How Are These Looking To You Pros?

Here they are today. 2/9 plants popped 2/14. 2/25 plants popped 2/28. Flushed with Coco Kleanse today and planning to transplant the first 5 but it sounds like I should transplant all of them to the 1 gallon smart pots. Agree?

I was at a loss for this Coco Kleanse - never heard of it. Will likely forget it just as fast. Because I think it is a bad idea - anything that claims to clear all nutrients, including cations will sour my coco. Coco ( to be properly buffered ) needs a surplus (to a degree) of calcium cations.

So if things are slow in coco, you are probably missing a root inoculate. Coco is a sterile medium so every element ( yo, microbes ) needs an invitation. I have used various ( great white, canna rhizotonic ) and get similar results. You can use less once you have the desired root mass. If you are growing in coco and don't see lots of nice white roots, you are doing something... well, wrong.

When you de-pot, take a look at the roots. If they haven't like engaged most of the media, larger pots are not your answer. You got some other thing. A too big of a pot in coco has its own problems.

So, let me assume the roots are puny and not developed. Put it back and feed light with a root inoculate. When it comes to increasing feeding, press the pedal lightly.

I totally agree...i use route 66 my whole grow...bigger roots equal bigger plants...no doubt...every feed i throw 7ml n per gal

And i truly think the only thing u did wrong was keep in netcups on flat surface..water/soil...u need them in something brother.they need to hang and searxh for water.

not to b a nay say but it does wrk...idk bout that particular brand but "flora kleen" wrks.use it everytime last 5days(dwc).smooth as ice after its cured..
 
I think I have diagnosed the problem and want to thank everyone greatly for there input. Muchos gracias.

Tested my runoff. First generation plants presented above had super low pH runoff and PPM. I have 400-500ppm between CalMag and Soul GROW and GROW-N and my pH going in is 5.8-6.1. Coming out sub 5 as low as 3.0. Clearly this must be the explanation for my stunted growth as my nutes are locked out and likely fucking up my science. Flushed with Kleanse (3ml/gal) for three plants at a pH of about 6.2 and another two plants with Soul Infinity at (5ml/gal) with a pH of 6. All the runoff got up to 5.5 - 6.7 and I know I need to pull the runoff over 6.2 down which I'll focus on over the next week once they dry out but I'll be testing in and out on a regular basis.
 
i dont know if this is useful or not. but this is what i was taught.
also i cap at 1200 ppm for ME. to each their own.

week 1 - 300 - 400 ppm base and additives.
week 2- 500
week 3 600
week 4 700

flower
week 1- 800-900
week 2 1000-1100
week 3 1200
week 4 1200
week 5 1200
week 6 1200 (if ur flowering time is longer)
week 6 900-1000 (if ur flowering time is shorter)
week 7 800-900
week 8 flush
week 9 flush.
