Wings Roommate watched plant towards the end of this week, seeing a little bit of yellowing on the tip of one of the original leaves. I was using the same nutrient solution all week and PH got a little bit high. Just replaced solution going into week 2. Still have not figured out how to use the EC meter.

Wings Day 8- returned to my plant, there is a dead part on one of my original leaves, I am hoping this is due to the old nutrient solution. PH'd the old solution (a week old) and it was only a bit higher than acceptable (using a chemical, not pen, to check). Day 9 - Did a bad thing and transplanted into a larger pot. This may screw up my plant, it was my first time transplanting and I was a bit rough, we will see. I was working on getting a Raspberry Pi irrigation system set up and wanted to move it out of the cup into a larger pot where I could water it automatically. I have now abandoned this idea and am moving to Tropf blumats for fertigation. Also learned how to use "EC meter", turns out I want TDS in ppm. Currently feeding 600ppm nute cocktail. The plant is looking a bit yellow around the edges of the older leaves, hoping this is just me over analyzing as it is a pretty green yellow. Ultimately decided to put a clear tupperware on top of the plant to try to keep humidity relatively high, moved light down a bit as the tupperware is slightly opaque. Day 9.5 - Noticed some yellowing on the tips of my new growth about 8 hours after feeding with 600ppm nutes. Lowered ppm to 400 and flushed plant with new solution. 600ppm was way too high for a seedling. I also have chosen to adopt Dr. Cocos feed chart, as I noticed that the GH trio bottle was having me put equal parts Micro and Bloom during veg stage. This is not ideal. Was doing 5ml/gal of Micro, Gro and Bloom. Day 10 - Plant seems healthy, still feeding the 1:1:1 ratio nutes at 400 ec. Finally finished my controller, working on a daughterboard for the pi so I can get rid of those wires. Day 11- plant looks dope, I wish I had a fan though, the stalk is very thin. Day 12 - all gucci, feeding new nute cocktail at 400ec, following NER suggested in Dr. Coco's feedchart Day 13 - Mag deficiency emerged, treated with epsom salt foliar. Improved drainage system as well. Upped nute cocktail to 650ppm, switched to new feed chart. Day 14 - plant looks good, fell over last night but has recovered.

Hey dude and welcome to the community! They are nothing to worry about really, sometimes they fall off sometimes they don't. What I would worry about is giving nutrients so early because you can see its already damaging the plant (the yellow leaf tips) I would hold off for one more week on nutes and then start to add little by little. As we say on the kitchens, "you can always add but can't take away"

Wings Day 14 - added blumats last night as I am going away for the weekend. They seem to work wonderfully and went through all of the nute solution I added to the rez last night Day 16- Blumats seem to be working, struggling to adjust them properly. Day 16 - Leaving! Hope she survives Day 18 - Got update pic from roommate, looks good! Day 21 - back, struggling with blumats. I can't tell if im under or over watering or what. Not a fan Day 22 - Plant has perked up a bit

Wings, I feel you actually may be under watering your plants. I would give her a through flushing and then a good saturated handed. Coco really cant be overwatered in a fabric pot. Coco is inert and needs to be recharged regularly with feedings as well as flush out what the plant didnt uptake. If your coco is getting dry to the point it blows easily, it's way too dry. For the size of your plant, a good handfeed to runoff every other day should do it until flowering kicks in and once or more per day. She will tell you. Do not listen to certain growers on here that have never grown in coco and only soil and tell you to treat it like soil and they're dead wrong. I do not have much experience for the flora series nutes with cannabis but I would recommend the frequent feedings at 2/3 strength and see if she turns around. I would put the blumats aside unless you have to head out of town again. Hopefully this helps. Happy growing!

@Ga4rd2en0er, done with blumats lol. Don't worry, I understand high frequency fertigation and its benefits. Its just really hard to actually implement with blumats. I already had everything for an electronic pump feeder set up to feed twice a day so now its back to that with a few changes. Plant seems much happier now

@Wings,I too really wanted to make them work. I'm gonna give the blumats a go in my soil culinary herb garden outside with just plain water feeding as they were intended. It's nice they're "off the grid" but to unreliable for such a sensitive plant. Cheers!

Oh if you want to thumb through some blumat diaries, check out my "gettin sticky with it" and "Hi I'm Dory". I did not implement them until I was getting into flowering so You may have to scan the first several weeks until you see they're installed. In my notes on the diaries you will see me pulling my hair out in real time.

I hope my grow question answer helped with figuring out the blumats. They are definitely tricky in coco. If you have any more questions, or are looking into another feed system for frequent fertigations in coco, I am happy to help. You are doing well, and good luck with the grow! 👍
