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...

even when it's 100 percent saturated and not rooted out its new pot yet ?

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 ?

thanks for the advice everyone how do you all feel about hitting these in the state there in with 275 ppfd ?

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

this was a day before repotting

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 ph 5.8 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

Ive been waiting 5 days for a reply now.. There usually on point but recently i struggle getting anything back of them

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...

Hey all i recently set up a floraflex watering system.. At first it all seemed to work fine then out of nowhere my air bleed valve started kicking out loads of water I went from maybe 500 ml at most to maybe upto 3000 ml + Any ideas what could be causing this...

Ha yeah its pretty bad.. My taps in the house end up white in a week or so after a good clean Well i got a soil ph meter delivered today and my root zone ph is spot on at 6.5 Just goes to show checking runoff ph is useless My runoff ph today was 7.3.. So a big difference compared to 6.5...

Anyone else got any ideas on this?

Yeah tbf my soil is 60% peat 40%coco I was thinking with my run off ph coming out at 7.2 id drop it down from 6.5 to 6.0 to see if that brings it down a bit That is a very good point mate.. Ive done a few grows in the past without even adjusting the ph so maybe that is the issue Think ive...

Yeah this could be the issue yano.. Think my run off was coming out at 7.2 before i dropped it down Ive got a soil ph meter getting delivered anyday now so i might drop todays feeding down to 5.8 and see if that stops it spreading before i do a proper root zone ph test
