STUNTED SICK DROOPY PURPLE STEMMED SEEDLINGS

[big.purpp999]

When I first start I slurry test my medium, then again when I see flowering signs, and then once more about 4 weeks in. There is always pH drift as the coco breaks down. Always nice to know it's on track, and the ladies are eating what's been given.
I mix equal parts medium (taken an inch or so down) and the plain water I use, let it sit about as long as it would take to see runoff in the pot, gently insert pH meter into and get reading. Ppm meter isn't as breakable.
Am guessing here, but when you checked pH did you use strips? If so, growing in coco will require a pH meter, and a ppm meter.
These are 2 weeks today, in coco/perlite,

The nutrient line I use pushes using a calcium molecule rather than salt, so I run a different ph, but it is just as sensitive to fluctuations. Out of range... my girls let me know fast.

Flushed it. The run off ph is still 7 even after flushing with 5.5 nute water. Wtf do i do now. I guesd the dolomite makes it 7

I flushed it the ph is still 7.0 of the run off. I think thats the dolomite

Probably right, in soil I'd say you'd have a chance, I've seen runs go on a steady diet of 7 pH... but in coco, I'm not sure you've got the time to get it in tolerance before you lose the plant, much less recover and get any size before flowering. First 3 weeks are critical to an auto.

For my new grow. Which is a landrace strain. I ran
A small bowl of coco under 3-4 liters of water the ph was still coming out as 6.5 lmao

That seems to be the big issue with coco, getting it prepped, different suppliers have vastly varying products. Would love those [HASHTAG]#s[/HASHTAG] if it was soil.

They probably would’ve made it in soil. Lets see now. I got 6 indian landrace weed strain seeds. These are mysterious as these are seeds from wild weed. Im assuming they are more rigid and used to my countries climate. Feel sad for the blue cheese autos tho! They died. Anyways im using tap water i doubt cal mag wouldve been an issue. Dolomite is a big no in coco. Wish we got calmag in my countrt

Hey my plants are doing better now. One leaf fell but the new growth aswell as the second set of leaves have become greener after the flush.
The purple stem from the “phosphorus” defecencies has gone away. Is it a posibility that when i first added dolomite to my coco and i did not mix it properly and basically washed it the fuck away since then there was no calcium in my mix? And maybe because i topped it with dolomite this week thinking i have a cal mag def (2 days before flushing) it started getting fine? Was the lack of cal-mag causing an uptake issue? Or do you think the dolomite was the culprit? Maybe the High ph of the slurry was fhe reason this all happened and the initial dolomite that i almost washed away caused it? IM CONFUSED now as im doing another grow wether should i add dolomite or not? Do you think the dolomite was rhe culprit and the flush basically got rid of it? Or the extra dolomite that i added fixed it? Im fucking confused.

Dolomite is for soil grows, decide what nutes you want to run, then see if they offer a coco as well, some will "precharge" for their own stuff.
Coco/perlite is all you need.

If you already have your nutes, no amending. Water, food,cal/mg pH up and down. 5.8 to 6.2 that's about it.

First few rounds you wanna take pretty simple, get used to seeing the different stages of growth and getting your feet wet. Once your confidence has grown some, then start looking for your own way to grow the best medicine. We all do it a little differently, so it's about what works for you.

We dont get ca/mg in our country . So my only source of ca/mg is the base nutes(it contains micro nutes) or the limestone dolomite fertilizer.

There is Calmag in your nutes already. Try setting up a grow as Arthur has suggested and see if you get a Calmag deficiency, if not then keep on growing! If you do, then do what you can to stop it.
