Transferred from a solo Friday night 5-21-2020
5gal fabric pot
Watering about every 2-3 days. Only have soaked them once 24 hrs ago 20-30% runoff
Using general hydroponic 3part(micro/grow/bloom)
Advanced nutrients Sensi cal mag extra
Gave them about 50%less than recommended for seedlings/cuttings
Running a “1200”w 235w powerdraw exlenvce veg/bloom led
Light is 16inches away(moved from about 13inches yesterday)
On a 20/4 schedule
Temp with lights on 77-81
Temp with lights off 69-74
Humidity ranges from 45-65 (55 avg)
Ph @5.7
Ppm before nutes= 35 after nutes = 235
I do a foliage spay once a day usually.

Is it over feeding nutes?
Light height?
Really is kinda hard trying to google what’s wrong with your plants with 10 different answers popping up.
Feel more comfortable with other peeps actually seeing my plants and getting feedback.
I’d love all feedback thanks! ED7C3084-71C3-4C44-BE4E-9FE00C35770C.jpeg3FA7C0B2-BBE3-4210-9ABE-9C19DCD5C63D.jpeg0CB2DDA0-009F-4DFE-97AE-CCACCD7CA719.jpeg

Did you wash / rinse your coco and buffer it before using it?

You're going to need to keep all your coco moist...all the time...and this is where the small plant / giant pot poses problems. You'll have to manage this carefully so you're able to feed daily.

I'd also up your ppm's....your baby needs more feed than that.

Good luck

What Cannacountry said.

Also be aware. Calimagic has much less N and more Ca than the Sensi.

Sensi is 4% N.
Calimagic 1%.

did you mix your nuts. correct order?
I have a 7.5 gal tub with air stones keeping my water @ around 5.8
I add nutes to a gal pitcher for better measuring. Then feed. Last water was a soak on Friday night. Wondering if I should just feed it reg water no nutes real good since I do get brown runoff water still. Could I rinse it out or would I drown the plant? Like add maybe 2 gal of water instead of 1? I didn’t rinse the coco off that well actually. Hope that’s not gonna end up being my down fall.

I still get brown runoff so I doubt it. I have about 6 gallons of water that’s been sitting for about 4 or 5 days @5.8 ph. After nutes it drops to 5.5 - 5.6. How many ml nutes should I be feeding if I’m giving 1gal at a time? It says 1/4 teaspoon which =5ml and I’m giving about 1ml of the micro/gro/bloom and about 3 ml per gal of calmag which calls for 2ml per Liter.
Would not flushing the coco cause the greenish color of the new growth? I’m also using mycorrhizal inoculates. Could that cause it? The roots were trying to bust out of the solo after its 11th day! I felt it was healthy. Same coco I’m using in the solo as in the 5 gal pots. Would it hurt to flush them with a few gals of reg tap ph of 5.7 ppm of 35 to help or would it drown them?

So for sure; don't flush them. And don't use plain water if you do.

The rinsing of the coco isn't the end all, but plants will struggle to get going if the coco hasn't been rinsed and buffered adequately.

Mychorrhizal inoculates will not cause you issues; I use them too, as I suspect many do.

I don't use your nutrients, so I can't really comment on how much to give your plants. There are many here though, that do use your nutrients, so perhaps one of them will chime in with some specifics.

Hope this helps; good luck.
