10 plants can be a lot to deal with, especially when half of that will fill the same space. Will your light cover corner to corner of this grow, if not youโ€™ll have a few less than prize winning plants taking up space that end up producing - not much. More may not be better. Feeding clones. Their root system takes off pretty fast once they get going. But it can take from 2 weeks to a month to get them to start rooting. So feeding them really depends on the root structure. Once they start growing and new growth is evident it is ready for a light feeding. Base it on the growth from there out. Donโ€™t kill them with light starting off, DLI of about 15 is good until they take root, then gradually increase it until they are well established. Observe your clones closely, they need TLC. The humidity needs to stay high so they donโ€™t wilt. PH is a necessary must to keep correct. Sure it can and does drift. But checking and keeping it in check once a day will do wonders with young plants. Older plants can handle the drift a little better. Donโ€™t think it doesnโ€™t matter.

Hello Lozaa, I will do my best to answer your questions. 1st off I would note that the clones in the pictures are very dry. I would not let the plugs get completely dry like that for more than an hour or so. Because they are well rooted already, they should be quite strong so you're probably good. That is the wilting. I agree with the other person, 10 ladies is quite a bit for a 4x4. You would have to basically trim and train them to be single cola plants more or less. Why not just easily grow 4 plants in a 4x4 and do a lot less training. I primarily run hydroponics, but my experience with coco is that it is somewhere in between soil and hydro. PH kind of reflects that. 5.7-6.3 PH It is a very airy mix that requires frequent watering because it dries back faster than soil. That's good, but also more work. your clones are well ready for nutrients. Don't get crazy though, start with like 1/5 concentration of whatever you normally top out at. clones need very little nutrients. They are barely able to photosynthesize yet. Same with the light. Start low and work up, don't blast them immediately with 800watts. They can't use it yet. A drip irrigation system would be awesome because of the frequent waterings required for coco. Look around at other coco grows to get a feel for the timing on when to water. It may be something to try for your next grow though, those clones need to get transplanted soon. A simple irrigation system would include a bucket, pump, about 6 feet of 1/4 tubing, a few 1/4" fittings and a timer, that's it. drip irrigation systems may clog because of nutrient salts building up and drying out in the tubing. Run shorter and quicker drip cycles to keep the lines wet and not overwater your girls. don't hesitate to ask any further questions, I love to offer my terrible advice at will. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

whats perfect ph for growing in coco ? PH is a range and in the pot it will be all over the place with highs and lows, never just one PH. I am for aything between 6.2-6.8 outside of it also works for most thing. what pot size for 10 ladies in a 5 x 3.6 space ? (same area size as 4x4 tent) depends how big you want them to get. 10 pots in a 4x4 is a good ammount, 2gal or 3gal could work well. I am currently doing 8 plants in a 2x4 in 2gal. its a bit to tight and more room would be good but it is what it is. whens perfect time to introduce nutrients to clones ? If the clones are also in coir, right away. Coir is void of nutrients and if not buffered will take ca and mg from the plant. does not need to be wrong but something is needed. am i better off using irrigation system ? Maybe, if you don't like watering by hand then yes. if you don't mind then no.

The space will fill with a couple or just the 1 plant mate and will save you money on pots and not have to water them all, might sound silly now but wait till your amongst it all. Do yourself a favour and just do a few fill your space and get same weight back.. 5.8 - 6ph for coco. Good luck.

Thats alot of plants for a 4x4, probably 1 gallon pots or 1 mega pot. Given these conditions and clean source water, the nutrient solution pH can be anywhere from 5.4 to 6.5 pH, although 5.7-6.1 is preferred. Clones don't get nutes until they reroot. If you don't understand watering yet don't upgrade to irrigation system. Although in 1 gallon pots with coco you will possibly need to water frequently. Jist make sure to do your homework on coco before you begin. Good luck ๐Ÿ‘
