Am not 100% blaze but next water will have nutes in I might have been too cautious with the water and the nutes. Again thanks to everyone subbed. Your thoughts mean a lot

Looking good in here!
Thought I'd add something regarding RH. I got the same brand of humidity/temp device and its reading was between 5-8% higher than what my GSE controller was indicating. I bought a second one from a different brand and its reading is around 5% lower. So unless you're buying a professional humidity tester you should be careful!
Keep up the good work!

Day 15 (From soak in water)

Temperature: Max 28.4, Min 16.7 (Night time)

Humidity: looks to be settled at about 40%

Water: Watered all the newly transplanted plants. PH was 6.0 due to adding first batch of nutes. Time to invest in some kinda of water storage thing. Taking Pigeons420 advice in that department.

Nutrients: Added half of the recommended nutes in my Shogun plan. So that was Katana Roots (2.5mL/L) and Samurai Coco A & B (1mL/L) again the seam to react well.

Actions: Repotted the remaining plants and avoiding the temptation to cull 2. Will get down to 4 plants in the end.

The plants looked to like the new found space. The 3 sick amigos also liked the new soil and started to regain shape and full green colour. So that led me to believe that Blaze was right and they was lacking nutrients due to the 60/40 compound soil and as I was having to water daily I was maybe flushing the nutrients out of the soil. (By no means know that true or not but that's my thinking)

One of the 3 sick amigos.

The runt that very nearly got the chop.

Still happy with the progress, learning so much everyday. Thanks all at 420

Looking good. They're moving right along!

I can't help but laugh though at the plant in the front left of the group photo. It looks like it's doing a crane stance from the Karate Kid movie. Any minute now it's gonna kick butt. Hiiiiya!

 

[Riley May]

Nothing much to report today. Alittle learnt and a few small changes.

Day 16 (From soak in water)

Temperature: Max 81.3 Min 65.7

Humidity: 37%. Added a bowl of water to the tent to try raise this a touch as I read for seedlings this should be higher.

Water: Nothing done.

Nutrients: Nothing done.

Actions: Added bowl of water to try raise humidity alittle.

Alittle of what I think is nutrient splash burn but that's the Karate Kid so he'll be fine.

Showing symptoms of what I believe the 3 sick amigos shown before they got the nutes so when next water is due she'll be getting I shot of the good stuff.

Not sure on size etc but this seams the average size of the 10. Not enjoying having 10 plants dues to where I live so looking forward to getting rid of a few.

Well the Kid did always get his butt kicked before making his comeback. Come on little one, wax on, wax off. You've got this!

Again very little in the way of progress but alittle up days.

Day 18 (From soak in water)

Temperature: Max 78.3 Min 63.2 (Drop in temp out side)

Humidity: Max 47%

Water: Nothing done.

Nutrients: Nothing done.

Actions: Got a 45l dark storage box to use as watering store. And a 60l air bubbler to air out the water.

The runt.

The Karate Kid

The only real yellow one but am hoping next water/feel she'll bounce back like the 3 sick amigos did.

Not much happening, kind think I stunted growth in the transplanting to bigger pots but it's early days in this race.

hi
it is quite normal to stunt a bit after re potting.
don't over do the feeding on the "sick ones" go water only for 2 times.
Good luck with your grow

Hey man plants are looking good, but you don't want to treat coco like soil. Treat it like hydro! You'll get much happier plants.

The is a quote from ledrf.
1. Coco holds 30% oxygen when fully saturated.
2. If you let coco dry out, you will get lower yields and most likely nutrient issues because when the coco dries out, it leaves dry spots, where the roots dry up and die. That causes issues.
3. When you water every day or twice a day or ever three times a day, you are replacing all the oxygen the plant used up, thus letting it grow faster. You are also replacing any nutrients the plant used up with fresh nutrients. This is why I water every day with nutrients.
4. You get hydroponic results. Fast growth. Bigger yields.

This thread has great info if you haven't seen it. I dont use the same nutes but I make it work for me.

Great advice

For me... Coco is so much easier then growing in soil ever was. I had so many different problems when using ffof. You made a good mistake! just follow ledrf and you'll get great buds every time.

Cannabis is resilient and coco is so forgiving. Your on your way! You said your getting Nute burn? Are you giving full strength or working your way up from 1/4 or 1/2 strength?

Hi BedroomFarmer, thanks for dropping by again.

I started off with 1/2 strength and dint see know symptoms of Nute Burn so went ahead with another 1/2 strength water.

That's about as bad as its getting, not sure if it's a combination of slight overwatering and Nute Burn. I don't think much is wrong just making little noobie mistakes here and there.

Just another little photos from today. From the hopefully recovering yellow one.

Here for the ride also I will read the whole thing a little later,but, subbed

 

[AlleyC]

Pro's advice I got at a store stated that starting seeds should be done in light mix soil. Now coco mixes are a whole different story I bet ya and I have no clue as to what needs they may cover or OVERdo covering as far as seeds and seedlings are concerned. In general my thoughts would be, would you put your baby on a steak and ribs diet since birth? what's so different about baby plants then ? 2-3 cents of mine. Subbed and waiting for your updates.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Coco is great for seedlings. It has no nutrients in it, unlike soil. You can make it as light as you want by how much nutrients you put in your water. When in coco I always start my seeds with coco that is presoaked with a few ml of grow nutes and water. I Normally water everyday once it pops again with a few ml of nutes.

 

[Riley May]

Temperature: Max 81 Min 62
