Your coco shouldn't be drying out. Letting coco dry can cause salts to accumulate and your plants will start to exhibit symptoms of nutrient toxicity. Just water with plenty of run off (like mentioned already) and dont let the coco get dry between feedings.

You're doing too much and are actually hurting your plants. Don't even bother looking at your runoff. Just start making sure that what you put in is correct. Water until runoff daily and don't let the coco dry out.
 
I just flushed them so I would think theres not much salts to build up but ill try the feed correctly, lightly until they come out the bottom and hope they bounce back aproach as it makes sense because there should be enough air/water % in cocoa would be hard to get root rot. Ill feed .25% At 6.0 and keep you posted. Btw my mars hydro fc3000 is now at 50% 3’ away.

You flush with every feed,if you flushed with straight water now their starving.Feed them now!

There are no mixed ideas,so much info out about growing in coco.Its all the same.
Have to be able to manage runoff #1 very important. Your growing hydro not in soil so no dirt rules apply.
Feed every day @1EC Is a good starting point.Dont let dry out! Never straight water! Very easy.

Get your plants elevated above a tray so you can just pour your feed in.Dont be shy, pour away lol.

Good luck follow these simple rules and youll have healthy plants.

Good reads for any grower.





I found simplicity with Jacks nutes.
Stopped using all the bottles.

This picture is from today. I flushed them 5 days ago with 6.0 water with no nutes. I only fed them with .9 ec(.2 of that is tap) after sitting with wet pots from flush after 3 days. Then fed them today as well with same. About 200ml into there 1 gallon pots. The struggle is real. How long to turn them around? I feel like pots are to wet regardless of what people say. Flora flex bricks btw

I told you 3 days ago it’s going to get worse, before it gets better. Lift your light all the way up as they don’t want nothing to do with light currently and continue to give them low EC feeds with proper PH and run off.

It’s not going to miraculously be fine and dandy overnight
 
Yeah I figured that I’ll lift the lights a little more and keep the EC down. Do you think I should be watering once a day and enough till it just comes out the bottom a little. Thanks for the help

Pretty jammed in there,can you remove a few?Easier to grow a couple good plants then a bunch of unhealthy ones.Get a tray with a grate over top.The smaller ones can wait on feed, let roots grow a few days.
They have food now, they'll recover, you got this.

Lift the lights all the way up, they are hurting more than helping right now. Water daily until good run off. I would personally trash half those plants in there and focus on growing a few good ones

Id go by weight, if there noticeably lighter in 24 hrs then feed,their drinking.If weight is same then those ones arnt drinking,consider culling those.

All those plants/bags jammed in there soaking wet with a cold floor and not much airflow isnt helping either.
