May be you can get the pots up off the floor of tent creat a air cap the will respond better not having cold roots . Regards OD .It seems to happen most grows and when I put them under the hps, the 5 small rooted clones in fabric pots are yellowing, the unrooted clones in the box are not so bad. Thought it could be a bit of over watering but starting to think could it just be light intensity? Thanks any info appreciated
So you reckon give them a big drink tomorrow to run off? The tops dry overnight but I haven't been giving them such a big run off since the root balls so small, and dont see the point watering every day I gave them a big soak to run off when I planted them and just been giving a tiny bit every couple days to make sure the rootball doesnt dry up
With a air gap you can probably get 5 degrees warmer than on cold surface I live way down south of nowhere in OZ even penguins where polar fleece down here .Yeah I might do that ay temps seem to be alg but unsure about at coldest point of night at 12pm it sits around 19C soil temp but I'd say will drop more than that
Cheers for the opinion I see people getting great results with watering every couple days but yeah I understand why I should water every day and will start doing so, my question is though why cant I have small plants in big pots when growing in coco? If supposedly you cant overwater since its aerated enough then surely the roots will be getting enough air regardless of the size? I just dont like up sizing plants into bigger pots since I've had success in the past growing this way and it's less work, thanksHey @needshelpguy : coco grower here.
The yellowing is normalish as the fuel in leaves is used and roots still shunting into new space.
But need to say that coco HAS to be watered everyday. No its or buts.
Unfortunately for you, it is the main characteristic of coco, ignore at your peril.
I would say IMO you have gone to a pot that's way too big. They will do well in a quarter of that size (for at least another 2 weeks or so) and will allow the new root structure to get established.
Just my opinion though folks.
The size of root ball on plant is small at this point in time it only need to deal with a smaller amount of soil or coco which is nice and fresh a small plant in a big amount of soil will slowly get to use up the larger amount but by this time it’s tied and lacking vitality if that makes sense , potting on a plant from its starting size up to the size you use could take 2 time you pot up each time the plant has used up the fresh soil or coco and has a better mass to take on the next bigger final pot or bag .Cheers for the opinion I see people getting great results with watering every couple days but yeah I understand why I should water every day and will start doing so, my question is though why cant I have small plants in big pots when growing in coco?

I get that but why would it matter as long as it's getting air? It's like planting a bigger plant in the ground it doesnt get starved of oxygen and will grow although you're not watering the whole ground if yah get me hahahThe size of root ball on plant is small at this point in time it only need to deal with a smaller amount of soil or coco which is nice and fresh a small plant in a big amount of soil will slowly get to use up the larger amount but by this time it’s tied and lacking vitality if that makes sense , potting on a plant from its starting size up to the size you use could take 2 time you pot up each time the plant has used up the fresh soil or coco and has a better mass to take on the next bigger final pot or bag .
why cant I have small plants in big pots
