This is my first grow in 2 years as I was diagnosed with a secondary cancer and had to put my grow on hold I am currently in remission and ready to get growing again its my first grow using coco coir and a new set up
These lil beauties popped out of there seeds on the 10th March so they are 26 days old I have had a bit of a tricky week as they started to go yellow on the lower leaves I have since added calmag and although I saw a slight improvement and they are really growing well I am still a bit worried about them they are only in 3 L pots so I am going to be repotting them this week the ph is 5.8 and EC 1.2 I am using monkey nutrients root shoot grow A & B and calmag
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated

1.2 EC is very low for hydro. Coco is inert. You're growing in what appears to be water to waste hydro with coco as your medium. Good stuff! Increase your EC to 1.6.

What kind of light are you using? It appears you suffered a massive magnesium deficiency. Those leaves will not recover. The good news is the plants are recovering. See your new growth? It is healthy. You must providw cal mag every watering in coco. Usually cal mag is okay at full strength. Your girls will all recover just fine! I think your only mistakw has been the magnesium deficiency which you have already addressed. Grow on dude :)

I am using a lumitek zeus 600 Pro but I only have her on 50% and it is 36in from the top of the tallest plant I raised it as I was concerned about too much light do you think that's OK?
Yes it is totally my fault I tried to research everything and missed that you must feed coco calmag I can't believe I did that.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and reply

So my girls have done some amazing growing and are really smelling lovely but thank god for carbon filters I took the great advice up EC to 1.6 and calmag I also repotted into 10L pots and my ladies are much happier they are still on 18hrs light a day but I think I will flip to 12/12 in a week

So my girls are 19 days into flower all doing really well I will start adding pk14/15 in the feed and they are having a full dose of boost and bloom A+B stress and they are really thirsty atm so I am checking how damp the medium is every evening before bed and often having to give them water every evening as opposed to every other day I was doing before.
I noticed one of the thick main branches had been bent back the perils of being in a wheelchair I have to rely on someone to move my babies in and out of the tent for me to water and check I can't blame them as they are doing me a real favour but I nearly cried lol but I composed myself and prepared to assess the damage it had half broken just under a main bud site for the moment I have unbent it and tied the branch to the main stem to take the weight off it for the moment and I have given it a healthy dose of stress I am hoping it might recover with no major issues
The light I am using is the lumitek zues Pro 600 I am slowly creeping the dimmer switch up and I am at 75% and have not yet seen any obvious signs of heat or light stress so I am just hoping that will stay the same and I might be able to get them to 100%
