First grow, plants are a little yellow.

[TheRiverRat]

Hey everyone, quick question. My babies are looking a little yellow to me and have a few brown spots. Should I be worried or am I overthinking it?

Popped 08/26
Coco coir/ perlite
Fox farms big bloom/grow big @ 1/4 strength twice a week.
Adding cal mag to my soft well water to about 300ppm and ph'd to around 6.0

Not a coco guy but I’m pretty sure you feed to runoff every time with that medium. We’ll know soon if I’m wrong lol

They don’t look bad to me honestly though

Yeah I think I'm paranoid, I just want to stay ahead of problems if I can. I may just try to up my nutes if it continues.

 

[bam0813]

I’d wait for more replies before that though

Yeah my understanding in coco you feed every watering

That could be the problem then.

Also, I haven't been watering till runoff just because the plants are still small, I didn't want to over water even in coco. I failed to mention they are autos, that's why I'm trying to stay ahead so I don't hurt my yields.

 

[bam0813]

Again not positive but thinking I heard it’s impossible to overwater coco and again I may be wrong lol

Ppm is kinda low … up to around 650

Ok that's good to know. Could be lockout then from cal/mag deficiency then?

Also should I water till run off even with the size of the plants?

Problem is too small a plant for the pot,but yes feed to runoff everyday never straight water dont let dry out.

As long as you pre buffered with calmag and food shouldnt be too long before you can start daily feeds.

Roots grow incredibly fast,how long since transplant ? How big pot?

 

[myke]

And yes you can over water coco at this stage.Small plant big pot etc.

I started on jiffy pellets. Transplanted maybe 2 weeks ago. I just took off the outer fabric and planted it straight in the pot.

I bought coco bliss so I wouldn't need to remove the salts. I just expanded the blocks with ph'd water and added perlite. I fed after that with waterings.
