PH is averaging around 5.85 with ppm at 800 and EC at 0.8
The two in the 5 gallon pots look slightly lighter green than the one in the 2 litre can. One of the 5 gallons seedlings is a bit behind due to shell surgery. I’ve just given them first good feed and increased light intensity slightly. Do they look healthy at the moment?
Yes, they are looking good.
Since you are growing in coco, always water until run off...........never water just next to the plant and never just use a spray bottle, both these methods are useless, you need run off to help keep the coco from building up in nutrient salts.
You will also need to feed from virtually day one in coco, it has zero nutrients.
Coco growing is basically hydro in a pot. (I am sure you know all this, I wrote all this for the beneft of those people who gave you "advice" but did not even bother to look at your diary!)
Interestingly the largest plant is in the smallest pot (2 litre Igrowcan), the difference in set up between the fabrics was that I used coco perlite 70/30 mix but with added biochar and I also added 15 grams of Zamnesia monster bud slow release fert. I then fed her just oh water and cal/mag for the first 3 weeks and then the same as 5 gallon fabrics from week 4. Initially her run off was off the scale but she seemed to thrive none the less and took over the other 2, run off has now levelled out to match the fabrics. I’m having to feed her up to 3 times a day at the moment due to the size of the pot. Next grow I will definitely be using bio char and monster bud in the larger pots in combination with the Hesi nutes.
