just raised my lights a bit, growing in 2 gal fabric pots, coco/perlite only been feeding every 3 days with GH flora series, was feeding 1 ml of cal-mag with 7ml of nutes a 1/7/7/7 per gallon ratio, RO water with 1100 PPMs and 2.2 EC, PH around 6.2 after mixing in nutes. I think I'm not watering often enough and not to the right amount of runoff. I flushed yesterday with a lighter mix and got normal PPM reading within 2-300 of input in my runoff. Going to scale back to 1/5/5/5. The leaves have already pointed back up since those pics this morning.

It's the underwatering that causing the droop. 2-300 ppm run off is fine. Go back up to 7ml and water them 6 times per day with decent run off every time.

You need to sort out a better system for collecting your run off. Those saucers are not going to work

2.2 is a little high. I never go over 1.4 ec on a 500 scale, or 1.0 on a 700

If that confuses you go here

I assume your fabric pots are elevated and they don't sit in the run off?

Yes, I got my magnifying glass and they are just starting to flower, there are small pistils on some of the bud spots already. I guess I'm paranoid a bit after botching my first grow, #2 went so-so, and this is #3.

I take them out of there for watering and use a 1 gal bucket to catch the runoff

Just fed today with Flora micro and flora bloom EC was 1.2 with a PH of 6.2, did a gallon and a half in each 2 gal pot, will repeat tomorrow and see how it goes

After tomorrows feed letting her dry out 80% percent will encourage new roots. I would still feed tomorrow to ensure a good flush of old feeds, but letting her chase for that food one more.time will be a good thing once the new roots can live in their habitat and she's feeling a little better.

Totally disagree. Coco should never, ever dry out........it's drain to waste hydroponics and should be fed at least once a day. The OP's plants are nearly 5 weeks from sprout in 2 gallon fabric pots........roots searching for food is a non issue. The fabric pots encourage new roots by air pruning........that's their purpose.

Still no white hairs on either plant, they are very healthy looking plenty of bud spots, the spots are lighter green than the leaves, but after 40+ days they should be blooming right?
