Well I finally got my problem sorted ..I wasn't very clear with the pictures I posted but even tho the coco looked really dry..what I'd done is repot my plants into coco and let the root ball moisture wick out into the new coco
they had spent most of there lives before that really wet...
yeah think I'll hold off the watering slightly till I see a few more roots ..I've got a few coming out the bottom already but I just had a look at my pots after watering yesterday ..if I tilt the pot I get drips of water coming out of the bottom..I might go every other day till its rooted out a bit
so with coco even tho I only just transplanted and the new pot isnt rooted out yet would you go all out and water once a day even if the coco is soaking wet still ?
perfect ill run with that then ..my last coco run went smooth as fuk only thing I did different was I started out in small pots with soil then transplanted into coco ..think that's where I've gone wrong this time ..I'd been treating the young plants like I was still growing in soil and holding...
thanks for that yeah I might add some microbes to my next feed ..might even drop back on my light intensity a touch until they sort themselves out a bit
these had rooted out the smaller pots pretty well ..circling roots at the bottom and all
looking at it I'm sure I have just been...
yeah 100 percent coco coir
that is brilliant advice cheers for that ..at this point then do you think I'd be safe to start watering/feeding every other day and maybe bump my ec up to 1.2 including my tap water ec of 0.7 and go from there ?
hey yeah I've got an expensive quantum sensor to check my light levels ..I'm sat at 300ppfd right now
looking at my notes on my last run I was at about 400 ppfd around about this time with no issues
yeah it's 100 percent coco
I think looking at it I've definitely underfed and under watered
thanks for the reply ..you think that's what it is then ?
it looks extra dry now cuz I repotted yesterday and haven't watered them in yet ..I was worried I'd been overwatering them so I was gonna ease off a bit
would you say at this stage I should be watering maybe every other day ?
so these plants are 13 days old from rooted cuttings
growing in coco with an ec of 1.0 including a background ec of 0.7
using athena nutrients
25c 60 rh
300 ppfd checked with an apogee

3-4 days between watering
I've had nothing but trouble with them upto now ..I feel like I...
Hey thanks for the reply.. Ive got an inline filter sat in my res just above the pump.. I took that apart yesterday and cleaned the filter so i can rule that out.. You could be right with the pump its self tho.. Ill go give that a good clean out and see if that helps
Yeah its a nightmare.. I normally water by hand but ive got a holiday coming up so the plan was get everything set up on a timer get everything automated so i can leave the house for a few days at a time.. The way its running at the min ive got no chance.. If i dont switch the pump off i think...
