These look overwatered to me - yay/nay

[iggy097]

First time in coco so it’s still new to me. This looks like overwatering but I’ve only watered twice since transplanting them - last time was 4 days ago. Watered to runoff.
Lights just came on 30 min ago so that could have a little to do with it.
PH and EC are good. Let it dry out more or am I actually under watering the coco?

I’m going with your lights too close on this one.

I have them at about 18" from the canopy at 50%

With that much perlite in your coco, with that sized plants highly unlikely to ever over water them. I’d personally be feeding at least once daily at this point.

Sticking with my answer

have a great day

Water daily till they really kick in then twice daily
And increase feed as well
Overwatered isn’t a thing in coco since it’s basically hydro

I turned on the autopot system today after this post. Been 10 days since transplant, and the leaves are past the edges of the containers. I think it was enough time for the roots to find their way down - since I started the seeds in 2 quart containers as it was.

Feed daily to run off.
Never give plain water.
Never let the coco dry.
Easy Peasy.

Hoping that switching on the autopot system today is the end of the under/overwatering parts. New to Coco - so always felt like I was overwatering

Autopots aren’t the best for coco grows. I’ve seen far more failures then accomplishments over the years.

The specifically recommend coco for autopots - I'll be updating on my grow journal so we'll see!

Coco in autopots sounds like waiting to clog a valve. If anything, clay pebbles are probably the safest.
