Few problems with plants

Ok, so my dads doing a grow but it's a totally different set up to mine and hes had a problem from the beginning, they're not looking as bad now but still droopy and marked leaves, I dont think it's an over watering problem though but let me know what you think, or if you think the set up needs changing

purple stems means it might be a bit cold... leaf tip burning suggests slight nute burn but without further info hard to tell.

Medium?

Ambient temp?

Nute regiment? PPMs?

Hes using canna a + b, think its 40ml per 10l, I told him to try using less, I thought it might be neut burn as it's on the tips and just water on the smaller ones, canna coco soil, hes got a rad in the tent to keep it at temp but I think the thermostat on those things isn't very accurate

I looked it up. It says the EC of the dissolved solution is between 1.2-2.3 ms/CM which seems somewhat unstable to me. I'd look to change nutrients....

Basically you put a solution in that can vary from 840ppm-1600ppms with 'water' does not say if it is tap water or filtered/distilled/RO water...


at 840ppms for that size plant is OK. 1600 ppms is too much even for a full grown flowering plant.....

Looks like the lights are too strong for the little guys, they're all pushing away.

I see a lot of dry coco in those pots. Sure it's not underwatering?

Leaves curling up a bit like tacos could be a bit of heat stress or low humidity.

Overall though they look fine. Certainly nothing too concerning.

I think he needs to try and spread out his watering more than anything, just pours in in the middle, were both doing our first grows ever in separate houses, trying to produce a large amount of RSO

Yeah I was also thinking those lights were way too intense, he got them custom made, they are on maximum but you can dim them, do you think it would be a good idea to turn them down a bit

They're definitely better than they were, I think that light needs dimming

Well, if roots hit dry medium... There you go.

Yea, they are all pushing to one side or the other away from it. How it looks in the pics anyway.

You have to keep coco moist, dry coco releases salts which will cause all kinds of issues. Keep that medium watered, don’t let it dry out.

Lifted the lights up this morning and they're looking better I think, much straighter, not so droopy, thanks for all your input guys

Plants look too faded. Not green enough and those purple stems, petioles and leaf veins aren’t looking good at all. What’s the temps and feeding?

The purple is normal at this stage,. They green up as they get older.

The feed is also where it needs to be. There is a very slight nute burn. They don't always get dark green. I've grown many strains that will not darken no matter how toxic you make them.

I’ll have to disagree. The purple and faded leaves are only normal cause a lot of people have issues with feeding/watering young plants. When the purple goes beyond the stalk and petioles and is in the leaf veins, it’s not good. I used to have the issue often and rarely come into it now that I’ve adjusted my feeding and soil mix
