Yeah dunno what happened there man, i re-uploaded the pics and it seems to have done the trick. I never ran into probs before but i started using tubes again for young plants at xmas and i reckon it wasnt warm enough in the cab so the coco stayed wet for much longer. Perlite in the mix when there young gives much better drainage and i havent had any issues since using it. And like i say the grade of coco probably plays a big part in it, ive noticed that the quality can vary from batch to batch with the cheaper coco, but i'll only use it from now on to keep my mothers, after that its hydro all the way
