its fox farm and and coco together

people will tell you that you can mix coco and soil, but i've found that they don't work well together. they have different ph requirements, and the soil stays too wet, while impeding the coco's oxygen absorbing abilities. pick one or the other, and stick with it

Ok so what i just have to wait it out now, and do knw why certain leaves are turning yellow?

What are you feeding them, how often, and what strength?

Fox farm trio and a half of cap of big bloom and half cap of grow big the taller ones are durban poison im moster cropping them the other ones was free dont remember what they are but they definitely indica

Fyi this is my first time growing to

You could probably back off on the nutes a little. But as @Roger A. Shrubber stated the mix of coco and peat could potentially be problematic as each does have different characteristics. You have some clawing going on which is a sign of over fertilization. Maybe just plain water for a couple watering's and then back to just base nutes. No grow big or big bloom until they start looking better. But those yellow leaves are not going to recover so forget about them and focus on how the new growth looks.

Some people say to add more stuff when plants start showing issues. I've always found that the issues are usually caused by adding too much stuff to begin with and adding even more things into the mix exasperates the issues and sends you down a path of chasing problems that you caused yourself. Less is sometimes better than more.

Good luck

Thanks and about the branch part i dont think i have a full understanding of what to do and what not to do because you can over stress it to rite doing it like that. Also i was think it was some root issue but research can only give you ideas, i just ordered a ph reader it will be here in a few days but i was hoping tht i could make a few associates to help me master my craft i always wanted to do this now i have the space to do so

Yea this is my third feeding with plain water should i replant or too late and shoukd i get a water ph reader too

Your grow medium isn't the issue. I ran 50/50 coco/ffof for a couple years now. Treat it like soil but you still get the coco roots. I recently switched to coco/peat that sunlight supply just came out with. Basically putting soil with 50% coco already added.
I agree they look over fed just a bit. Slight n toxic. Possible salt build up in the medium. Good flush is in order then just base nutes.

This is your first time growing,You have done some very nice work on keeping those plant nodes tight ,I would be tempted to pull the branches apart and tie them down ,this will give you a very nice top .Looks like a new grower that has done some serious re search before jumping in ,well done .Seems you have mastered lolly popping,I would add something that will Kick the root growth into Giving you some new root growth ,Like Rhizatonic,This will help .Just remove any of the yellow leafs there dead ,and will just promote pest or may turn mouldy.I think its a root issue ,they may not be up taking right

Are they looking any better?

Yea Looking Good ,Great Job pull those leaves that are full yellow any that are not full yellow leave on,Leaves die off.So you will get the odd leaf die.There a good color look good carry on doing what ya doing .Perhaps in a week or so once you know there back on track, pull a few side branches down just a bit tie them to something low down.Just to get a bit more light into top and promote new tops .But be careful when ya doing it ,last thing ya want is any branches snapping ,but they do really well from doing that.

Should be made up with those though ,great set for your first go

Thanks i also i found out i wasnt watering enough either thats what caused the buildup, im giving more water now and they look a lot better. Im gonna try to try and tie them down, what do you use i got some plant ties because i knew once i put them on 12/12 the buds gonna get heavy

Best thing to do it pick the pot up when it's dry and feel the weight over when it's wet,the Autos I have going at the Minute are ,doing great biggest Autos I have ever seen no matter grown .they get 3/4 of a litre a day .I like the medium to be a tad dry promotes good root growth has the roots send out new roots to find moisture.Because I grow in Auto pot ,I get to see how much a plant drinks each day,they drink round about 5 litres each per 24 hours during flowering.But some times they will only take around 2 litres after around week 8 ish of flower.

Yea im learning to get vetter at the pick the pot up thing. Im growing in smart pots i read they the best, and you never told me what you use to tie down the branches

i use plant ties that i take a small piece of duct tape and wrap arpund the spot that touches the plant.
