Fed seedling woth 4.0 phd water

Just planted the seedling in coco and gave it a first water with a tiny bit of calmag and ff big bloom.

i first put too much ph down and the water went to 4.0. Then i forgot to correct that and fed it that water.

should i do anything to correct it?

facepalm - is the only appropriate response to everything the OP said....

please do some amount research before you try to grow and post stupid things....

save your effort and our time.

You should probably take your whole setup, move it to the street, pour gas on it, light it on fire and walk away.

Next spend some time learning wtf you are doing then try again....

Happy growing!

Well that is a very helpful post you twat. Do you feel better about yourself? Why spend your time replying to cut me down? That alone speaks volumes about your character

I HAVE read a ton. AND if you were unaware there is a plethora of conflicting and stupid(like your post above) information on the internet. As a result I thought to ask a question here. If this is a forum for advanced and flawless growers than I am now informed.

so just one last time if you didnt catch it above: go fuck yourself

Why are you feeding a seedling Big Bloom?.. but yeah.. correct your ph and flush it.

I am using this chart to guide me. The plant sprouted 7/11 in a peat pellet and roots were coming out so I needed to plant it sooner than I planned and my nutrients arent here yet. I read bigbloom can be used the entire grow cycle. I errantly thought a tiny amount of it would suffice until monday.....Thanks for the help, Ill flush

Yep, I am being a dick.

I usually don’t even reply to posts like this, but I started drinking while I was cooking today and here we are....

Coco is a very productive medium, but also one of the most difficult to master, this makes it a poor choice for a first time grow.

You should not feed seedings a nutrient that is specifically intended for flowering plants.

I won’t even address the 4 ph water........

Does this advice sound more reasonable?

I still think my first suggestion was better.

Happy growing!

appreciate the more respectful post, minus the closing zinger

Fox farms recommends big bloom at seedling. Growweedeasy has a flora schedule that calls for nutrients for seedlings.
I point this out to show the conflicting info out there, not to refute your input.

is growweedeasy.com a reputable site?
if not can you point me to a body of information about growing in coco that I can learn from?

Feed quarter strength nutes every day to run off at the right ph.
All there is to it mate. 13 words. Do that and you don't need to know the rest.
200ppm for seedlings.
500ppm for veg.
Ph5.7-6.3
Feed every day to full saturation and run off.
And just to state the obvious, use veg nutes for veg and bloom nutes for bloom lol.
Honestly is that simple though mate.
You'll get folk trying to confuse you with all sorts of nonsense but just do that and you can't go wrong. Cocos a doddle man. Easiest way to grow :)

thanks a bunch
 
coco seems like a difficult medium unless you really know what you're doing. Good luck with it.
Coco is super easy for beginners, in my mind. It’s an empty sponge, beginners basically just need to pick a nutrient line to try.

It’s resistant to over-watering and getting root bound (and small containers make big plants), resistant or unwelcoming to a lot of pests, and is reusable.

If you’re going to be unpleasant, at least be accurate :P

I guess this is a matter of opinion, but I and many consider coco to be real easy for beginners. It has several benefits and a couple of caveats, like any grow medium, but coco drain to waste is super easy to master. You just make sure what is going in is correct. And since you can’t truly over water coco coir, if you fuck up, you just reset the medium.

It has most of the ease and familiarity of soil, but with no variables like soil buffers and overwatering and nutrient depletion.

It has most of the productivity of hydro, but without the pumps for oxygenation and circulation. There’s no expensive tables, trays, or plumbing like flood and drain or NFT.

It’s only difficult to master if you don’t pay attention to inflow pH and EC. Speaking of which...

You should not feed seedings a nutrient that is specifically intended for flowering plants.
Eh. I and many others have used the “Lucas formula” with MaxiBloom, FN Bloom, or FloraBloom + Micro mixed to varying EC throughout the whole last life cycle. It’s a common beginner formula, because you just mix to different strengths.

I don’t necessarily agree with or recommend it, but I mention it to point out that EC matters more than the picture on the bottle — you can feed seedlings with bloom fert, but you need to make sure it’s at an appropriate EC for seedlings. I am feeding clones with MaxiBloom @0.4 EC and it works great.

I won’t even address the 4 ph water........
Yeah, agreed. I’ll address it - OP, fucking up PH and EC is one of the the worst things you can do regardless of what grow medium, seed stock, light ounce, temp, fan, tent, or good vibes you supply. It’s something people don’t pay enough attention to.

If you mess up the PH on a tank, do not just feed it through, ever. Soil or hydro. If you don’t fuck up the grow medium, you don’t have to reset it.

I guess what I meant about coco being difficult is that I see post after post here where someone is growing in coco and they've screwed it up. Instead of a plant problems forum we need a Plant Success forum where growers using different methods can post how they achieve success. That would be the most helpful thing. The truth is that any medium is probably easy in its own right but it's the grower making mistakes that's the problem. Sad part is, there's money to be made by the ignorance of people. Just ask the legal system. They will say the same.

This isnt about awareness of ph. I asked a straightforward question......’i accidnetally fed my plant ph 4 water. What should i do?’ 1 person in 14 posts answered it.

..................i flushed the plant and it seems to be alright. I will keep you updated :cool:

I don’t give a shit about your question, I’m not here to answer your stupid questions. Although it was addressed in there — of course you should flush it, and not do dumb things like feed @4.0 anyway. This isn’t your personal plant oracle, if you don’t like General conversation developing from dumb questions then maybe keep them to yourself.

I take back what I said, pitch it all in the trash.

Dude... I see you're new here. Chill out. Im sure you had dumb questions at some point in your growing career. Newbies are what you were at some point as well, they just prob didn't have keyboard warriors at the time. We like to make people feel welcome and help as much as possible no matter how simplistic the question may seem to you or any other experienced growers. That's how you learn shit. .. ask questions.
