When should I add dyna-Gro nutes to my soil since I am using Mother's Earth Coco + Perlite?
I have the feeding schedule and full line of nutes, but I'm not sure when to begin adding the nutes to the seedling.
Coco needs to be feed with every watering from what I understand as it does not retain the Nutrients like soil would. So every time you water starting now! 👍
This was the first week and filled with many mistakes.
1. I didn't measure the distance between the light and plant. So, they were stretching for light. Originally, light was 36 inch above plants, but plants were brought up.
2. Struggled with the humidity on this because, I didn't think the tent needed an humidifier at the beginning. I ended up adding the humidifier.
3. At 5/6 days, I covered the plants with plastic cups that had holes in the top for air.
So, at first the plants were stretching for light bc the lamp was too far away. The stems were long so I added coco noir around them and brought the light closer.
Immediately the leave began to grown, but im noticing slight discoloration on both plants. I water them using 50ml of distilled water, and I spray water around a solo cup that I use a dome covers. I plan to start adding nutes tomorrow, but I'm concerned with the color of the babies.
In my opinion, using distilled water is causing the problem. Distilled water has nothing in it, unlike "normal" water which has dissolved minerals in it. By using the distilled water, the water will actually "suck up" soluble minerals to once again balance its composition, including sucking minerals from within your plants cells, causing a decline of nutrition in your plants. Water them with normal water and they should pick up soon enough and maybe give them a very weak dose of nutrients, around 10% of recommended rate and this may also liven them up, for as you know, neither coco coir or perlite have any naturally nutrients in them.
Hope this helps,.... Organoman.
So, the plants are spreading out.
I started the 2nd week of nutes with distilled water.
According to Dyna-Gro feeding schedule, I only needed to add Foliage-Pro & Pro-Tek. I also included Cal Mag.
Hello,
So, I am on the 3rd week of the dyna-gro feeding schedule, and no where near the flowering stage. I am wondering if I should repeat week 3 of the feeding scheduling until I make it to flowering stage. Also, wondering if the plants look healthy.
Hi Mate,
IMHO your damsel is way too small.
I think your damsel is nearly drowned. She isn't able to process this amount of water you giving her daily, despite she's in coco. Your roots r missing oxygen. Give her some time to dry out and go on with 250-300ml once a day!
Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way🤞

Yes repeat. Plant looks healthy. I only go about half the recommend dose by the chemicals I use on autos. Generally lighter feeders. Make sure soil ph run off stays in range and flushing out old chemicals when adding new each watering. Should have a minimum of 20 percent run off and test it. Good luck and happy growing. 🌲🌲🌲👊
