Coco issue

Root farm coco I rinsed with 1/4 strength maxibloom and 1 tsp of cal magic


Seedlings 13 days from sprout. R/O with 1/4 strength maxi loom 1tsp Cal magic 6.0 ph under 4 T5 shop lights
Plants iN garage and off the floor but def been under 60 degrees at night. I have been watering every other day to run off and my roots seem to be filling the pot now. I believe I have some kind of decency.
I do have another plant 8 weeks old not looking great but here are some photos of the seedlings for now. I apologize any bad grammar using my phone

They still look nice and healthy for now but adding the extra Cal/mag Is gonna cause you K deficiency. you have it in the maxi bloom has it already.

Mick nailed it, warm them up and ditch the calmag. Are you using RO for a particular reason? Tap water would be better unless you have some sort of extreme water. Do you have a TDS meter?

I do have a TDS meter not sure if it reads
.5 or ,7. I tested
My tap water and says 957 PPM. I had a few successfully grows with tap water but I never checked the PPM before this time so I changed. I used to use
tap water and 1 tsp of calmagic and water once that way then the next just 1 tsp calmagic and they looked healthy. So last night I added 7 grams
Of maxibloom to my tap water and metered reads 2045 PPM.

I'd dial back the cal mag to 1/2tsp. People claim to never use cal mag in their coco grows, but i get "tiger striped" leaves almost as soon as i stop using it. Granted i buy the cheaper coco, but still. Cal mag is definitely useful in coco grows.

You or your plants may gain some mutant powers by drinking from the tap. You're just going to sit there and use RO while criminals overrun your city?

We get are water from a local lake here and with the drought it seems the water has gotten worse and worse. Most people in my town have water softeners. I drink it out of the fridge filter and I’m okay I believe lol

My tap water was reading 300ish ppm and I was having problems with first grow. Got an RO system and everything went much smoother. Probably dont want to be using that tap
