This grow I havnt used perlite and I watered the 18th and today the 20th the 18th feed was at about 250ppm I understand this is too low todays feed was around 729ppm made up of distilled water coco A&B and plant magic root stimulant used in strengths of 20ml A&B and 15ml of root stimulant and it took around half a litre each pot will this be okay to use daily
You seem to be ignoring the basics of growing in coco
Nobody in this thread said water every couple days
At the very least you should be watering to run off twice a day
And saying I don’t have time for that means you chose the wrong growing method
Sorry

That’s fair enough I said in my last comment is that okay to use daily with the size of my cuttings and the root ball I don’t want to oversaturate as there’s no perlite in my coco so assuming half a litre each daily as that was what it took. Till run off will that not be enough?

Barring in mind iv only owned these cuts around 3-4 days so there has only been one feed I under did the ppm that’s now been corrected in this feed so will once a day be enough

thanks you is 4x really necessary I work 8 hour days so I’m out the house at 7 in the morning and back home at 5 so 3x would be very demanding if it’s absolutely necessary I will try and make the time also I’m using bottled mineral water adding my nutrients and adjusting ph and feeding could I use tap water to make this cheaper?
You should check out growing organically, maybe it fits more your style.

I’m gonna look at that maybe next time so is it everyone’s opinion to water till run off atleast twice a day this obviously can be achieved if absolutely necessary to get decent results?

Okay so for this grow as I’m already in coco water till run off twice a day with a feed off 700ppm and ph between 5.5 to 6.3 would this be enough to allow my plants to succeed

Posted my picks on another forum someone said maybe bugs on the yellowing plant? On close inspection can’t see anything by what do you guys reckon

Thats tiny pots dude you will need to water in small amounts regular even through the night so probably like advised with a few different people on here not practical size of pot to hand water if you want to only hand water twice daily you need 20l/25l pots.

Understood surely twice daily is enough to keep them thriving iv worked my head and made it work to water twice daily is this gonna be okay till I transplant? Also how long till I do need to transplant theyv been in current pots 4 days

Twice a day will be fine. 700ppm and ph to 5.8-6.3. Make sure to water until run off and do not let those pots sit in the run off.

It depends on the roots I don't imagine it will take long tbh but the more you feed them the quicker they will grow if you transplant in to 10l pots you would get away with 3 feeds a day

Just the answer I needed I worry too much hahah so I’d say yeh there maybe litre pots but there not dry or even too dry when I’m doing my second water so 2 waters a day till run off? Thank you

More than twice a day is gonna hinder me so I’m gonna feed twice a day till I see roots coming out the bottom of my container then they’ll be transplanted do you think this is gonna work for me?

Yes it’ll be fine. And not letting them sit in the run off is vital as well or you will have another set of problems really quick.
