I went to coco and my beautiful green plants got destroyed from dwc. Ill stick with soil over coco anyday. I know people do get amazing results but I never got the whole watering thing. Water everyday, every couple days or every 4 hours
lol,people up pot tooo big in coco.Root bound plants do well for me,water/feed twice a day sometimes.

Just epsom salt no perfumes no dyes
1tsp per gal fill up a quart sprayer and add the rest at the roots, So basically just a cup in each pot at the roots. Do the root thing one time this week but foliar feed every day , just a light mist add a clean surfactant just a little bit of dish soap 10 ml of dish soap in the quart.

and that harley guy has a bunch of videos out .... watch them

Very much appreciated

You also have no perlite in there.Water to run off ph6 calmag 1ml/l .those catch trys need to be lifted so plants dont sit in the 20% runoff.
Food with that feed also,4~500 ppmppm

What do you use to prop the pots up in the saucers ?

How far away is your light? .8 ec is pretty low for those, they are deficient for sure. After about a week my planted clones get 1.5 ec. how big of pots are those and how often are you feeding/watering?

Deffo underfed

Upped feed and starting foilar feeding later
Pots are 15l clones were potted in 1.5 pots prior tho....

I feed every watering

Generally give lower ec flush end of veg
And three times during flower of no build up ec goes straight back to where it should be for feed

Always been led to believe feed every watering although some friends give water at weekend incase of build ups

You are going to receive a lot of suggestions on this site and some will be helpful. From your pics I notice that you are spot watering? just around the plant...at this point I would saturate the entire pot until you get about 25% run off. imo you definitely need to water until run off appears. Other wise your coco will eventually get to much salt build up and that will create more havoc. Using half strength recommended cal-mag and 3/4 strength nutes and ph to 6.2 6.3. With that size plant in those size pots you could get away with watering every other day for a couple of weeks. What I have suggested has been working for me for a couple of years now...no issues.

The title of this thread reminded me of a verse in this little ditty & I just had to :bigjoint:



Therefore, make peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.
Give up!

I
I agree with @NrthrnMichigan, start feeding to runoff with 1/2 strength nutes, cal-mg, PH after adding all nutes to 5.7-6.2. I use those plant elevators and they are great. You can use cut up pool noodles or pvc pipe too.
I don't use the pot elevators because I'm running many plants... I use 4' x 8' and 2 x 8 foot flood tables/trays. In the veg room they are lifted high enough off of the floor to where a 5 gallon bucket will fit under the low end to catch the run off. In the flower room I lift one end about 2 inches off the floor and use a sump pump at low end to drain the run off. Low budget but it works.

I usually dont, I have in the past. I didnt like to take the time and mess with a few drops of ph down and wait for it to work then realize I went a drop too far and have to ph up it and get in that crap of doing that. So Im going to say no you dont have to.

Their looking more happy today. I had to cut back on feeding mine were getting burnt that was kinda my fault doe I fed them with 1100 ppm so now I know their soil is nice and full and I can tell because all my plants are super super dark green to dark for them usually so I backed them back to 400 ppm until they want more
