In coco, water with nutrients every day! The pH of the solution should be 5.6-5.7 pH. It's time to start feeding with nutrients! Begin with 50% of the dose recommended by the manufacturers of your nutrients for the vegetative period. As the plant grows and develops, slightly increase the nutrient dose, but don't exceed the recommendations! 👆 Try to water with enough liquid so that 2-3 centimeters of the coco surface dries out within 24 hours. If you have a 20-liter pot and you've just transplanted, start watering with 400-500 ml around the plant so that the roots grow wide in search of moisture. After a week, you can water with 1 liter; it will be ready for that! 👌 It's recommended to water the plant in adulthood with no more than 10% of the substrate volume! That is, in your case, a maximum of 2 liters! But it can get too hot, and it may drink a lot, so you might need 2.2 liters after the middle of flowering, towards the end of the harvest. 👆 Good luck, buddy! ✊😇

In coco, there is no oxygen deprivation; there is always oxygen in coco if you water it a little bit every day! Coco breathes even without watering, which is why it evaporates water faster than soil! Coco is not soil! Coco is hydroponics!!! 👆 If you have 50% soil in your coco, then it's SOIL and not coco!!! 👌 There is no overwatering in coco if you water according to the technique! You can overwater in coco if you pour 50% of the substrate volume! And even then, the plant will keep living, it will just be a bit upset! Soil compacts with extensive watering; even drip irrigation in soil can be fatal for the plant if you don't calculate the liquid input volumes!!! 👆

Hey friend, I don’t want to rush you to feed your plant when the soil is still wet and also don’t know that’s your real problem.I think temp 29 could be alittle bit hot for plant and also you are using HID 400W.Distance about 14inch as you mentioned in your diary.How about you lift your light alittle higher and try to cooler your plant.That’s my solution to you.Happy growing... ✌️

Should be able to stick at least half a index finger and feel dry. Textile pots are amazing because you can feel them without getting dirty, if the bottom sides feel little bit wet, you can go a little longer without water, and will help to develop stronger roots.

Usually better to let them dry out, specially when they are small/seedlings
