Hi guys,

I have just started my 6th grow 'but first with coco/perlite, I think things are going well but I have started to notice a little yellowing on the lower fan leaf and also a few little yellow stripes in parallel at the bottoms of the leaf structure?

I'm really enjoying this grow and feel my skills have increased this past year 'since starting in soil.

I started 3 seeds in rootit starter cubes on the 26th Feb , all 3 sprouted 48hours later and rooted out the starter cube 24hours later , I transplanted to 3"rock wool cubes until tap roots grew 3" out the bottoms of he rock wool.

Finally I transplanted into 6litre pots containing 70% canna coco + & 30%perlite

Plants are 24days from sprout

This is the list of equipment/strains ect:

Space: 2x2 tent

Lighting: 5"cool tube with 600w digital sunmaster ballast , 600watt ds hps run at 400w


Ventilation : 5" rvk conceded to cool tube , 4" canfan&filter , 6" clip fan , running passive intake

Strains: 1x grenhouse white widow 2x unknown sour d

Pots: rootit cubes = 3" rockwool =6litre Sq pots =11litre Sq for flowering

Media: canna coco+ & perlite 70/30

Nutrients: mycos mycorrhizal granules, formulex, ghe 3part

Boosts/supliments: liquid seaweed tonic, ryzotonic, green fuse grow, ghe bio bloom, silica, shogun dragon force.

Feeding/watering 1 gal : I have been following Neil's advice on watering everyday since sprout'only a little at first and then gradually over the first 14days up the volume of water.
Day 1-7 feed : formulex 2.5ml per , rhizo 5ml per , seaweed tonic 5ml per (ph 5.5/5.9
Day 7-14 feed : formulex 5ml per , seaweed tonic 5ml per gal,
Day 14-21 feed : ghe micra 1ml , grow 1ml per , bloom 1 ml per ph 5.8-5.9 on days 1-3
Micra 2ml , grow 2ml , bloom 1ml ph 5.8-6.0 on days 4-7
A few pictures at lights out to show my findings...1490195725580-1689202624.jpg 20170321_145410.jpg 20170322_145613.jpg 20170322_145619.jpg


My ec has never go over 0.9 & ph has never been higher than 6.0

Do these look OK to you guys and do you think I'm feeding gradually enough or do I need to upp the nitrogen a little?
I'm using tap water ec 0.5 so I'm not supplementing with Epsom or calmag but I do have calm if need.

Look hungry to me, just feed them with straight veg nutrients for a week and leave all the extras out until they get back on track, they don't need all the fancy shit. Also do not let coco dry out ever.

thank for the reply , I've been watering to a 20% runoff every day and I haven't seen any over watering signes in fact that love it.
I've always been scared to over feed so I do keep it light

Should I just feed what's on the bottle then? 2.5ml micra grow & bloom instead if the reduced doses I've been feeding?

Bring your ec up slow say ec1.0, see how it goes and then up it a little more to 1.1 etc.
You will soon learn to read the plants and adjust to suit.

I think I'm going to drop out some of the supliments I've got such as green fuse by growth technology & liquid seaweed tonic, just strength 3 part until I hit flower in 4weeks

I'm noticing some light green leaves and also some small little yellowish marks on a couple leaves?
Should I be using a calmag supliment even though my Tap water ppm is 240?
Like I mentioned I'm using ghe 3 part at 2.5ml gal but should I raise it up now my plants are in the 4th week from seed?
