Plants yellowing in Coco Coir

[Kingrow1]

What did you use before? Just curious. I'm using the bio bizz stuff and it's pretty fine.

I have used soil predominately but i have run most things to some extent and cloned and germinated in everything i can think of so i feel reasonably confident with whatever and have more than enough different ferts, meters etc etc etc for all situations and a ton of additives that i never bother with any more.

I have run most of biobizz,s ferts over time but not their soil or coco. Got some cana coco (natural) and their a and b ferts and it gives me the chance to really get into coco since ive only ever flirted with it and never got serious.

If its possible i dont know if you have ever seen the cana coco but if you mean that you are growing in biobizz coco it would be nice to get a comparison as to how fine or pith like they are. Personally the canna looks and feels quite fine but i feel that i simply cannot overwater it unless i got real stupid, treat like hydro not soil it seems.

Anyway i guess i have enough experience and time served here to be reasonably confident in anything, probably clone in a handfull of lego blocks if pushed. None of this makes me any better than average, i still surf rollitup for that extra knowledge like most

Sidenote.....


It was a fucking quandary to me as to why i would treat a one day old seedling any different to a fully established plant in coco, at first i trated like soil and waited for the pot to lighten over 2/3 days but i never got the growth i wanted. Screw it i watered every 24hours and every time the plants loved it and grew more, like literally grew after everyfeeding with zero problems. Now i feel like i could run more feeds per day, maybe even two or three, a roots a root small or big so treat all the same...

The crux of this is that i expected some brown roots or rot or crap growth with daily waterings from day one of germination and what i got was the exact opposite.

I've found that the biobizz coco is very fine, feels a lot like fresh dirt, and holds water well. I've found for seedlings every few days they need water, as that's what's great about coco, it holds moisture. As for my larger plant, it seems to be transpiring enough now to want to be fed ever other day. I've also noticed that a lot of this also depends on airflow. (Constantly learning over here. Indoor is harder than outdoor) I'm going to go ahead now and top off my large plant and get the coco closer to the top of the pot so it has more medium to hold water and ferts.

I've found 4-7 feeds per day to give the best results. There's a thread over on icmag called Coco Trees that you might want to checkout OP.

Would you like me to requote it and bold the part where you said cal mag was the solution???
Nobody is this dumb. Are you a troll?

Here ya go.
Triple derp.

And another!

You said I said cal mag was the solution.

You have not quoted me saying that. As I never said that. You are quoting my posts and using it as proof of me typing, but I am simply not saying what you think I am saying. I never typed it, please quote me typing that.

I don't know why I'm even wasting these electrons on you so but I'll explain further so you can understand better.

I said that the problem is the plant is low on magnesium.

By adding Cal mag it will buffer the coco so it releases more ca, mg & potassium increasing this combination will solve this person's problem.

Please stop interpreting my posts and then using little bits to try support something that you have still failed to quote!

Derp back to you young grass hopper.

So to sum it up, you said cal-mag will solve the persons problem.
Then I said cal-mag will not compensate for the complete lack of NPK.
Then you claimed that you never said cal-mag will solve the person problem and asked me to quote it.
And I'm the dummy???

Derp.

I said cal mag would solve his problem. The solution is more complex then that as there is a lot more going on. You said it will not solve his npk problem, I'm saying it will. By adding Cal mag to coco you are buffering the ce. This means that the coco will release K as coco has lots of k in it. So by adding Cal mag you will fix his problem, his npk problems...

To sum up :

You have said multiple times that I have said cal mag is the solution. I never said that ever. Saying calmag Will fix his problem is different to a solution if you never understood the meaning of the word. You have failed to quote me saying multiple times even though you keep insisting I said the above. . You sir are a troll. Good day to you.

You can't even comprehend your own words -- which I quoted for you.
Welcome to my ignore list, Troll.

Well look at that! Someone edited my posts that had Porky's quotes in red text and bolded.
Only someone with mod rights could do that.
I understand deleting posts, but since when have mods began editing posts???
That's fucked up.
Now I'm thinking porky is an undercover mod who is abusing his power...

I'm having some yellowing recently as well. My whole plant is turning a yellowish gold colour. See pictures attached. Just gave my girls a full Cal Mag feed tonight. Let's see how that works. I hear so many different things about letting pot lighten before watering again. I am doing Canna coco A+B at 4ML A + 4ML B per litre. I do this once every 3 watering. This means my babies only get fed once every 9 days (give or take). Any advice for a first time grower. I didn't think I'd be so addicted but I am. I just want my babies to be happy and healthy.

Pretty sure it's an N problem brotha not enough nitrogen?

 

[Dutchieman420]

Although they don't look BAD by any means some strains area lighter color as well not usually so early in life cycle most babies are dark full green I would still increase N a lil to avoid a real deficiency

The plant will regain colour very fast if it is a nitrogen problem and you dose some.

These charts are typically pretty good reference points but be careful

If you're growing in coco feed every time you water

Plants grown in coco should be fed everyday. Never just water - ever - it's always feeding time. You're treating it like soil and it's hydroponics.

 

[DieLawn99]

Really eh? I was always taught the "wait till the bag is light method" and only feed once every 3 waterings. Maybe that's why my plants are still so small. They've been vegging for just under 60 days and they're only about 18-22 inches from the top of the coco. See pictures below

I think "starving" is going a bit far they look hungry but that's probably more because u are at that stage where they need less nitrogen and mre potassium and magnesium and phosphorus.
Remind me have u done the flip? It looks like it
Ayways when they are flipped there is a period where they sretch like crazy, I personally feed a lil more prior to and directly following the 12\12 change
Remember plants take some time to feed

Eh I just looked again at ur ew pics they are a lil small for thereage
