@Vinny1989 once your pots are rooted out you water every day never let coco dry out, your ph and ec in the roots will get fucked up with excess salts. If your over watering in coco it's simple they ain't rooted out.
I'm using biobizz grow+bloom and on they're schedule it says water 2-3 times per week.. so if I've gotta water everyday should I half the amount of nutes I'm giving them an just feed them everyday then? It also says to use nutes with every watering

roots will reach the bottom in a few days, but that's not the same as rooting out the pot, you will know when they are rooted out when you have to water once a day, when in flower you will be feeding at least twice a day. Remember coco is hydro, do not treat it like soil, if you do it will be no better than soil. Yes you feed with every watering and water till you get run off about 20% and you won't get excess build up of salts. Coco plants should thrive but only if you follow what i have said, any experienced coco grower will tell you the same.
Feed strength should be a third of what the nutrient company says. You really should have a Ec meter and ph meter. My coco grows in veg never go above EC1.4 and in full flower normally EC1.5 pH 5.8 in veg and ph6.0 in flower. My tap water is EC 0.4 so i top that up u til it says 1.3 etc.
Hope i have explained that enough for you.

you need to bend them tops over and run them under the net and into another square in your net, after a few days the top will be above the net again, so move the top to another square and keep doing that. What you have there is just using the net as a flower support, so not a scrog.

I must have made my squares too large.
I bend and tuck but its too far of a gap takes a few days for it to grow out enough to stay under the string.
Is it too late to make my screen smaller?
Since its just sitting on top of the plants like you said currently. Could I testify it with smaller squares and restart the ticking process?

just keep tucking till stretch is over don't be messing about going back to veg now unless you have just flipped. Always next time. 3x3 inches is what i normally make my net holes.
I would say another 2 weeks of veg was needed.

Its not too late to restring that net with better spacing.

Here are the most recent pics from my outdoor scrog. It’s a Dr. K’s Mind Can’Trol and should have a couple weeks left to go, but mold keeps trying to creep in with all the wet weather we have had. I’ve hung a 22 inch turbo fan by bungee cords in the greenhouse with it blowing on the buds full blast trying to keep the moisture off them. If it doesn’t look better this week I’m going to harvest what I can.

She is in 4’x6’ trellis netting with 3.5” holes. It’s just the one plant in a five gallon fabric pot sitting in a 3’x3’ ebb n flow tray with an Autopot autovalve controlling the reservoir. This girl could produce 500 grams plus if she gets to finish.

So I ran another string diagonally to make my screen " smaller" I'm afraid to add another in opposite direction because I noticed as i was stringing the new string it was twisting my frame loosening some of the other squares.
Next run I'll definitely be making my screen better.20180917_225930.jpg 20180917_225922_HDR.jpg
