First official grow

Do they look hot..whats causing side of leaves to curl upwards.

What could be happening is because you are watering so little, you are not getting capillary action through the medium and so the little part you have been getting wet is already depleted of its nutes.

I say just try drenching it once to runoff if you have not done that in a while. Additional nutes totally optional but prob not needed if what I suspect is right.

He planted the same day as me in the same mix. The only difference is I don't water daily and I use different light. I think its the red diodes not allowing the light to be moved closer.

I got the light a too close before backing off a bit. But they recovered from the transplant and are goin good again. I will go to 12-12 next week.

I think the watering might be the difference, not the light.

I will be testing my ideas with a new set of photos in a few weeks. I'm just explaining my reasoning.

I'll water until it runs off tonight and let it dry out. I used mykos when I planted the seeds. Do you guys think that is what's causing my issues, roots using more than normal nutrients.

If I am right when I say you haven't watered to runoff lately, I think that will help a lot.

My guess is too little, not too much nutrients. I believe the mykos helps w root bacteria and fungus by symbiosis. Should have no bearing on nutes beyond uptake via root health.

I bet if you water to runoff today, you will look tomorrow morning and your plants will be happier.

I’d error on the side of caution when letting coco dry up. You may encounter some issue if you let it dry out often. Just my $.02

I just watered until I got runoff. That's probably the problem.@Milson when I brought up the mykos I was saying that because it helps the plants absorb more nutrients which would cause the soil to be depleted of nutrients faster. It was just a thought

Ah, that makes sense. It could play a factor. I really don't know. But I think the larger factor is as you suggest. I look forward to seeing the plant next!

I decided to top her this morning at the 5th node

Like 24 hours ago.

With like 16 hours of more water.

See a difference in the texture of the leaves?

They've gotten bigger and the tips look better. The leaves are still curling funky on the smaller plant

 

[stl_rock_guy]

I also lowered my light to where they are getting 14k

Yeah, I'd keep an eye on that for progression but otherwise leaf texture, color, and what new growth looks like are most important. Looking good!
