Off to a very nice start, good luck the rest of the way!

Coming along nicely👍good luck with the grow🌱

@SmokinTrees, I will definitely follow you. I have been very unorganized with this diary and this grow, but learning at a rapid rate which is awesome. I forgot to add calmag to the diary but I have been applying 2mL every fertigation. At the very least one of my plants are quite over-watered, which isn't necessarily a coco-issue, which is why you'll see over-watering in coco, even though it has little to do with the coco. My humidity levels were too high early and my medium was too large for the size of the plant from transplanting too early and after 3 days of no watering it was still damp at the top of the medium. I had fabric pots sitting on a saucer and it wasn't until recently that I noticed that when I inspected the medium the bottom of the pots were having serious drainage complications. After a little research I found a couple growers who experienced this issue and told me I can't leave pots sitting in saucers because there is little room at the bottom for air to dry and I will have uneven moisture levels throughout the medium. I'm thinking about adding a small layer of perlite to the bottom of my final 3 gallon pot on the last transplant. I found some metal cookie sheets that separated the saucer from the pots so that airflow can get to the bottom of the pots. Several plants are suffering from leaf cupping upwards/folding and all signs point to heat stress, although my temperatures are always within 79-82 F. I read that poor drainage will most definitely cause leaf cupping and when combined with high temps the leaf curls to preserve moisture, but some of the leaves have really folded more than I am comfortable with so I am hoping I remedied this. I tried to gently move and break up the coco so it wasn't compact and dense. I took one of my plants that look healthy with no signs of leaf cupping and positioned it directly in the center of the light where it should be the hottest. If it starts to show signs of leaf cupping then I know I just need to raise the lights.

There is no such thing as over watering Coco. If you check out my grow we can follow each other and help each other out if your interested! I use mother earth Coco as well for first time. There is the fact that because Coco has absolutely no nutrients what so ever you need to feed that Coco with Calimagic every watering along with other nutes. Coco loves calcium and magnesium and will soak up all of it before your plants get any and plants need the calcium and magnesium as well. Look up Fertigation in Coco and I think you will agree that your plants need the Calimagic NOW!😳 Happy Growing!👍
