Hi Guys

So I'm growing in pure coco coir, mixed with perlite.
I have been watering with water and a touch of rhizome liquid from canna between 5.5 & 5.9, PPM 95

It has been 10 days approx. and this is what I have. Autoflowers by the way.

Now first off, the colour of the plants I'm a bit skeptical of, maybe when they're seedlings they are a lighter colour but I thought they should have been a bit greener than this, but it may just also be the grow light, I took an image outside of the grow room for comparison due to the colour the LED may impose on the image.

Another factor I have to make you aware of, where I am we have been hit by a heatwave, so the grow room is normally sitting between 27min & 32max Celsius, now I know that's not great, BUT there's nothing I can do about it.

So just out of curiosity, is there anything you more experienced growers can ID that I may be missing or overlooking, should they be bigger, or does it seem like I'm on the right course? Could it possibly be that the light is too bright? Could I be exchanging air too much within the grow room?20180821_213100[1].jpg 20180821_213132[1].jpg

Any suggestions will be strongly considered, thank you so much you sweet ass bitches!!

Do you have any clue as to what is in this Rhizome juice? You realize you have to use nutes right? 95 PPM? Tap water runs higher than that and at least has calcium.
 
It's the Canna rhizotonic, and they suggest it from the get go, obviously in stages, but yeah I understand I've got to use nutes, I was going by the Canna chart, just a little under though, and I do give tap water, it's just kinda... 95ppm.

But okay sweet man, I'll keep those things in mind

Remember that most charts provided and also the back of the bottle is based on a 4 week veg and a 8 week bloom with 1000 Watts HPS. So if you are running a 400 Watt HPS you need to cut back your feeding by 60% and also account for longer grow times in veg and bloom. If you follow the chart in my experience you will end up burning your plants and dealing with salt buildup in the pots causing nutrient lockout. Also if you use a good pre mixed soil like Fox Farm Ocean Forest, there is no need to feed your plants anything other then a CAL / MAG product for the fist 4 - 6 weeks. That is my experience at least under 400 Watts
