5 gallon coco pots @ 70/30perlite
water them 1 gallon of water everyday and has runoff
5.8 ph
6/9 lucas formula with 5ml of calmag
220watt led quantum board at 22" away
63% humidity 73f
I just defoliated a lot last night because the huge fan leaves were blocking budsites. A lot of the budsites were lime green in color.

The four best ways to have plant problems:

coco
led lights
overwater/over-feed
defoliate

The plant looks about normal for the abuse it's taking. RIU has hundreds of threads about these conditions. It's better to copy the successful grows in the grow journals.
 
Do you guys think the reason why my plants aren't growing any bigger either is that I planted them early in 5 gallon pots? A buddy of mine mentioned that it probably got rootbound and needs to be transplanted into a bigger pot. They seem a bit small and its been almost 6-7 weeks from seedling.
 
don't think they are rootbound. 5 gal is big enough for that plant. plants don't get rootbound in fabric pots because of air pruning

sorry i don't know whats wrong with your plant. maybe reduce nutrients and back off the light and see if it recovers.
 
A 5 Gallon pot, regardless of its material, is enough pot to easily handle a 4'-5' plant growing in coco. In fact, in my experience, a coco grow likes to be a bit 'root bound' if you will, and in many instances, folks are using pots that are way too big for the plants they are growing. I wouldn't sweat the pot size. I would try to adjust your temps and RH though...
 
That plant is no where near big enough to be feeding till runoff every day. Allow more time in between waterings.
 
I only feed my coco girl once every other day or ever two days depending on the condition of the coco.
 
Over watered, it’s pretty obvious, look at the thing.

It’s always only 3 problems: too much light, too much water, too many nutrients (besides pests). Less is more. Happy growing.
 
I'm also voting for overwatered, possible pH issues as well, but definitely try backing off on the watering. Good luck!
