Hey everyone its been a little since my last update and things have gone downhill the last few days :(
I had to go out of town for a few days due to a family member falling ill and came home to them not looking too happy.
Temps seem to be good, humidity is a bit low.
I suspect my ph pen is out and will be buying ph strips this morning and re checking all my water.

Ive added a little epsom salt and given a light feed in the last 24 hours.

I plan on repotting in bigger pots today once ive got ph strips and new coco in case ive messed up the ph this whole grow.

Ive been using canna tera vega nutrients at 1/4 strength since the start. (i have canna coco a+b on the way)

Does this look like a ph problem or more of a deficiency? Lots of yellowing, newer leaves are going very thin and odd looking and there hasnt been a terrible amount of growth.
I did top the plants and it seems to be since then that its all come about.

Looks like a deficiency. Because its at the top of the plant looks like iron def. More than likely iron def. are caused by ph being too high. But im not for sure thats what your problem is, just my opinion
 
Thanks growman im sort of hoping its a ph problem as ill get onto that today haha,
Is there anything i should do to help with the iron? Or will correcting the ph fix it? (If it is the ph)
Its still young at least so i have faith lol

Irons a tricky nutrient if thats what it is. It can be locked out at a ph as low as 7. Meaning the plant cant take it in at that high.Irons pretty abundant in soil and is in nutrients its just all about giving the plant access to it with the right ph.
 
I just went and got some strips and my pen was a bit off, the pen was reading around 6.4-6.7 and the strips say almost 7.6 :/
Ive made up a fresh batch of water and put ph down in so ill check that again tonight/tomorrow morning and once its right ill start using that instead
 
Sorry for the lack of activity anyone who is following this, ive had a horrible few weeks with a close family member getting very sick, coming home to either my bulb or ballast crapping itself, now an underpowered light (temporary) and cold temps.
Im bouncing back though, the plants are starting to pick up with the growth and i think are looking good all things considered!
Anyway heres some pics, im thinking of starting 12/12 light and putting them outside in a week or 2 and just letting them flower out there. I have been given some white widow and sour diesel seeds that i might just start when the new gear arrives and start fresh inside
The first 2 pics are plant 1, last 2 are plant 220161004_184746.jpg 20161004_184738.jpg 20161004_184717.jpg 20161004_184710.jpg

Ladies are rocking bro!

Coco is a touch finicky imo

But its super simple once youve ridden the bike a few times.

Im glad you sorted the ph issue thats been 9/10s of my problem with the coco

I thought they looked a tad hungry after u had returned from your family issue

But theyve bounced back lovley.

Just keep a track of ec/ppms depending on your devices.

Im from north east from you but always a pleasure linking with neighbours haha

Il be watching.

That structure ia begging for some serious breaking & bending

But thats just my 0.02 c
