Hey guys. Basically I'm totally new to photoperiod and soil so I could just be being a rookie but I have yellow leaves with a runoff of 6.2ph and 3.4 ec so not to sure whats going on. They are in canna terra professional medium btw. Any help would be appreciated :)

Yeah I definitely overwatered them as it has been real cold in the tent and I also think they were stunted when I transplanted a week a go. Should I just water them a little bit?. Yeah not feeding just watering but I'm not sure if that's the right idea as I used to grow in coco where the RO was 0 ec when I wasnt feeding and its 3.4 ec RO
 
Better to use fabric pots the next time. Been using them for the first time since 4,5 weeks and these things are amazing, overwatering is next to impossible. Where i used to almost always have issues using plastic pots haven't had a single issue using fabric pots. Just have to water more frequently seeing they dry out a lot faster which is also better for you're roots with more wet dry cycles and more fresh air and prunning, just some advice.

So that being an organic soil, water it with 5% water to soil volume, meaning if you're in a 10 gallon pot, only give it half a gallon of water. Do that once a day at the same time. Once the soil is depleted, you're gonna need to feed it.
 
Thanks for all the advice boys. It was 3.4 when I had just transplanted so I feel they didnt have enough time to eat any nutes. Think this is also the soil ec as I haven't fed them since they've been in there new pots. The ec was 0 just before I transplanted as there previous pots were way to small so they had used up all the nutes in the soil and were eating everything that I gave them. like the idea of fabric pots I havent had anything but problems with plastic ones, also like how its almost impossible to overwater cause thats a problem I've ran into with soil haha. I'll follow that watering advice as well

Yeah i highly recommend fabric pots. It takes getting used to a bit at first tho. You have to water pretty slow at first otherwise it will run out everywhere bit once you have a good rooting system and pour it in slowly it will drain perfectly. Another tip is to make sure the edges are a bit higher creating a bowl system so the water will flow towards the center. And like i said it's next to impossible to overwater seeing air get's true all around the pot and therefor the water evaporates a lot quicker. I'll never go back to plastic myself that's for sure.

Fabric pots are alright, but if you're going the living soil route, you want the grassroots fabric pots. If you're going to use bottled nutes, then regular fabric pots will do, but change watering from 5% water to soil, to 20% runoff. Only change that watering amount if your going to use bottled nutes.

"and were eating everything that I gave them" - I thought you said you weren't feeding?

Canna Terra pro is just slightly prefertilized promix, when you water untill runoff, that initial runoff can be higher than 5,0 because you are leaching those fertilizers out. The EC is falling as plant grows obviously. There is no issue going on untill you pour there something extra nutes and keep treating it like a soil, than the fun begins. Something more about your light? I seems to be unsufficient as well…

I'd give them no water until the pots feel light when you lift them, and then resume. You can also wait until leaves are all reaching upward to water again...
 
Sorry if I was unclear I'm not feeding now since I've transplanted, I was feeding them before in there old pots. thanks for that information I've read so much about how great coco is but surely soil is too. So your saying I start giving them nutes again? My light is 600hps in a 120x120x200 meter tent I got them as clones two weeks ago in 500ml pots which probably didnt help

Under 600 HPS in fresh mix in that big pot and small plant you should be fine for weeks, something else is off…
 
I've been recently watering them with 6.4ph before that I was treating them like coco and watering them at 5.8ph
