It wasn't burning until I added 1ml of canna start per liter. So should I just give it plain water and no canna start?Looks like it is preloaded with nutrients. That would explain the burning

It's got something called Ecothrive charge in the coco, I'm guessing the canna start I added made the plants burn up? Should I flush it with plain tap water?Looks like it is preloaded with nutrients. That would explain the burning
Seems like a good place to start. Water should still be ph'dIt wasn't burning until I added 1ml of canna start per liter. So should I just give it plain water and no canna start?
Thanks dude, I've just made up some water but I need to let it sit for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate out of my tap water, or do you think it's urgent and they need flushing straight away?Seems like a good place to start.
I feed my seedlings .3 EC max. Tap water Chlorine won't hurt your plantMy tap water is 0.6 EC and I added 1ml of canna start to a liter of water which made the EC rise to 0.7, only 0.1 EC higher than my tap water. The seedlings are nearly two weeks old. I fed them until run off the day before yesterday and I haven't fed them since
Thanks man, My tap water is hard (0.6 EC) I'm going to leave the water sit for a while to come up to room temperature and flush out the excess nutrientsI feed my seedlings .3 EC max. Tap water Chlorine won't hurt your plant
pH it to 5.8-6.0ish before you water it.Thanks man, My tap water is hard (0.6 EC) I'm going to leave the water sit for a while to come up to room temperature and flush out the excess nutrients
Ok thanks dudepH it to 5.8-6.0ish before you water it.
Thanks dude. So just keep feeding it plain water daily with no extra nutrients at PH 6.0?That happens to some of my seedlings sometimes too. Its nothing to stress over. Its growing healthy new leaves just fine. Plain water and light and its good. Start nutes again in about 10 days when its a little bigger.
Rule of thumb is dont start feeding until the cotydelons (those little round leaves all the way at the base) turn brown and wither away. The cotydelons are made to feed the plant until it develops roots.
This is a picture of mine that did the exact same thing at the same point in its life as your plant did and it bounced back just fine and is strong. Mine did it after I put it outside in the sun where it got sun all day.

I'm just confused because you are saying it's overwatered and other people are saying water it daily so I don't know anymore.I was suprised when I switched a small seedling from a solo cup to a 1 gallon pot with Fox farms Ocean Forest and it didn't burn...the original soil was Mother Earth Groundswell..here's a pic of it from today.. I'd say overwatering for yours
For a seedling that small you don't need to water daily, even when it's a little bigger you don't need to. I water every 48 hoursI'm just confused because you are saying it's overwatered and other people are saying water it daily so I don't know anymore.
He's in Coco you can't overwater with an established root structure and at 2 weeks his roots are established.I was suprised when I switched a small seedling from a solo cup to a 1 gallon pot with Fox farms Ocean Forest and it didn't burn...the original soil was Mother Earth Groundswell..here's a pic of it from today..

That will not reduce the EC of the water.Thanks man, My tap water is hard (0.6 EC) I'm going to leave the water sit for a while to come up to room temperature and flush out the excess nutrients
He's in coco you water daily even when they are small. You are in soil. It is quite different.For a seedling that small you don't need to water daily, even when it's a little bigger you don't need to. I water every 48 hours
He's a newbie on his very first grow and he's in soilI'm just confused because you are saying it's overwatered and other people are saying water it daily so I don't know anymore.
Plain water till its the size of the plant I showed you, it should be that size in about 10 days. As far as PH, I dont pay attention to my PH, I stopped paying attention to my ph in 2016 and never looked back. You're growing in coco so things are a little different than my setup though with mine being in soil. Water when it needs it, if it still feels damp then leave it and also that way your promoting root growth to find water when it dries out a little.Thanks dude. So just keep feeding it plain water daily with no extra nutrients at PH 6.0?
Thanks dude, so just flush them until run off straight away to avoid any more nutrient burn and keep watering them plain water daily at 6.0 PH?He's in Coco you can't overwater with an established root structure and at 2 weeks his roots are established.
That will not reduce the EC of the water.

Soil has a microbial herd to buffer pH. Coco doesn't so he must pH, no microbial herd.Plain water till its the size of the plant I showed you, it should be that size in about 10 days.
