Hi Kobe420,I would watch those coir type pots,they're really for outdoor gardening,they can suck the water away from your soil/plants.Once they get soaked like that it's a pain to get them anything like dry,fine if your gonna dig a big hole,stick a girl down and not have to worry about watering it. . . . . .as much.K you'd do as well to pop them into decent pots(plastic)maybe a bit of perlite/pebbles to help drainage,but yes mate it does look like over watering,i should bloody know cause i'm always doin it,no seriously,its easy to over love them.Hope you get some joy,Seamus

Hi Kobe,
It looks like they are coming back, I see a little curling and a nitrogen loss on the old growth but that is to be expected from stress. When I used that substrate to grow in I had to ppm test the overflow to check for nutrient buildup when I had a similar issue. After I flushed with a 25% nutrient solution that had a b12 hormone they turned a complete 180 within a week. I haven't used the nutes you listed but over feeding can lead to lockouts and slow growth. While they are so young, I only feed every 3rd time and water with excelsior root builder and rotate a couple other boosters in-between cycles to make a solid base. Once they take off you can increase the food based on the strains demand and usage. If you are letting them drink and dry out then giving them a through watering so they get that dry cycle you should be getting great results soon.

What seamus said about transplanting into a better mixture should help greatly.

Ok cool, for readaing the PH of the runoff, how will I know if nutrients are being built up?
