Is it normal for coco to go a kind of a light brown on top around the edge of the fabric pot? Do you think my seeds are where they should be for their age 7-8 days old? They dont seem to have grown much in last 2 days?

mate,good luck for your first grow,very good decision to start with coco.I'm also trying the coco for the first time,I've grown in soil before and made some searches on internet about coco,trying it now and LOVED IT! Coco is really the way to go.But,I was always told that coco needs to be fertilized each watering.Because it doesnt contain any nutrients unlike soil.You got your own answer to this question ; ",will start feeding on the 8th day," . you should start feeding from day 1 in coco.that's why they are indeed small for a week old plant.They look green and healthy but if you don't start feeding soon, you'll see those first ever single leaves getting yellow meaning plant eating itself.Feed it and watch how it thrives. Other question,coco being brown around the edges.It is normal,means that part is dry.Only water there you think their roots reached in the pot.outer parts are still empty,no roots there,no need to spill water there.Dry coco looks light brown,yours is just dry around the edges,pretty normal.

2 of my plants are falling behind the other 2 leaders,about a 100mm in height difference, I don't have another tent to put them in so hopefully they catch up,might start giving them small amounts of pk13/14 next week One of my plants has had slight yellowing of the leaves all the way through the grow,I have removed then so far Not sure what to do with it tbh,last 3 photos show what I mean It's weird because all 4 have been getting the exact same amount of water and nutrients Maybe some of the experienced growers might have some advice

1 of the plants have yellow leaves and fell dry and some are brown,I have no idea why this one is like that,the average of the 4 plants height is 670 but two of the are in excess of 800 and the other two are around 500mm or so which is a bit of a nuisance with light height , probably a result of poor LST methods I believe

Looks like I have 2 dominant cookie plants and 2 dominant gorilla plants. Will be interesting to see what the final yield will be seeing as this is my first grow. I received some bad advice from a mate that thought he knew what he was talking about, he told me to prune the lower branches, it made sense to me at the time but turns out it was a huge mistake and you should never prune autoflowers ESP during flowering according to the forums im involved in. I really hope this action isn't too detrimental to my final yield. The plants are still really thirsty especially the two taller gorilla type plants. Learnt so much from this first grow already, thinking of trying northern lights autos next grow Will up the terpinator next week I reckon.

The girls are getting there now, the light pruning I done last week doesn't seem to have affected then too much from what I can see but I'm no expert Buds coming on 2 of the plants Other two seem a bit farther behind Will have to harvest in stages me thinks Thanks for all the support guys

One of my plants sugar leaves is turning yellow and brown, the rest of them are doing fine but ,nice and green with trichomes galore Not sure if I should just harvest the one with yellow and brown leaves or keep it going ,has a lot of white pistils still but I don't want to get bud rot and I think the buds will look shit from it I feel lime 2 of the plants should be doing better andbwonder if the bad advice I got a couple of weeks ago regarding pruning is having a major effect on the buds development

One of my plants sugar leaves is turning brown and yellow but still has a lot of white pistils First grow so I'm not sure whether to cut it down and harvest it as it is or if the brown and yellow leaves aren't doing it any harm and wait for more of the pistils to turn orange

The problem started in week 8! You would have been best to ask the question then, it looks like a mixture of calcium and magnesium defeciency alongside a pk defeciency. Could have been caused by not enough nutrients or a ph lockout. 👍🌱

Hi @Mossyman88 seems to me to be a lack of calcium and PH variations. in this final flowering stage there is not much to do, you can cut some larger leaves that are more damaged, they can rot and bathe mold and pass to the buds. good luck in flowering mate 👍

Planta didnt get tk scalea until weeks 13-17 I don't know if it was beginners luck or what for my first grow I never thought I would get anywhere this yield,maybe it was because I uses pk 12/14 over 3 weeks instead of one and had my lights on for 24 hours For anyone wondering what I did with the runt of the litter that gave me problems from the start I cut it down at week 10-11 and got 3 ounces of average weed off of it The second smallest plant yielded 4 ounces The second best yielded 8 ounces and the last monster yielded over 11 ounces Started another grow now of northern lights and royal cookies Had loads of fun growing my first batch. Some of the jars have 2 ounces in them if anyone is wondering why jars don't match final tally The last plant I flushed too early and ended up giving it some more nutrients to finish it off so it didn't get to the scales until week 17
