As for the holes @Chrisjames47 coukd be anything.

doesn’t necessarily look like insect damage.

Tough to say for sure.

have you considered raising the smaller plants up? Turning over a plant pot large enough to stand them up higher?

Wtf is moonshine?



Here’s everything that I use.

A/B Dutch pro hydro coco
Epsom salts
Calmag
Monotpotassium phosphate
pH down.

That’s a very crowded tent and you’re barely flowering yet!

You also haven’t mentioned what they’re growing in? Soil? Coco? Hydro etc?

what’s your environment consist of?

Any other circulation fans besides that floor standing one?
The moonshine is a nutrient enhancer, I am growing in coco perlite 70/30, no that is the only fan I am using for circulation but I have two 7 inch fans I could put on floor of the tent but I'm not sure if they would make a difference, I haven't used a c02 bag like I did on the last one either would you say they are worth it? and I also only just realised last weekend that I never had the side vents open so they were closed up until then I'm not sure if that would have any effect on the plants.

How often are you feeding your plants and at what EC or PPM value?

Ok.

Firstly moonshine enhances what nutrients?

Secondly could you list everything you are using please?

From lights/tent size/fan specs/temps of environment/feeding frequency and nutrient strength.

You should have more than just that one fan pointing at your tent.

you need more fans inside the area.

Co2 bags add a small amount of Co2 but if you are using an exhaust fan you’re just sucking it all out (I have a green one in mine because it was a gift to try)

Every 2-3 days until now but I am going to start feeding every 1-2 days, I have 24 ltr bucket for my feed which only does one feed I think I will need a bigger one if I am to start feeding every day and I am not measuring ec or ppm just ph but I am looking into getting myself an ec meter.

With coco it is a hydro medium and as such must remain moist for it to work otherwise the CEC of coco can be fucked up if you don’t supply feed everyday when plants are well established.

nutrient strength in coco should be measured in EC or PPM so that you can monitor what’s going in.

Sounds like you’ve been convinced by someone to use coco without being provided the knowledge in how to grow using coco.

Just getting on my way to work I will send you the list on my first break.
Thanks for your help

the way that you are growing is treating the coco like soil.

you would have been better choosing a good quality soil for the way that you’re using coco.

it would have been more conducive to the way you’re doing it now.

Also forgot to mention I am using 18 litre plant pots.

2 plants
25L water container and in 18L pots this gives me 4 days of feed for 2 plants feeding once daily.

@Chrisjames47 it may be beneficial for you to look over some of my own grows that I’ve logged on RIU for you to be able to follow how a successful grow using coco is achieved etc.

here’s a few of my threads from the years of growing and designing rooms etc.

My current grow of the pic I posted showing EC values ml per litre of what I’m using.

when I start daily feeding. Why I’m doing what and when etc.

Only just got a break , yea I rushed into the first one to quick without looking things up properly and I am starting to think I have done the same again , I was told often to feed everyday but I tried my luck been lazy and just fed every 2-3 days because I am out of the house for 12 hours a day so by the time I get home the lights off but I will get up earlier in the morning and feed before work if I have to.

Could I get good yields with coco?
Oh and here's the list of what's in the feed:
Canna a 2ml per ltr
Canna b 2ml per ltr
Rhizo: half strength
Cannazym: half strength
Moonshine: half strength
Pk 9/18: half strenth
Buddhas tree flower burst: half strength
Ph down

You can have you light schedule whatever you want as long as you don't have light leaks. Some guys do lights off in the day to help with heat issues.
I might not change my timer by hrs, but I would change it an hr at a time to where the lights were on when I was needing to be in there.
