Might be time to get some air conditioning to keep those temp in check.

Do you know the pH of the water?

Sux that you lost one. All you can do is learn learn learn. Figure out why your plants ended up this way so you can prevent it from happening in future grows.

Good luck!

To be honest I'm not sure what temp should be at as iv see so many different grows at different temps so I'm not totally sure mine is at 35c this morning before lights off comes down to about 25c before lights on I do put water in a cup in the tent so the air won't be to dry

As for ph i last tested my tape water at 6.0 to 6.5 avarge but now my ph meter is just saying 1. That's it think it's broke so need to get another one
I'm getting my shopping list together anyway it's a good job my local hydroponic shop is with in walking distance from my house just round the corner lol

Shopping list so far
1 Ph and ppm meters
2 Digital temperature meter
3 Ph+ ph-
4 Coco soil
5 Clay pellets
6 items to make a scrog net
Stuff for next grow

Anything I can add to the list would be helpful
Thanks

So far my temp have been between 21-30, usually closet to 30. I have a window a/c unit that I keep at 23.

From what I've seen list looks good. Read up well on coco. I'm still trying to figure out if I should be watering less more often, or watering more less often (hope that made sense). I'm still not sure which is the proper way to water with coco but I'm watering about every 5-7 days until runoff and seems to be working for me so I'll stick to it for now.

Thanks for the help I'm gonna read up more about coco before I start my next one
I'm gonna have to sort some sort of temperature control system out as mine was up to 35c this morning

I'm gonna up load some photos of my last plant in this grow can some one tell me how she looks as she has a few leave problem's

 

[DANNYBEAN]

Photo from this morning at 9am before lights off for 12h

Photos look yellow due to hps light

Guys, in coco water everyday with nute solution. Never let coco dry out or you will get hot spots. Go to growpotcheaply.com and watch Neil's videos on growing in coco. Start with 1/4 strength nutes and work your way up.

 

[DANNYBEAN]

Some more if that helps

 

[DANNYBEAN]

Leaves at the bottom of the plants don't seem right and then end off some of the leaves are pointing down with slight brown tips on some of the leaves overall I think she's doing OK haven't waterd or feed in 4 days

 

[Pennywise]

Water daily

 

[DANNYBEAN]

Water daily

Soil takes about 3 days to dry 3inch below the top soil is dry below that seems still a bit wet should I water daily and if so how much as I don't want to kill this one she was potted in different soil this one has no white bits in it that may be why she's still alive

I believe coco requires watering every day or at least my coco hydro does . I've noticed when my temps go up past 31c my girls wilt and appear tired so I've kept them at a steady 27-30c and they are thriving . I've found that good air intake is essential otherwise they starve of oxygen

 

[Pennywise]

Water daily until you have a little runoff, coco holds up to 30% oxygen even when saturated. Think of coco as you would hydro. Its hard to overwater coco.

Hi pennywise , I feed my 4 girls 6ltrs between them with a total runoff off 3 ltrs. Is that to much run off ? Sorry for the hijack

 

[Pennywise]

Thats fine, runoff is just to keep salts from building up.

So you literally cannot drown a plant in coco because theres always oxygen in the medium, am I right?

Also, what if I have a coco/soil mixture?

I'm new to this but I think they look good. Aside from the tips curling and yellowing, which doesnt seem to be that big of an issue, I think they look awersome

 

[Pennywise]

Coco is almost impossible to overwater and guess it depends on how much soil is mixed in and how fast it drains.

24h update

So she's looking good today

 

[DANNYBEAN]

Right so I left 2 of the dead ones in the tent for a few extra day this is the result
Plant one new growth

So as you can see we have new growth on the bottom of the plant
So plan for this plant is to cut of some of the top dead buds so light can get to the new growth

 

[DANNYBEAN]

Plant 2 with less new growth but still got some

So as for this one the same plan cut top buds off so light can get to new growths
Some buds look nice to smoke so cut dry cure then smoke but mite end up in the bin lol

 

[DANNYBEAN]

Cut off most of the dead leaves and this is how one looks
