Are you giving them a good soak, you want it pissing out of the bottom of the pot, it's essential for good growth I can't emphasise it enough.
Week 8 veg and had alot of problems on my first coco run
That "fine line" does not exist on this website. Supposedly if you just keep watering with a low ec then they will be fine. "coco cannot be overwatered" is pretty much what they say around these parts. its a hydro medium.
Forget the notion of root rot I've never seen it my life.
I would agree, they say calmag like it's one thing instead of realizing it's calcium and magnesium. More over many are using tap water full of calcium and adding calmag not realizing that too much calcium will lock out magnesium. They identify it as a calmag deficiency and pour more calcium into the mix making it worse. Tap water users need to learn that Epsom Salt is their friend.
Thats hard to believe , we have all seen root rot once or twenty times. You may not have looked at the roted roots but surely you have seen an overwatered plant?
Tbh I thought it was bad conditions/keeping/dwc type growing that caused it, I used pot culture/aqua trays +100% perlite for years which requires the pots to stand in nutrient with no rot problems and I was far from experienced.
It's actually pretty common. That rotten egg smell when someone up pots. Just google "roots smell bad when up potting" and view the about 5,090,000 pages about it, lol. I know because I googled it one day looking for info to help someone. I have not experienced it my self but it is apparently pretty common.Tbh I thought it was bad conditions/keeping/dwc type growing that caused it, I used pot culture/aqua trays +100% perlite for years which requires the pots to stand in nutrient with no rot problems and I was far from experienced.
I can't remember the exact length of time but for years I kept a mother in whats basically a auto pot so it had its wet feet for most of its life with no problems it was 5/7 years old when the authorities snuffed it?
To the best of my knowledge I've never had a problem with it, or not that I've observed anyway?
A myth used to keep us putting our hands in our pockets lol
Without a doubt in my mind this is high temps. Vapor pressure deficit has got to do with the fact that theres an inverse relationship between heat and humidity. Temps go up, humidity drops. Temps drop, humidity climbs. The vapour pressure deficit has to do with the fact that as temps increase, humidity drops and subsequently the area around the leaves becomes less humid, thus more transpiration through the stomata and the plant dries and burns.
Omg I've just been lucky or dodged a bullet idk, I didn't think/know it was a pot growers issue I've always associated with nutrient based systems.
When mixed with 30% perlite there is always O2 at the roots. Some say straight coco but I love my 70/30 mix. Saves me from myself.I am almost sure i can go pull a plant that has root rot to show. I have lots so at least one or two have an issue. If you aint never overwatered a plant then yes you are super lucky and your thumb is dark green.
It is by far the single most important thing to a successful grow for any plants and by far the most common problem in the weed world too. (when using soil/potting mix) Im positive thats why coco has taken over the weed game in the last 10 years or less. That and the ph being way better then peat.
Im not positive but i guess coco moss holds way less water then peat moss or soil.
