No pics, no other details on the grow like medium, pots, lights, how much you feed when you do. Not gonna garner much help that way.
I’m using canna coco with 3 gallon pots, 600w Viparspectra led, haven’t given any food since I planted which I used the dr earth all purpose and little bloom when I started from seed.

How are you watering? Are you just keeping the medium moist or are you drenching to runoff every day? Did you let the soil activate before planting or is it the same age as the plant? Are you using any teas/bugs?
Any organic amendments you add now will probably take a few weeks to become available to the plant. If you made the soil at planting time, those initial nutrients might just now be becoming available.

I water when dry. Soil is same age as plant. I put seed straight into coco

Coco dries faster than soils and needs to be watered and fed often dailey. If you put someting in it and only water every 4-5 days like soil its not going to thrive.
Yeah I’ve been watering every 2-3 days so what are your thoughts on adding my dry amendments to the plants I’ve read that the dr earth 4-4-4 and flower girl are slow release? I was thinking about adding some tonight. Two plants are showing white pistols already they are all auto flowers.

I don't really know about those kids of nutes. I water dailey in coco from a baby and mix nutes in the water. Coco looks and feels but is NOT the same as soil. It needs nutrients to feed the plant because it has none. Giving it food every few days when you water it is not really beneficial. You should be watering everyday and even 2x when they really flower. Its very hard to over water in coco, so don't be nervous. I would get a 1 part powder that you mix with water when you feed called Mega Crop. It is HIGHLY reviewd all you need to do is google it and journals will show. You can actually get a 300 or 750 gram sample for free just pay the shipping of $3.99. It is very good. Greenleafnutrients.com
Just as an insight i grew these 2 plants months ago in 2 liter bottles of coco watering 2x a day. You really should be feeding evey waterimg and watering atleast 1x a day.

Yeah I get nervous about overwatering my girls. Well thanks for the tips this is my first grow. Those plants are beautiful and see I’m not using any kind of feed just ph water I had to add some calmag for magnesium def. any other tips I’m all for them. Anyway you could send me like your way of doing everything I would love to produce some plants like that or help me out with mine I have now. We’re yours autos or photo.
Also what are your thoughts on low stress training I can’t seem to get it down for my plants to be a month old I figured I would have more growth but they are barely any undergrowth where new bud sites would form. Just struggling for first time grow.

Those 2 were photos but you can find bigger pictures of growers that do what i did with autos. 1 such guy here is Swisha85. In half gal pales he grew plants pushing over 4 oz. Coco does need extra cal mag so thats a plus. Coco is easy, just needs fo get nutes from the human. Water dailey and use nutes every watering. Thats really all. Always have a bit of perlite in it, don't let it dry oit cause salts build up and can lockout the plants(flushi g does not help in coco cause it starves the plant of all the nutes you put into the coco and builds up these salts). As for training you could top(it absolutely works well on autos before flower), you can just put string or twisty ties and gently tie each stem close to the outside of the pot.

Follow Canuck on YouTube .... he runs Gaia green in coco same kind of run you are doing. When reached out about not being able to get Gaia green here in USA , we talked about dr.earth dry fertilizer.
It works very well and Flower Girl. Watch how he amends with it and top dress feedings.
They look good.....

So I think I’m going to get that free sample from Mega Crop. Since there is some fertilizer in the coco from the beginning how much of the mega crop should I add to water? I use a 5 gallon bucket for my water I would just add to that. Like I said they are almost a month old.

Since they are already established id go 4 grams per gal of water.
Okay great thanks for the help.

Just an fyi. It was 500gr and 6.99 for shipping I believe. I went on earlier today to get some.
Also good info on watering!

Damn, the samples were 300 gr when i got a few so thats cool as hell. Shipping is a deal an a half when you see the results people get using it. Its really good. To get enough to go through a whole grow on a sample shows they want people to know about them. You won't be disappointed. Some feed higher at 5-6 gr per gal depending if they like it or not but 4 is a really good place to start.
