Curling sadly ..

buDmeUp · Jun 29, 2010

Hey guys ,
I`m runnin 3 different strains - white snow , white widow & wonder woman.
Coco soil ,
atami A+B + booster nutes,
400 hps
temps & hum all in good range . (26c - 40%)
The girls are on their 8th day . I started feeding them 4 days ago with "Atami A+B", 1/4 of the recomended dosage by Atami. gradually I brought them to 3/4 , that was yesterday when I changed the whole water .
Now the girls show a little sign of curling ages on the leaves . By the way the 2 wonder woman (1st & 3rd pics) had these weird leaves from the begining . Except of that they all seem growing nice (?) and the color looks good.
Any ideas what it might be ?
Thanks

hey budmeup, do you control your pH? it's pretty important to do that from the start as it affects the levels of nutes that can be absorbed.

not that i'm saying this is the problem.......droop is usually a sign of over or under watering. i know nothing about coco so maybe wait for another post but i think you have to water quite often to prevent drying out. and, your soil looks pretty dry to me. more water? how do the leaves feel? if a little thin and papery, probably underwatering.

Hey Django ! tnx for responding . :mrgreen:

My ph is about 5.5 - 6 .. pretty steady .
And I water the plants 5 times/15min , throw the cycle of 18 hours of light .
I was watering them a little more on before , and then thought i overwatered them and went down on only 5 times a day .
The soil looks 50/50 wet dry to me . still figuring how much water do they need :-?

you are feeding way too early, and watering too much and too often.

1. no food the first two weeks, diluted the week after that, full strength by the fourth week.

2. you want your seedlings' roots to grow throughout the pot in search of water to give you a strong root base. water until it comes out of the bottom of the pot. wait until soil is dry down a couple of inches before you water again. you'll end up watering every third day or so.

hey buddy as somebody said above me, youre feeding them too early. Im not quite sure about coco, but soil usually will have enough food for 2-4 weeks depending on the brand. Coco should have some type of foods in it but im not positive on this but it doesn appear that your gurls arent liking being nuted that young. I would hold off on the food and see what happens. The poster above me gave you some real good advice! Im learning too still so I hope everyhting ends up peachy for u and were both smoking some dank homegrown!

lil update from yesterday :
Plants look awsome (except little curlings) , seemed double in size from yesterday !

I diluted the res water a bit and changed the watering schedule to 3 times per day .. looks like they didnt get stressed 2 much ..
Thanks all .

i thought you were supposed to treat coco like hydro and water often?

buDmeUp · Jun 30, 2010

drips are going 3 times a day/15 min each time . the coco gets wet well within the 15 min.
so i guess its still pretty often ... :/ soon will see how they respond ..

coco soil you dont coco clay is differant they look fine to me but before its to late drop back on the watering coco soil has no nutes in it at all so you do need to introduce nutes but start off slow i mean real slow and increase slightly every 3/4 days i would recommend watering 2 times a day for 20 mins once at lights on and once just before lights off this is when the plants drink most

good luck m8
