First time grower in coco I thought I was over watering it……

[Ctsbestsmoke]

But now I think I’m letting dry too much. Need any help these are all autos as I wanted to try autos and see what I could learn from them, but have been having nothing but problems. I’m using drip nutrients don’t ask why that’s what the guys at the grow store said would be easiest. Any advice would be helpful thanks. Using box style with fans and big bulbs full spec led from 2020 budgrower full tent. First time using it since I didn’t wanna start growing until I knew I would have the time, becaue when I do something I give it everything I got!! Glad I chose autos because the light leaks in this thing is horrible lol straight trash. Have a gorilla 5x5 and kindled x750 coming in.Also any opinions on best coco to use and best nutrients. Also having a hard time with watering because the weight test to me isn’t working. Maybe I should get a scale? Also I don’t know how much water I should be adding at different stages because every where you look they don’t tell you. Any links are appreciated as well. Thanks for your time in advance mean the world to me.

The droop in the leaves is a sign, how long has it been drying out? How "Heavy" is your planter, light or heavy? If heavy, let it dry back some more. Someone else will chime in but, lift you planter daily to judge how much water has drained.SS

Is there any perlite with your mix or just straight coco? Looks over watered for sure. What’s the temps/rh? Maybe it’s not drying out fast enough bc of the temps. I don’t grow hydro any more so I won’t be able to help you on the latest nutrients and media but I’m sure you’ll have a lot of people to help you there.

HOW TO WATER COCO FOR BEST RESULTS.

Ok writing this cause i see this issue often and rather have a thread to link than explain this each time. This is not my work but a collection of info from many members here and I have put into practice myself. So first off COCO is NOT soil. For best results we want to keep it saturated...

Not a coco grower but gonna leave this here. Its a good read.

Honestly a plant that size in that pot should be getting fed/watered every day, if that's coco in the pot.

It could even possibly be underwatered judging by the stems on the leaves also drooping aswell.

How often have you been watering, and is there runoff when you do?

 

[Ctsbestsmoke]

So there’s been no run off the pot sucks I had to poke holes in the bottom they are light right now was gonna flush them. I’ve been watering once every day or once every two days. Temps are 77 during the day 71 at night.

There is perlite 70/30 temps are 77 during the day 71 at night but I haven’t been getting run off due to the stupid pot not have proper drain holes they have them on the bottom but the sides.

They are light but I think the problem is the pot drainage hole are on the side the pot just sucks I think I’m gonna flush them out with straight ph 5.8 water today and see what they do?

So it’s 70/30 coco perlite but the drainage sucks on the pot they are on the sides of the pot I poked a bunch of holes in the bottom last night was thinking about giving her a flush today and see how she bounces back?

That might be the cause. Maybe it was staying saturated. Hopefully the extra holes will help

In hoping do you think I should flush it? If so how much water should I flush it with? All six plants are kinda looking the same.

Also should the flush have ca-mg in it if so how much per gallon?

I won’t be able to help with that. I don’t grow hydro any more and when I did I used rock wool cubes and had a ebb n flow watering system. Never grew in coco. I’m sure someone will chime in and help answer your questions

That’s right man, mine too. I’ll never stop to much love for this plant
That very well good be it too. I know some guys that feed twice a day with the 70/30 mix but don’t take my word on it. I haven’t done hydro for awhile. I’m a soil grower now

 

[Ganjadad]

Maybe @Aqua Man or @Enforcer will be able to help you with this. They are just to name a couple of really great growers

Usually 1/4 strength nutes when doing a flush
