COCO Bricks / No Buffering
PlanTings
started grow question 5y ago
Has anyone ever planted on coco bricks without buffering the coco and only adding water? I don't think my bricks were pre-buffered. If you have mistaken and done like me, have your plants survived, and were they healthy?

Yes... I do with the floraflex quick fill bags/bricks. But they are pre washed and buffered... no issues yet. Good luck.

Grow diary promotion system?
How does the promotion system on GD work? I just went from Newbie to apprentice, and I’m unsure what that means or what the different levels indicate other than those who have more experience than others. Any help shedding light would be appreciated ✌️

Specks don't appear to be bugs .. I can say that the leaves do feel rather dry to the touch also. not ruling out bugs , definitely possible. either the nute water splashed on it causing a burn or there are bugs I'm guessing the 2 most likely reasons for the brown and small holes.

Drooping Leaves
There is complete drooping of the leaves.According to my research, it 's caused by overwtering.What should I do at this stage?And is the problem really overwatering? I didn't turn it off today because when the lights are off, the plant will droop more.Do you think I did it right?

Hermies?
These two plants got hardly any frost are way behind the others and buds and leaves look different to all the others... anything I need to worry about are they just slower and different phenotype ? Or could it be a hermie ? I don’t know what to do with them 🤷♂️
