Hello this is my first indoor grow and I'm having some issues that i cant figure out. the plants are 23 days old.
I'm growing in coco and perlite 70/30 in 3Gal and 1Gal smart pots 4x4 tent
GH Flora Trio + 5ml/Gal of CalMag feeding with the cocoforcannabis schedule PH 6.0 PPM700 inflow
Light is a HLG 550 V2 knock off 29 inches from the top of canopy 24hrs light
Temps are 78-82 RH 45-50% 200cfm exhaust fan and 16" oscillating fan blowing above canopy on low
ive been letting the top of the coco dry out slightly before watering. i think the 3Gal pots were too big so i havent been able to get run off easily because ive been worried about overwatering. any advice would be very appreciated IMG_20190719_162555.jpg IMG_20190719_175144.jpg IMG_20190719_175232.jpg

Less watering. Trying to get runoff with plants of that size in a 3 gallon is not the way.
Pretty sure you are over watered and roots are not up taking and is why there is purpling and the leaves look translucent almost. Not sure if translucent is right word though.

You should still soak the pot good with 1/4 strength nutes so it's totally wet. Going to take a week at least to dry out but by then there should be a lot more root growth and the plants should be looking a lot better.

Coco needs lots of watering and dries out real fast with fabric pots. Most coco growers water a few times per day. I use peat based ProMix HP and water every 4 days in 2.5g pots. Going to go to every 3 days tho as at almost 3 weeks flowering they are sucking it back faster.

Get it wet!

Good luck!

ive read most of the articles on cocofocannabis still learning to implement them. i raised the light and switched to 18/6 lowered nutes by about half gonna try be really careful with my watering and see how things go. thanks everybody for the feedback. ill update with some pics in a week or so

Seed or clone, I keep them in solo cups until the plant is hearty with good rooting. Then transplant into final. For me its the best way to manage early fertigation.

i think that was one of my big mistakes. i was over eager to transplant them and i didnt let them root well enough, ive been having trouble since then.
