Grow Mediums First coco grow, comments/help wanted !

Try watering them more slowly and a little at a time. I've got different watering can heads and some are much more gentle - dont just gush water in if it's just pouring out the bottom straight away - make the coco moist and then slowly water.

If your coco is not so good and very dry, you can try using a little bit (a few drops) of washing up liquid to help the coco absorb more and become more springy (thanks @Waira .. i just read and stole that advice )

With blue on this one. Sound advice.

Will try water them more slowly as you suggest
I will also try to buy some sort of syringe that i can use to gather the water from the trays and spray it at the coco again
not sure about the washing up liquid, i rather just keep it as simple as possible as this is the first grow i have ever done
If you want i can post more pics in some days or so

Water 10% of the Potsize and you will be ok with a nice dryout cycle on Coco.

so i should water 0,3 gallons? And should i water when the coco seems dry ? or how often?

Lift your pots up when they are wet and feel how heavy they are then let then dry out around 24 hours then feel how heavy they are they should feel a lot lighter gives you a basic idea of when to water

Depends on the Metabolism of the Plant. Normaly i have a 2 day dry out cycle. So i have to water every 2 days. An i water when the pot feels light. At the beginning to try this out i just sticked my finger in the coco if it feels dry at the tip of my finger i watered.

 

[larsel]

okay, i will try water a bit less and let the coco dry out some more before i water next time
