Same
Samesame i have no experience with soil coco mix, they may require more frequent watering than 100% soil
You're watering wrong. Water coco several times a dayI have a plant, she started life as a clone. At the moment it's 3 and a half weeks old
Over the last two days she's looking a little droopy, I last watered it two days ago with a litre of water with no nutrients
The media is Coco and soil mixed and the pot is 4 gallons
I used a 20/4 light split.
I'm planning on watering tonight but I thought I'd post here first View attachment 2249998View attachment 2249999
My bad I didn't notice poster said Coco and soil MIX. Agree with BeazyNot advised to mix soil and coco.Go with one or the other. Every grow I’ve seen with the two mixed has been nothing but problems because the two different medias require two different watering applications.
I’ve never seen an under watered plant droop at the top first. Usually bottom up from what I’ve seen !!! Looks like a PH issue to me but I’ve never grown in this mixwith one to one he can't do dry cycle
coco coir will suck water from roots like dyson hoover
plant is underwatered
Are you adjusting PH when watering and feeding ?? Soil shouldn’t need adjusting but coco needs to be adjusted I believe to like 5.6 - 5.8 Don’t quote me on those #’s tho like I said I’ve never grown in it someone smarter about coco will correct those #’s I’m sure if I’m off.I have a plant, she started life as a clone.

It's a cheap plastic pot.Me too
But I had it in mind for other tent so was going through grows of successful people growing in mixture of soil and coco some time
All I was finding is that with 1:1 and up you have to treat it more like coco not a soil
It depends also how mix is done- layers are trouble. I was planning to thoroughly sift and mix mine
with big bits of coco it seems to suck water like crazy creating pockets. Better so to use fluffy ready mixes of coco coir not cheap stuff. makes sense
that might be the reason why we see under/over water signs at once?
but I am just shooting here
is that clay?
Ah no I'm not, I read that you didn't need to.for soil. And stupidly assumed the same with a mixAre you adjusting PH when watering and feeding ??

Yeah I won't be doing it againNot advised to mix soil and coco.Go with one or the other. Every grow I’ve seen with the two mixed has been nothing but problems because the two different medias require two different watering applications.
Why did you do it in the first place?Yeah I won't be doing it again

Lack of researchWhy did you do it in the first place?
while most pheno will have their bottom and older leaves to drop first when thirsty i once had a pheno whose top leaves started dropping before bottom leaves when thirstyI’ve never seen an under watered plant droop at the top first. Usually bottom up from what I’ve seen !!! Looks like a PH issue to me but I’ve never grown in this mix
The media was still a little moist to the touch so I'm leaving it for a few more hoursWell whatever it is or was she definitely looks better.I hope she continues to do great for ya
