...they are looking WAY better man, WAY better, lol. ...if anything they are still looking a mite hungry although the lite green color i'm seeing could just be the pictures and not a true representation of the plants which really are looking very healthy now.

peace, bozo

btw, i also reported that spam bullshit, ...we seem to get a lot of that kind of crap on this site.

Thanks man, being seeing a lot of spam on here last few days

this morning i thought the same, coco looked very dry so i did them some fresh feed and upped the nutes to 10ml A/B with 7ml PK 13/14, they was just on 7ml of the DutchPro per 15 liter of water.... recommended feed is 1ml per 1L of water...

also disinfected all the grow area as well just to be on safe side of pests...


Just found the NPK Values for dutchpro on RIU here and they are 1-2-3 for both A/B, i know what NPK is but how much per liter should i aim for or is there a rough guideline my girls will like?

thanks in advance

...here's a link to Dutch Pro's feeding charts, just download the appropriate pdf and it'll tell you exactly how much to use.

Dutch Pro feeding charts

peace, bozo

btw, this wasn't that hard to find bro, ...try and remember if you go hunting for your answers you'll do a lot less waiting.

Thanks bozo i already have the feed chart from my hydro store, however i dont think the A/B alone is not quite cutting it, my girls are still looking healthy but there is something thats not quite right

a useful link for people on Understanding N-P-K after reading this and the deficiency chart below, its starting to look like a Zinc deficiency... not sure how to rectify this problem

I'd say flush them with ph water until it runs out at the ph you want. Then start boosting their nutes, little by little. Better to be hungry then dead from to much.

***Edit*** ^This is talking about your run off water.

Also, When I start my nutes I'm at maybe 25% probably less. Again I am in aero though so I have zero buffer. The coco will give you a sllight buffer but neither is as forgiving as soil.

Start slow.

You just beat me to it lol, as I stated earlier in the thread, ph on run off was very low, for the last few hours I've been searching and come to the conclusion it's a ph problem, so will begin flushing tomorrow, also order a ph pen and soil/coco tester, hopefully these won't take too long and I can start getting back on the right path...

Thanks for the comments :)

thanks mate

so instead on waiting 5-7 days for delivery of a cheap amazon PH Pen decided to go to my hydro store and buy a decent one, flushed with PH'D water to 5.9 (in coco) and run off is at 5.4, will let the coco dry out for a few days and do a few more feeds with just PH'D water, hopefully this will bring the girls back to full health :)

Personally, I would dump water into the medium until it runs out the same as going in. If your target is 5.9 then get them bitches to 5.9. Then you'll stop seeing problems and can start adding nutes again.

Feel free to disagree but that's what I would do.

the bigger plant almost instantly looked better, after reading a lot on coco, best ph range is around 5.8-6.0, will flush again tomorrow to hit 5.9, last check on run off was 5.6 so slowing getting there... i also believe after hours of searching and reading article that i maybe underfeeding...

will give it a few days and add some pics...

:clap: Get it there man. Just remember to start slow on nutes. They haven't had any for a while and will treat it like boiling hot coffee if its to much at one time.

Just a quick update, ph level is steady at 5.9 in and out... the girls seem to be picking up... for the next week or two am going to have them on feed-water-water cycle...

main issue now is calcium magnesium deficiency, so going to pick some cal-mag up within the few days and use it through water/feed cycles...

will get some more pics up tomorrow

OK here is some pictures of the girls having a bath (flush) as promised

The smaller one unfortunately had a run in with my son and came worse off...

comments are very welcome and suggestions on improvements..

Look a little water logged (from flushing) They should perk up in a day and be reaching for the light.

Def ready for some nutes.

Ye after an hour or 2 the leaves was straight back up heading towards the light, run off on one was spot on at 5.9 and other was 5.7...

starting to get a little smell now...

i think if i get the opportunity to grow again ill go with the full canna range, had no issues with deficiency before... but i guess its just a learning curve
