I recently transplanted my month and half old gsc extreme photoperiod plant. First I figured it out it had a water issue where the ph is high which I fixed, it also went through slight overwatering while I was gone. ik this strain takes longer then most to grow but it seems to have slowed down the. Here they are B570E3A6-EEC7-49AF-A24B-F118C9744EA4.jpeg13933E6F-7BFA-42CE-8F90-D0955233D727.jpeg3192B45F-7C8C-4F77-A0FC-D7AC4DC71B17.jpegD3A3EC69-72F0-4572-BAFF-6181C68A38AD.jpeg
the small ones are are about a month I’m pretty sure it’s a potassium deficiency bc one of the plants did fall over so the root isn’t sturdy and I’m using ffof on the big plant and coco coir on the little pots. Someone pls confirm and give me advice pls and thank you!

I also need some advice and guidance!!..we purchased a bag of potting soil an it had been outside and had been pretty much froze...So after it thawed out it seems really cakey..like thick and wetter than normal!!..Do we just spread it out on something and let some air get to it?

Hey At least you know there's no fungus knats or other pests in there. I been keeping my bagged soil in my cold trunk just for that purpose. Try to fluff it with your hands.

I can't help with the plant in soil......sorry.
Plants in coco should be fed daily to substantial run off with a pH around 6.0.......yours look bone dry........coco is not soil.
Never use plain water in coco and never, ever let it get dry.
Your plants in coco look 4 days old......not 4 weeks.
Here's a comparison for you.........4 weeks from sprout, and fed everyday to run off.

You shouldn't have even been feeding that small of plant let alone a deficiency
More likely locked out due to overfeeding

I didn’t feed the small plants anything? They’ve been getting nothing but 6.3 to 6.5 ph which Ik is a lil high for coco but didn’t think it would effect it that much

You're starving the small plants........coco is inert and you have to feed from the start.
If those are 4 weeks old and you haven't fed them yet, I'm surprised they're still alive. :rolleyes:
I start feeding daily around day 3 from sprout.
Refer to my post #5.

Feed it with nutes? I was scared to feed them that young cause I thought they would get stressed? I use organic nutes not synthetics too btw and then jus water everyday from there?

I highly suggest you do some research on the proper way to grow in coco.........you're treating it like soil.........it's hydroponics.
This is the best place I know to learn proper coco growing.............www.cocoforcannabis.com.
