Identify the problem ?

Eh,

So these girls are banana OG and are 3 weeks old. I'm noticing a yellowing on the lower leaves and seems to spreading. The other is fine and both have had the exact everything. Growing in a coir mix, R.O water ph @ 6.2 supplemented with small doses of calmag & kelp. 18" from light HLG65 on 18/6.

Are you giving them any sort of nutrients other than calmag?

Just started on big grow 4-6-6 yesterday

Coir blend? Blended with what? Yellowing starting at the bottom working it's way up sounds like nitrogen deficiency. If you just started feeding yesterday you should probably be good. Just keep an eye out to see if it continues.

They definitely need food now.

Ok thanks much appreciated I thought it was a N def too

Might want to transplant soon also mine are just a few days older than yours it sounds. I just transplanted yesterday and saw some root circling if yours are like mine they're going to start sucking that cup dry quick. I understand that you get about as much growth under the soul as you do on top. and a rule of thumb is once your plant reaches past the edges of your cup you should transplant. You should be able to flip one and check without to much root disturbance.

I agree, get them out of those cups too, probably starting to get root bound..

I was thinking the same boys. I'm going to go to a 1G pot then finish in a 4 or 5G. Only reason I haven't yet is because I see so many people letting seedlings get so big in solo cups. And I don't mean the challenge. Lol

Yeah, I tend to get them out of the cups at the start of week two, which is earlier than a lot of people I see, so I've been thinking about leaving them a little longer personally...

i think a lot of people are lazy....it's a good idea to let them get slightly bound before transplanting...slightly...if you pull it out of the cup and it's a solid mass of roots, that's too long.....
seriously though, the point is to let them grow a good sized root mass so it can expand rapidly when you transplant, but it's just wasting time to let them get too large, they could already be in a new pot filling it with roots....

It's a bit of a preference thing too I feel. I suppose if you are watering and feeding carefully you can get away with a long time if not all the way but that would be a small yeild. I do love the idea of a solo cup challenge. I may try one some time.

Definitely ! Wise you are. I agree fully.

I've seen it a ton also but still not a good practice. I'm new to this plant but no plant wants to be root bound. I think most of the big plants little cups are cuttings which start out bigger anyway. Or their timing may have been iffy and the real estate has opened up yet. Either way you seem to be on the right start.
There is no problem until there is one. Then fix it.

Are you limited in space? I've finished 5gallon and 10gallon pots and the 10s are far better, if you have the space!!

I normally use 5G but I'm using 8G right now and I find I am using way to much water. I'm spending to much time watering.
