SUMMARY: I have removed the first 2 leaves from each plant as they were dying/dead. I have continued with the LST aiming to have the plants reach out to the edge of the pot and then eventually spiral around the pot to keep the height under control. The average input volume is still 2.5L though I increased this to 3L towards the end of the week as the runoff volume decreased. The runoff pH has climbed to the high end of the advised range (5.5-6.5) with the OG actually giving a runoff pH of 6.6 and so I started reducing input pH to 5.8. DAY 24 -------- Saturday 26/09/2020 08:30pm No further training required yet, the plants haven't grown enough yet, though I have readjusted the ties to ensure the plant keeps growing into the desired shape as the ties had slid/moved slightly. I removed the first 2 real leaves from the OG that had died off and I inadvertently nicked one of the new growth stems down below and so I will have stunted the growth slightly but nothing it wont recover from. Plants were due a feed and the pots felt light with coco only slightly damp 1 finger deep. I gave each plant 2.5L of week 3 strength nutes. I waited around 20mins then checked the runoff. The OG gave no runoff at all so need to keep my eye on her as her requirements have gone up. The Amnesia gave 200ml runoff at a pH of 6.3 and so both plants are now consuming more per feed. [23°C/55%] DAY 25 -------- Sunday 27/09/2020 08:00pm Coco still damp 1 finger deep so no watering. Adjusted the ties again on both as they are both growing daily though no new ties required yet as no new tops yet formed. [23°C/57%] DAY 26 -------- Monday 28/09/2020 08:30pm Both plants due a watering and they felt light with coco mildly damp 1 finger deep. I gave each plant 2.5L over the course of 5mins but no runoff so I increased to 3L then saw run off from Amnesia but none still from OG so I slowly kept giving more to the OG until I saw some runoff which ended up being 4.5L in total. The Amnesia produced 800ml runoff (27%) at a pH of 5.8 and the OG also produced 800ml runoff (18%) at a pH of 5.8. I need to ensure I keep the water and nutes at a min of 6.0. I adjusted the ties to the OG and added more to bend her to grow around the pot now she has reached the edge of the pot. The Amnesia is not growing as fast and is very short and bushy and so I ran a piece of wire from one side of the pot to the other to rest some of the lower leaves on to expose them to more light. [27°C/58%] DAY 27 -------- Tuesday 29/09/2020 08:00pm The plants weren't due a feed but as the third week is nearing an end I feel they are behind on irrigation and so I decided to feed them as an experiment as they had plenty of water yesterday. I gave each plant 2L of week 3 strength nutes at which point I could already see runoff. I left it it 30mins before collecting the runoff but didn't pH the runoff tonight as I don't have time and I only checked the other day. The Amnesia gave about 1L runoff (50%) and the OG gave about 900ml (45%). I don't think they are quite there yet in regards to needing a watering/feeding every 24hrs. I also adjusted the LST on the OG again ensuring that it is now following the shape of the pot. The Amnesia looks to be growing the same rate almost, definitely a little slower, but its just so compact. Its becoming difficult to water without touching the leaves and I got some nutes on some leaves and had to wipe of gently with my fingers (no tissue to hand). [27°C/55%] DAY 29 -------- Thursday 01/10/2020 08:30pm I didn't feed or water the plants yesterday as they had plenty on Tuesday night (day 26). The plants have responded well to the nutrients from Tuesday which makes me think I have been underfeeding them and so I am taking the advice of someone from a grow community on reddit who used the exact same "Grow Weed Easy" GHE nute schedule and advised the PPM was very low and the grow was slow going and so he upped the feedings by only watering once or twice per week and feeding 5 days per week though his were in 1gal pots (he also upped the grow and micro by 1ml per gallon which I won't be doing). The same person also advocated switching to "the Lucas formula" at around week 8 for better yields. The coco was still a bit damp 1 finger deep but plants were due a watering as per schedule however with the above in mind I fed them again with week strength nutes. I only had 6L of nutes premade and so I gave the Amnesia 2.5L and the OG 3.5 as it tends to drink more being bigger. I then left the plants for 30mins before collecting the runoff. The Amneisa gave 600ml runoff (24%) at a pH of 6.4 and the OG gave 1L of runoff (29%) at a pH of 6.6 and so I need to ensure the pH of my water and nutes is always 5.9-6.2. [26°C/55%]

How much water should I be giving seedlings? They sprouted 2 days ago and are 1-2cm tall. I am using tap water with cal mag at 1ml per litre with a pH of 6.2. using the below https://www.growweedeasy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Drain-to-Waste-Nutrient-Schedule-custom.jpg

Coco is a hydroponic medium there is no over-watering, no more than Deep Water Culture so within any reasonable use it aint that. You fertigate in coco, every watering is a feeding and they are done to 10-20% runoff no need to guess. Read this and USE it "Coco for Cannabis" by Dr M.J.Coco amazon or his site I stand by our results

How do we know when the plants need more water when grown in coco? Do I wait until the coco is completely dry up to my knuckle? (as in dig entire finger into coco up to my knuckle) or should I be watering when only the first inch or so of coco is dry?

You want Coco to always stay a bit damp . Instead of it fully drying out like soil. Don't let it dry out fully as this can increase your salts in the pots. Also fabric pots dry out quicker so you may need to water a little more than plastic pots. When I use fabrics I would water every other day in vedge and usually everyday in flower once they start needing more water . You'll know when they require more volume as there is less run off . I've now switched to plastic pots and can get away with feeding every other day , until the 5th week of flower . Never understood people feeding 3 times a day in Coco lol because I've never done that and never had any underwatering problems.

Is this a sign of over-watering? Amnesia auto in 5 gal fabric pot of coco/perlite, Day 9, temps remain between 22-25°C, RH stays between 50-65%. She's had 2.5L of water and 2.5L of low dose nutes since sprout starting at roughly 30ml on first day now up to 500ml per day

What's wrong? Canoe can be one of many things... soil might be a bit hot? light could be too close? that last one is easy to eliminate it if familiar with it. if light related -- growth will stack up ontop of itself with veritually no internode spacing... another easy way to eliminate that cause. This is less likely, so geting it out of the way. I see you are in coco coir? So, it does need fertilizer each time, but only if you fully saturate with 20% runoff to ensure no buildup occurs. Also, the first 2 weeks or so are powered by the seed anyway. The problem with a big pot and a small plant is doing this without overwatering... in coco coir you shouldn't have to worry.. get the how substrate evenly saturated with 20% runoff.. each time.. wait for a little dry on top before next. (not quite as dry as soil on top, but it should change color a bit). be prepared to wait many days before watering again... culture shock if not doing that before. this avoids algea growth up top too.

Probably irrigation residues? Observe the evolution of these spots carefully every day and check the sheet from behind. Have preventives like diatomaceous earth or potassium soap on hand. Regards!

It's quite a light green and some of the leaves are showing damage/poor health as per the pics. Under feeding? Though some of the tips of the leaves show what I thought was nute burn.

you have a ph issue. in turn is causing the plant to lock out the nutrients it nees, so flush your plant until you have a run off of 6.0 ph reading. next let the pot dry out for a few days. when you start feeding nutrients again add cal mag and feed the plant at half of what you have been giving for the first few feeds, you should see improvement in a week or so
