Do these new plants look ok to you?

[The123321]

These are new autos that are now 6 days from seed with the 240w kingbrite led quantum board on around 50% power around 30" from plants on 24/0 with around 60% humidity with a temperature of around 75 degrees in coco coir with perlite in 3 gallon pots with dry amendments in the pot with 1 pc fan around 10 inches from plants and watered with ph 6.3 tap water with calmag. I only watered it one big watering in the last week. It is The first few days I only poured a little water on it and then 3 days ago I did 1/4 gallon per pot with around 5 ml of calmag per gallon. I am planning to water it again with calmag tomorrow.


Is that a little yellowing on the leaves or do these look good? Would you recommend less of the calmag with the tap water on there? I am using the coco for cannabis feeding guide which says around 5 ml/gallon of calmag with nutrients with I think a little higher ph the first week then around 5.8-6.2 after that when I water it on there.

I'm not experienced with autos but considering they are so young and you just watered 3 days ago, my opinion is that's too much water. Let the soil dry out a bit. I would highly recommend reading the watering tutorial in my signature. Great wisdom to follow. I tend to have a heavy hand with watering myself. I'm still learning to back off. LOL.

They look good to me!

He's in Coco & they are above ground so they need complete moistness at all times. You never let Coco dry out. You never Feed just water in Coco. It's Nutes from day 1. You feed 2 - 3 times per day also. 3 gallon pots are kind of small for Auto's. Most people use 5 - 7 gallon pots as you aren't suppose to transplant auto's so you start them in the same pot you finish them in.

Thanks. I think I may have put more water in the pot a few days ago than it needed with 1/4 gallon per 3 gallon pot. Would you recommend that I do less water only around the seedling for the next few days or fill up the whole pot with water on there?

You can't over water Coco so nothing to worry about there. Yes, Id water the entire pot till I got some run off coming out the bottom at least twice per day. I would also start using nutrients if you want those babies to grow big. There aren't any nutes in Coco & the seed only has enough to keep it growing for a week or two. Feed at 1/4th strength to start out & increase by 1/4 strength every week or 2 till you get to at least 3/4 strength & save Full Strength for when you get to flowering.

Thanks. I am trying it a little different. I am using dry amendments instead of liquid nutrients. With this I do not really use much salt based nutrients and do not need to do run off I think. I am doing something like what the mr canuck youtube does on there. I am doing autos with plants that were planted at different times on 1 reservoir which is 1 reason I wanted to do mostly water in the reservoir instead of liquid nutrients in the reservoir on there.

I reread his first post. Totally missed that he was in all coco. For some reason I saw the pic and it looked like peat to me. Thanks for chiming in and leading in the right direction.

I think you need @Emilya for this one. She knows more about the dry amendments then I do.
Very knowledgeable !

dry amendments and no liquid nutes in coco?? This is totally out of my area of experience and I don't believe it can be done. Good luck to you @The123321, you are forging new ground with your work.

Thanks for the information.
