you can tell it's over watered by looking at how wet the top soil is and how the leaves are drooping it's a common sign of over watering my dude
Unhappy looking plant

And my plant tends to droop more when it's allmost lights out. Which it is in about a hours time. But I'll take ur word. Gonna go for like a good week no water see if it changes anything. I know they're one of a kind plant if it can grow anywhere it can grow week without water

why does your top soil look like it's had a watering then? lol

nah man don't let it go a week without water. give it 4 days to dry out and then water around the edges of the pot. never water in the middle because that will increase your chance of that main stem rotting

It could contain a lil water at the top. Just remembered put a we bit on there the other day. But the reason I stopped watering from the top is cause I started with weak lights so wasn't producing enough heat for it to dry. But now running a 400w hps. Gets fukn hot. My room is like a sauna lucky for the fan man. But the reason I bottom feed is cause I got scared of overwatering so I thought well least doing it that way they have control over what they want to suck up. Obviously stagnant water left over I'll chuck away. But they seem to suck the living shit out of the water so I don't know how it can be over watering. Here they are anyway. Hope they make it.

Im a bit confused by what your saying.. she used 500 milliliters of that nutrient solution in how much water? Or 500 ml of water was used? Either way, they seem way too young to be feeding much at all, especially in a non-inert medium. You should also check the ppm of your well water so you know the baseline you will be working with.

OP, IMO they should be further along than they are. Get the temp up to 26c during the day and they should take off.

Any tips to get the temps up.? I feel like it gets hot in my wardrobe though. Hot to the point I have to keep both wardrobe doors open with the fan running.if I close that wardrobe that shits bound to catch on fire.

I have moved the light a bit further away and turned it up hopefully that will raise the temps a bit

You don’t have a hygrometer our temp gauge? Without either there’s no way to know what your temp or humidity is, which plays an incredible part of growing....

Plants have dried out a bit now but the drooping seems worse, I think the light might be too intense so I’ve moved it up again. I may give them a light foliar feed today to see if it helps them.

I have the same problem you have, and dealing with it as we speak.
But what I can tell, that light is not the issue. Going on the assumption that ur temp is fine and Humidity is fine and ur nuits are fine. Then it's a root issue. If these plants were over watered , the over watering can have hurt the roots and making them droop. You can dry them out, but at the same time u hurting ur roots by doing this. What I'm doing is lowering the amount of water u give it and add a root accelerator. This might help if the damage is not to far gone.
Hope this helped

First problem; stop taking advice from soil growers. You're not growing in soil, so their practices don't apply to you.
Second, you don't flush coco grown plants....ever. So stop.
Third, you don't water coco grown plants with plain water...ever. So stop.
Fourth, you need to manage your pH @ 5.8...always. So do it.
Fifth, you need to get a handle on your nutrients. Coco plants need to be fed daily...always. So do it.
If you'll follow those simple little rules, your experience in coco will be what you hoped for. Don't, and it most likely won't. Good luck friend.

So the plant got a little worse shortly after my original post but now looks like it’s on the road to recovery. I do believe the issue for me was caused by a mix of transplant shock and and too much light, I turned my light down moved the plant out of direct light and after 24-48 hours it’s showing signs of improvement. My temps are a bit low but I can deal with that for now, when I did turn my light up temps were sitting at 25c. Fingers crossed in a few more days it will be nice and healthy.

I just wanted to say...from the pix I saw you don't have claw. Don't go giving the poor plant copious amounts of water if its not necessary.
Your plants looked healthy to me. And I enjoyed reading the stories about your wife doing those crazy things. Funny stuff. Did you find for sure if the soil you're using had fertilizer pellets in it? It doesn't always so don't assume.

Yeah. 3-1-2 is what I go for In veg. A lot of the feed charts I find have way high levels of K. Not sure why they think that is ok or necessary. No wonder there are so many Cal Mg deficiencies.
