1st Grow In Coco: 70% With 30% Perlite

[bluter]

i think i see the issue.
i'd go read up on coco feed schedules.

there's a pile of coco journals here. a quick flip through a couple will show you a better approach in your stage of flower. probably a better nute balance as well.

every pic i have seen your coco is not wet or even wet looking.

I've been using the weight of the pots and feel of the coco about an inch down. They are getting water, I just think it's my haphazard feeding....

i use 60/40 and feed my ladies twice aday now at the end but 3 times a day in week 3-7ish.NEVER let coco dry in flower
no matter what anyone tells you.

And usually I take pics before water them...

They are not that thirsty yet, but I will be cutting back on the nutes and see how it looks...

you are not feeding anywhere close to correct for coco

edit : every single one of your plant pics confirm that.

completely and utterly incorrect. you can't over water in coco.

don't wait til it's bone dry. coco needs fed daily to multiple times / day in flower. every other day to daily in veg.

don't take my advice. go read a few coco journals. let that educate you. don't sweat it, everyone starts in fits and surges till they get their grow-fu on.

Yeah, it's tricky finding someone else growing exactly the same way as far as nutes and coco and LED... I will be searching today. I am realizing I must take all advise with a grain of salt and study. Thanks again for helping!

don't cut them back - use a correct schedule instead. there piles of examples. try find a journal that is using the same or a similar nute line.

it's always best to imitate until you find your own path.

They are getting GH 3 bottle nutes plus cal/mg. I had been feeding them lightly every watering until about a week ago when I switched to the bloom nutes and went full strength for 2 feedings. Then, when I saw the issues I raised the light and backed off of the nutes. They still only need watering every other day about a gallon a plant.
Lights totally confuse me... I don't have much instruction on them except 12 - 16" over the plants...

I'm learning too. First grow with photoperiods 16 inches worked great. I feel I had light burn on my last crop of Auto's at 16". The major difference was lights were on 6 hours longer than photo grow lights , therefore light burned them at the 16 inch height. They turn yellow just like yours and then got Crispy. This took me online looking for light burn photo's and blogs about it. I looked at a lot of light burn photos and figured that is what the problem was. I raised the light and problem stopped.

I almost want to do another Coco grow just to prove you don't have to water everyday. I would use bigger pots. Instructions I've found online tell you to only water coco after top of medium has dried. Mr. Canuck grows in Coco and waters by hand and doesn't water twice a day or once a day unless needed. Just saying they're different ways to get there. If you can read a plant you know when to water.

I grow coco and under led.More than a few on here @Bill284. And i would never let me pots look that dry unless i missed a feed my friend.

Also bigger pots does work but does not change the fact your plant will grow into it unless your pretty poor at your job.
More space more roots more water it works well to start but you end up in the same place just a few weeks later.UNLESS your out side i could not comment as i have not done it. Water daily please twice

 

[Plant Dad]

Does that mean flush out the cal mag with water or add calmag?

That was kinda my question

Okay, I can see that. I think it comes from everyone saying the 1st rookie mistake is over watering... So maybe I've gone in the wrong direction.

Like I said they're are a lot of ways to get there.

i'd flush once quick to reset. then refine the schedule to something more common to coco and refeed almost immediately.

ditch everything you think you are doing regarding feed sched. it needs a complete revision or you're not gonna bring this one in very well.

your are confusing a soil grow with coco.
plus you did get some shit advice earlier from a strong personality.
