Sup folks, decently experienced grower, only soil, 100% new to coco. I've seen first hand results of my soil vs a good coco grower and I am convinced. Unfortunately, I don't have contact with this man as I used to.
Please help me out, plant are abnormally small for how old. They are about 2 weeks old from popping out of ground. Just recently learned (thanks to you guys) that I should start feeding early on a coco grow. First nutes given about 1 week ago, ph tested. Water was not ph tested before hand.
I saw they were a little light green and determined that to be a slight ph issue with the first (non ph tested water) watering. Looking somehwt decent since the first 1/4 strength watering. Any advice for my first coco grow other than watch the PH always?
Would really like some opinions considering my soil grow was much faster from seed but I've seen the good coco growers explode past my soil results.20210417_210432.jpg

Dial in your soil grow and you’ll keep up with coco or any hydro grow. besides once you hit flower it’ll flower at the same rate regardless of medium. You should have added perlite though to that coco. Feed lightly each watering dont ever not feed.

No need to soak that entire pot. Treat your seedlings more like soil until the roots fill the pot.

You didn't give any info on what you pHed your feed or what EC it was.

Increase humidity also.

I think your humidity is too low to feed. Humidity that low will change how the plant takes in nutrients. I'm a little curious what the ph of the solution you fed? You should get into the habit of maintaining that humidity, and checking it BEFORE you feed, every feed.

You should be feeding like 200-300 ppms every time you "water." When they are small, I just use a small ml syringe to water around the root zone, the low ppm of the feed isn't enough to "build up" in the media in the beginning. Your plants are hungry. Also, what kind of light are they under?
