DAY 13

Plants seem to be fine. Leafs are very large and kinda hang down. I assume because of their size...it is more in the largest ones. The color seems to be a little yellowish in overall tone of the plants. Is all this normal??? I have been feeding them Canna Rhizotonic for the first week. On Day 8 (6 days ago) I did a flush with PH'ed water. I am still confused on a watering schedule. I am watering when they "feel" empty. I assume .25 nutes and PH'ed water. I will also give PH'ed water foliar sprays daily to give the feel of dew or rain.

Does this sound good??? .....and what ya think of the leaf color???

Hey Pops,

I am new here also and not the one to answer your questions but I will say that color ain't right. What is your PH? I have been reading up on coco because I have thought about switching to it as well and everything I have read says do not let the dry out and it is "almost" impossible to overwater. Just a suggestion, but I would post those pics in the infirmary along with all pertinent information regarding your grow, ph, soil, nute schedule, etc and someone will get with you quick. I would be worried about them yellowing off that early and wouldn't let it go long for fear of loosing them. Maybe I am being over dramatic but as hard as seeds are to come by I would hate to see you loose them right off the bat. Best of luck and I will be watching and learning from this grow.

Best,
A4

Well, Day 16......the feeling is a little sad. They are all 4 still alive. I gave them Bio-Genesis Mineral Matrix micro-nutrient supplement yesterday. They seem to have stopped "yellowing", it is kinda fading to green and the new growth has none. The largest lady out the gate is the one with the "brown spots". The spots look super bad to me. The MM says to wait 3 days to see if it needs another round. I have .5 gallon already mixed.

I believe the problem came from my lazy call as I was tired. I needing to flush them before starting .25 nutes on them. Instead of mixing a large batch of PH water and letting it set a bit....I just ran the tap water through them and then a 2 gallon pitcher of PH'ed water...in 3 gallon grow bags. Feel very dumb for that. I even felt bad doing it. The tap water is around 8.0....I mixed to 6.5. I am sure this caused lockout. The bitches are moody. Is this bitchiness of all autos???

I am going to hope for the best with these and start more till I get this. I have a beautiful photo room, 10' x 14'. This is disappointing. Will this stunt or damage the ending yield and dankness???
