First time coco grower
Hazeterpzstarted grow question 4y ago
Hello friends, i have a problem with my runoffph in my coco. Last time that I checked it was at 5.6 but I feeded at 6.3. Today I wanted to arrange that by feeding at 6.5 but the runoff is still at 5.6, I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. My plants are not growing anymore.SOS

Coco does not buffer the pH of nutrient solution as effectively as soil and therefore it is critical to set the pH of the nutrient solution inflow within the range of 5.5 to 6.5. Because different nutrients are soluble at different pH, it is best to allow the pH to drift up and down within the range on successive fertigation events. During the majority of the grow your inflow pH should fluctuate around an average of 5.9. However, during the seedling and ripening phases it is best to target somewhat higher in the range (6.1-6.3).

They are not growing because you have them in totally inadequately sized tiny cups.
At this size, they will already be root bound in those tiny cups.
Black plastic pots about 4 inches across and 5 inches deep are almost ideal for the first 3 weeks of a seedlings life. If looked after and cleaned between grows, the black plastic pots will last for years and also provide the totally dark conditions vital for root development.
Also, your seedlings do not need to be covered or have artificially heightened humidity, they need good air exchange for proper growth and good air circulation for strong stems.
Hope this helps,..........

Dropping pH in runoff is often due to overfeeding. Test your EC in the runoff, I'd be willing to bet that it's a lot higher coming out.

Dont worry over PH runoff in coco DTW I assume.
You can check PPM it has some meaning but PH is not useful on outgoing.

Slow growth yellow leaf edges what to do?Plant growing slowly (but still growing) with weak growth tips and yellow edges on leaves with interveinal chlorosis. Looks like overwatering / magnesium deficiency to me. I use a weighing scale to know when to water, but started the plant in 25L pot so this might have caused it.

The Edges aren't really crispy/dry. Is it maybe too much wind ( Windburn ) ? The Plant is receiving a slight breeze and the leaves are all shaking a bit.

Help branches breaking in flowerHelp. Several branches in late flower have fell over and they have basically snapped but not broke off. Should each branch be removed. I'm looking for the safest route. Chop the branches? Leave them hang and forget it? Or chop the whole plant in fear its been over stressed. Help!

Willing doming this stunted plant help it recover from its early trauma? I have attached photos of progress from the past 2 weeksThis journal has become an experiment in the resilience of this plant. When it was 2 days old I water and washed the germinated seed out of the peat pod, and have been trying to allow it to recover at its own pace which it has been, but is very stunted and behind it sisters.

Hulkberry turning dry and leafs are bending upHulk berry auto flower leaves turning dry.
Hey, my Hulkberry is not doing so good, I assume this is due to overfeeding it with fertilizer. Right now I just flushed the plant with 6.1 pH water and I'm waiting to see if it helps. What more can I do?

Too Much Light?I think I have severly stunted my girls. Maybe I am comparing too much to other growers. My light has been hanging at 29in at 100% which was the recommendation. I think I damaged them. Can they recover? I saw a diary with the same light/strain at a hang height of 30in @60% power.

Runoff pH is high, plant is not vibrant green and there's a leaf deformity.Guys, if anyone knows, my coco runoff pH is coming out at a constant 6.8, should I pay attention to it? I feel like it should be lower and that's why the color is not as vibrant as it should be. Also, one of the leaves has a deformity, maybe it's genetic maybe it's my doing?
