Hey guys n girls, newbie here.. got my cut off from friend , repotted 3 days ago into coco soil, and leaves started to look like that. Watered with hornet a+b on 1.2EC=600ppm plus roots exelurator and fulvic. Have i done something wrong? Shouldnt used fulvic? Want to see her healthy but i think i have over pampered this baby. Runing on LED 18/6, temp 28°C ,humidity 48-60. Help would be apreciated :)

Well there is only a few brands that don't need to be washed and buffered before use. Mills DNA Coco Cork is the one I use.

Since you didn't wash / buffer the coco first and the plant has only been potted for a few days, I would seriously consider taking the plant out of the coco, rinsing its roots off. Wash the coco properly and buffer to 6.0 pH and then repot the clone.

Right, got perlite ordered and calmag for buffering coco soil, now need to prepare it like in that video. Then can test ph make it 6.0 and pot baby in that :)

Can u explain then fulvics benefit? Should i use it? As i understand calmag makes ph up or down, fulvic too?

Humic and Fulvic acids help chelate nutrients to make them more available to your plants. It's not required but nice to have.

Does she have roots yet I notice you have taken a cutting from a flowering plant if so the rooting percentages fall a lot. If it has no roots now I can't see it surviving tbh.

Sorted coco coir :) washed and buffered with calmag+mixed perlite with it :) guessing will need to repot babys in bigger pots today? Whats ur thoughts? They got roots out now and starting to show leaves :) have small fibre pots what i could use, just fill with bit of coco and put them with sponges in? What stuff to water with? Ec 0.6? Root exelurator+some hornet coco a+b? Ph 6.5 through buffered soil?
I know i ask a lot,but better be sure :)

Did some reading and planning, all seems good for now, might just change this post to first grow journal :) repotted babies on weekend to coco soir with perlite, all buffered and comfy to grow, ph seems stable 6.8, watering with 7ph ,runoff 6.8.

Using root exelurator with coco a+b , tiny ammount of calmag and fulvic, EC 0.6 for now, will start increasing after week if they grow healthy.

Lowered lights as seen in photo, opened bottom of tent to let some fresh air intake, top have small 6' fan blowing to wall ,not direct to seedlings. Extractor fan working on top.

Using leds , so need some heat, using oil radiator and heat tube to warm tent up to 21-25°C, as leds dont produce much heat.

Hopefully not missing much, if anything , would be nice to know. Have 7 babies of skittlez and one unknown cutoff wich was burned by unbufered soil, slowly recovering in bufered soil now. Will be leaving 3 plants only due to tents space, others will be going to friends :)

Sorry took pics on purble lights, next ones will be clear . Ty for advices in advance
