once a week and allowing them to get to work on the roots
I do this ever sunday
by tuesday they always have a growth spurt
do any of those people know how to grow in coco?
if you are using proper coco practices they will def pull through
if you are using soil practices as is the case all of your plants may fail
in order to see positive results it may take a week or so to show
but the effected leaves will not recover
I will post a video of an owner of a nutrient company talk about coco and soil
please be very mindful of what he states. These are my practices and they have never failed me ever
I start my seedling @ 1,5ec
and they get that the entire life
I water every day to runoff until the start to dry rapidly
then they get watered multiple times a day
and as what Bicky Studs stated
keep them heavy and watered
Alba I think the Canna nutes dont like distilled water and hows your tapwater?I use RO water but the 5th stage of the unit adds a few ppms after it strips the input water clean
