Ph 6.0, light feed, 216w t5. Coco perlite mix.
Bumpdid you rinse all the salt from the coco before mixing?
I didn’t know to do that. How should I? All coco needs to be washed? What about soil? I got roots organic today to try some seeds in also.
Do you think I should raise higher?Hey ffwp , might have to raise your lights up a bit , radiant heat can be stressing them , also , might want to consider transplant into another medium if the continue to go downhill , be a shame to lose a dozen seedlings , i dont grow coco , but it could be an issue for you because of extreme wet / dry cycle , or the rinse issue.....
Actually they dont look bad , whats your concern ?
Do you think using h&g drip clean would help?patience man, peeps will help ya!!
but yes all coco needs to be rinsed very well. coconut husk comes from sri lanka and since that country does not have a fresh water source all the coco is rinsed in salt water.
I'm not a coco grower so maybe somebody else can tell you how they rinse theirs. i believe most folks use a ppm meter to make sure it's clean.
they didn't look burnt or dry or too wet but something looked off and i bet it is sodium...
Temps say 74, have fans running, doesn’t feel too warm under at canopy height.Does it feel warm when you put the back of your hand underneath the light ?
I would def raise light 10 inches as a first step
Do you think using h&g drip clean would help?
Flush with seedlings in it? Won’t it drown them? Should I add drip clean?not sure what that is but you can just use good ol clean water (not city water) to rinse the salt away... flush em real good a few times and then go back to your food rate right away. and make sure you ph is set!!

Just took them directly off. Still on for circulation in the room.Ok , but too much air flowing over seedlings can dry them out and mess up transpiration
If it coco , it shouldnt drown them , bud ive never done that so proceed with caution , try with one now ....Flush with seedlings in it? Won’t it drown them? Should I add drip clean?
Feed once dry? Or as soon as I’m done flushing them. I’m using distilled water.don't let the water sit in the cup... i'm sure you have holes in the bottom right? well take a cup over to your sink and let the water run through the cup for a few minutes...
put em back on your try and feed em....
I personally think thats your problem , the fanJust took them directly off. Still on for circulation in the room.
