Does my autoflowering plant look okay after topping

Chimken
Chimkenstarted grow question 5 years ago
I did topping on week #3 and have been doing LST during the last 4 days. I feel I over-stressed the plant. Seems like it's to small for it's age. Please take a look at the photos I have attached and say: Does my plant look okay as for a middle of the 4th week of vegetation?😐

Ok so 1st it ain't Hydro , it's coco growing with automatic irrigation , it's not the same , it's similar but not the same as you can't over water in hydro but it's possible in coco and there are more little differences like that. That said there is a similarity in hydro and coco : you are feeding straight from day one and the week 2 EC can be around 1.2/1.4 with healthy plant , so you need to feed and the dosage is significantly higher than in soil growing , what I can see is that you are not telling us which ec/ppm level you are running so it could be too low ans the plant is running out of nuts( not too high or the symptoms would have been differents ) The ph is wrong , correct it to 5.8 the sweet spot in coco and stick to 5.8 , measure the water runoff PH too to know how much the variation of ph between the input and the output is high and correct the input according to the output : ex 5.6 output then water with 6 ph to get back to 5.8ph quickly

Hey man Your PH is high starving the plant, depending on what you are using to test it the 5.9-6.0 range keeps you in a very good place. If you havent already may want to calibrate your pen if thats what you use. All I will do is point you to the book I use to grow from if you read it you will understand what you are doing and kill the guess work. Up to you, he also has a web site thats free. https://www.amazon.com/Coco-Cannabis-Growers-Dr-M-J-ebook/dp/B07G9LR4W2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dr+mj+coco&qid=1586393163&sr=8-1

Hi @Chimken the plant seems to me stressed and is lacking in nitrogen, it may be that the pH is too high, the roots do not absorb enough nitrogen, adjust the pH of the irrigation water to 5.8 and slightly increase the nitrogen dose. good luck mate 👍
