So I've been giving them 10ml per 1gallon of my nutrient solution....and 3-5ml calmag as well. and it seems to be too much for 2 of them.

So should I change their feed to maybe water,mix,water or water, water, feed etc?

Clearly the little amount im feeding is too much for them. So im thinking instead of putting less nutrients i just do some regular watering in-between

All photos in mother earth coco

Feeding the two that are starting to get burnt the same as the front right (biggest one)

And they're clawing a little and looking burnt.

So im wondering if I back off a little and give them some regular water instead of feed everytime if it will help get them back on track20201122_032858.jpg
this ones fine. Using FF trio on her. ^20201122_032853.jpg
this PE has the most damage using BBB pt 1 10ml per 1 gallon of water 20201122_032847.jpg
GDP not looking so hot. Minor damage. 20201122_032840.jpg
ssh is doing GREAT no problems at all. 20201121_183625.jpg
Light is at 21" temps 77⁰ rh 60%

I give them a cup of feed(nutrient mix) here and there to keep the coco moist.

First time in coco. I really want to fix this before it gets worse. Hopefully feeding the two getting burnt less is the solution.

It could be too much or not enough.
One thing is for sure, the information you've given, is not enough.

Fit perfect in those 12 inch plastic saucers. Those rises also sit perfect inside a 5 gallon bucket.

In the photo you can see the risers into the tent with the 12 inch plastic saucers. Also one riser inside a 5 gallon bucket. Easy to drain for run off right in the pail.

Do you grow in coco? I know you're supposed to keep it moist. But even as seedlings. Seems like they're overwatered even giving them 2 cups a day.
Yes I grow in coco. You seem to only read what you want though, I'm not even sure you are really reading this now. Your plants are overwatered. You stated in this thread you give them a cup of nutrients about every hour. That's bad this early. Feed them once a day to slight runoff and don't touch them until the next day. Multiple feeds only work in a pot with established roots.

I gave you a link in another of your threads. It explains everything from planting the seed to the end of seedling stage.

How to care for seedlings in coco.

Also your idea to give them plain water is not good. Don't do it.

I said I give them a cup of water every couple of hours. No more than 2 a day. But I have been feeding them mix everytime. No regular water. I understand now. I need to give them plain water sometimes. And I need to water them less as they're small and the roots are not established.

I know you said no regular water. But they have N tox.... so wouldn't I need regular water to fix this?

whats the N in your calmag. maybe your buffer is out in the substrate, if the coco dries it will shoot your EC thru the roof. id suggest totally soaking it seems unusual because in soil this would be counter intuitive but in coco you need it damp for proper CEC.
never feed reg water it will wash out ur buffer u need to have balance in your medium

OH OKAY YES ITS MY CALMAG well FUCK

How do I fix this.

My part 1 is 5-4-2 and part 2 is 2-4-1

So maybe I should start using my part two instead of part 1 with calmag?

Or less?

do you need to feed both parts or is it grow and bloom? I would use both together in lower ppm then changing the ratios by using one less then the others
