First let me say I would LOVE to have a room like that! Ew the things I would do in that room, they would be so lovely.

Learning to water properly is the number one issue I see here. For the size of the plants the light shouldn't really be a big issue.

Obviously it could have been more ideal to have smaller pots but I think trying to transplant again now would probably kill these plants.

I think you need to check the humidity in that room, I bet with 4 HID lights it is dry as hell. Which will screw with the plants water/nutrient usage and growth.

I believe with coco it is usually recommended not to let it completely dry out. Also 6.5 ph is too high. I believe most people run coco like hydro and keep ph between 5.8 and 6.0

Growing inside in coco is way different then outside in dirt.

In all reality I think these plants are probably a loss. If you are only in for $500 then that's not bad. If the dude takes the advice an fixes things great. If not tell him you want a pound I his outdoor :). Either way I would go a head and right it all off now in your head. So if you get nothing your not upset.

Everyone thinks growing weed is super easy , but there is a lot more to growing good weed then anyone realizes until they try :).

I'm tempted to send him this post to see what he says. He doesnt know I post stuff like this.

Don't bother, instead offer to either take it over so he can focus on his outdoor or take 500 bucks worth of equipment, lights, fans etc....

Repurpose that equipment into your own grow. If you like his genetics take a couple of those and then follow the instructions you've been given here.

That room would be nice. But it's more than I would want or need. I'm happy with my little setup. With so many other things to do I don't have time for anything bigger. Well maybe if I stayed off the forums.


But yeah, 6.5 is high for coco. I've been running 6.0 for years. Nothing but healthy plants. Coco is so easy because you control everything you give your plants. I don't understand how you could screw things up that bad. I have plants bigger than that under T5's right now that are healthy. Looking at that picture of the grow room is brutal. So much potential.

If someone asked me to fix that grow the first thing I would do is start some more seeds then go through the room and rip up all those plants. It doesn't matter if the plants can be saved. They're screwed. A seed I plant today will likely be doing better in four weeks than any of those plants regardless of what's done to them.

We also don't know much about what the guys doing. He's got those plants under HPS. I wonder if he's got them on 12/12 already and feeding them bloom nutes.

I would scrap that grow. Starting again from seed correctly would be better than nursing those things along just to limp over the finish line.

These are just under T5's in 3 gallon pots of 100% coco and topped a few days ago. I know what I could do with that room.

He never uses seeds only clones. He's actually told me not to start from seed bc of obvious reasons
