Hi. Is it worth putting my 5 in plastic pots into ...

Hi @StokieNick. No do not transplant your autos to fabric pots at this time. Autos do not like transplanting. Autos have a short life span and can't recuperate before flower. For autos, Plant your seed or sprout directly into the final pot. Use your fabric pots on the next grow. Happy growing 🌱 and have fun 🎉

@Diy_Autoflowers, as mentioned in the diary, it’s coco my friend. You can’t leave it for few days and expect good results. Doing so will make the plant grow as in soil, which is just not the way coco must be used.

Feeding in coco every 3rd watering is not a good idea. You need to find a balance in feeding every watering. Coco is hydro. Also coco has ability to steal Calcium and Magnesium from solution and release Sodium and Potassium so that Ca and Mg will be locked. That’s why high-quality coco always comes pre-buffered with CalMag. Even one single watering without nutes can break the balance and cause lockout. I would just focus on feeding every time with 600-700 ppm at this stage with at least 10% runoff. Frequent watering requires less ppm. Watering with long intervals requires higher ppm, but in such case there’s a risk of salt build up, and coco will not release its full potential as a hydro substrate. Remember it’s almost impossible to overwater in coco.
