any advice that u guys can give me can help. auto 2 weeks in stress.

Well i use lemon juice too and our ph over here is in the 7 range too and i need at least 10ml to get it down on 5,8. 3 Drops is a bit low.
 
what a dumbass I am. I just noticed it was coco. I thought maybe hard soil with no perlite. oops sorry. I know nothing about coco either.. tampering off is usually from overwatering mz w. no oxygen to roots when plants are seedlings.

i belive its the over water problem to.. i let it to grow in this soil till it completly dry out

i put like 10 drops the last time. i put next time lil bit more my friend tnx for the comment
 
+1
Was thinking the exact same thing. In 1 litre of water I have to use a good 10-20 drops straight from the lemon.

i will do that next time when thy will be completly dry.

the new leafs ones to have a strenge red dots on its leaf eadges and the feel like dry a bit.. whats making that the ph? the light are 35-40 cm away from the plants (6x55w cfl)
 
I put my money on pH. And pls use the link I sent you, those guys know coco and can help you get this sorted.
I would place my bets they would get you to start at pH and find out exactly what's in that coco coir nutrient wise. I know nothing about coco, but I wouldn't imagine letting it dry out completely was a good idea.

i just publishd there a new post tnx i will see what i can learn there tnx bro!!
 
so dont let it dry complitly? every 4-5 days? when the pot is light anoght?
 
Purple stems are not usually normal unless you have a purple pheno or somethin

Ehm...Dazed, with all due respect, I beg to differ.

Purpleish reddish stems can be an indicator of temps being too low, certain nutrient deficiencies, or it could just be in the genetics, that this plant gets red stems. But I assure you, that purple/red stems are, generally speaking, normal...ask google, lol

Now.
As for you, Mr. A&W Rootbeer.

Pictures 1, 4 & 5.

Im assuming these are cut off bottoms from 2L bottles, no?
If yes, that's a good thing.
You won't have to transplant them, per se, once they get this 'root ball' you're waiting for.
I've never done it, but I know people have, is start their plants in like....red party cups (solo cups) and then when its big enough, they will dig a hole in their new pots soil (or in your case coco) and then cut the bottom off the solo cup and then plant the whole she-bang .... but again. I've never done it, so I don't know any more about it then what I just said lol. So you can, in theory, do that with the soda bottles. I would assume you just take a box cutter or a pocket knife or something, and ever so gingerly, lol, cut away the bottom half and plop it into its new home lol.

Really though, the plants look healthy-ish to me.
Stunted though, definitely.
This is one from my latest run and she's 6 days old.

so we've got the same amount of leaves (4) but these are much larger.
why?
Well. if we didn't already know you were having problems, id chalk it up to genetics.
But since we know you're having issues.....hmph. tis the hard part....for me anyways, haha.
Because youre obviously stunted. Your plants aren't showing 2 weeks of growth. This is another one of my plants (from my 2nd grow) at 2 weeks -

My next guess is the same as Dazed, and that is pH.
It's kind of ridiculous how important the pH is....and I didnt realize it at first either, so don't feel bad lol

but if your pH isn't in check, you will definitely run into all sorts of problems....stunting them being one of the problems that can arise...in addition to numerous nutrients being locked out...meaning, even if the nutrients are there and available for the plant to use, if the pH is off, the plant cant utilize them.

So perrrrrrrrrrsonally, lol -and take everything I say with a grain of salt, because Im not a great grower lol, but personally, I wanna say either your pH is fucked up because you put lemon juice (which has a pH of 2 btw) in the water, bringing the pH way down, in turn bringing the pH of the coco way down OR your you didn't use enough lemon juice in the water (which btw you dont want to use straight from the tap, you wanna let it sit out for at least 24 hours to let all the shit evaporate off it lol) and the pH was still too high, making the pH too alkaline, in turn doing the same thing to the coco. user17219_pic14203_1233853343.gif

I'm super high, so this took wayyyyyy longer than expected and I'm sure someone has already said all of this lol
