Are my plants underwatered or overwatered??

There are things that are a must have for all growers in my opinion. Moisture meter, PH meter and good genetics. A little luck always helps.
 
That what my problem was, I was using a ph and ec £15 meter, I bought a hanna submersible worth £170, within a week I seen the difference, I was phing with a broken pen so it was telling me 5.8 when really it was about 3.5.

After all that mess about never again will I trust cheap ph pens, with some advanced nutrients revive, thwy bounced right back and as you can tell are not looking bad at all

A bit of luck helps yes but determination and knowledge can correct the situation... As so...

I find the more plants you begin with, (the beginner) the more you are going to screw up, keep number of plants to minimal, concentrate on that, get that right then you can try growing the amazon, welcome to RIU and good luck.

PS read the website^^^^^^ water daily in coco till run off, you cannot over water coco.
 
To be fair it's not the first time with this many plants, just am new too cocoif you read my post I've been growing a long time, I always wanted too switch too coco as there is clear evidence coco returns a better yeild.
When growing in soil as I was used to the soil I bought was already enriched with nutrients, Where's I messed up is that when switching too coco I just watered with plain water at the beginning, now I know I should have gave it a good drink of nutrients at beginning before transplanting my clones. Then I only gave very low amount where as I should have had them on more nutrients. I have established a good feeding routine and now I have a ph pen that's not frying the plants. I know my yeild will hVe been effected greatly but I hate been defeated so had too keep going at them

I water/feed my coco every 2 days until run off. I tried everyday and they sure were overwatered as they started too droop

If the roots have filled the pot you can't overwater coco. Seedlings and small plants in huge pots should be fed like soil with dryback before the next feed.

Once plants have filled their pots feeding to significant runoff is best. Skipping feeding days can lead to problems.
