first grow

[grobopalous]

Hi, just started these little babies about 3 weeks ago, have them in an pure coco medium, all seems to be going well! I've been feeding w/ Flouraduo nutes at half strength, and they are responding well, but one of them seems to be somewhat stunted, as well the leaf is a brighter green than the rest and is developing some brown spots in the last couple days. Oh, and the last 2 pics in this post are another plant, which seems to have some brighter streaks in the leaf as well. Would love to get some feedback, I'm a newbie and I am open to ideas!

What PH are you putting in.
When I grow in coco coir I run my ph at 5.5 in Veg since I know it'll come up a bit as it sits.
I run 5.8 in Flower.

yea, I have yet to pick up my pH meter...picked up my supplies from hydro shop, and they told me to wait until I actually ran into a problem before I get one. Don't think I appreciate that advice much, so that's why I'm here! Will be picking one up soon...figure that's my problem?

That was terrible advice they gave you.You definitely want to get one because it appears that you are locking nutes out.

wow, did i ever get ripped off at my local grow shop...130 bucks for hanna ph meter, does ph and temp, but i can get the combo one online for the same price! anyway, karma is usually on my side, so I expect good things! so it looks like i may have been a bit high on the alkaline side for ph, so i've been adjusting accordingly, but things are looking great thus far!
