Ok three weeks old... Gave them 1/4 strength nutes about 2 and a half weeks ago.. Nothing but water since I flushed them. They where looking good then this happened... Growing in coco did just give them a very low dose of nutes.. Sorry guys this is my first grow and I have already learned a ton.. When you look at the charts that show problems it's hard when you haven't grown anything before as they all look so similar.. Anything would be great
I have no idea !

you fed too early. at 1 week, when you initially fed, they didn't need it. the cotyledons feed them for the first couple weeks or so. in coco, you feed every day, and no flushing, unless you overdo it. i'd say about 200-250 ppm would be good now, they look hungry, yellowing. n def. ph your feed to 5.8. when you feed, get a good 10-15% run-off. you should have some good drainage holes in the bottom of your containers, right? what kind of lighting are you using? how far away?
Yea I realized that that's why I flushed.. The next day they stood right up then slowly started to get where they are now.. I was thinking they where hungry but didn't know if it was the effect of nute burn still.. They where just re potted from 4" containers to those you see yesterday the roots where basically covering the entire thing all white no brown. The new containers have drainage holes and the material it's self is the same as the " smart pot". I gave them nutes for the first time tonight.. I am getting a digital ph meter tomorrow.. I have been using the drip test up till this point I know i know : p. I am going to get a combo ph and tds. For tonight I gave them 1/4 strength what h&g said on their nutes. Growth has slown down and drooping getting worse. Your thoughts would be to start giving nutes and ensure ph is around 5.8 I know it's been between 5 and 6
