Nutrients Where have i gone wrong with biotabs/autopots?

Yeah she seems to be perking up for sure. This forum is great. Within a couple of hours of posting I had all the information needed to correct the problem and seems like got it right first time too, plus a load of suggestions for improving next time.

Funny you should say that he actually brought a girl back with the coco. That was the unexpected visitor but luckily she was fully conscious

Condition update: She still looks horrendous but seems to be holding her leaves up better and looks healthier. She's now developed a weird lighter green shade on the most recent growth and browning/spots which seems worse since even this morning. This was what had me wondering if its cal/mag deficiency that i've read about when growing under cobs.

Also we decided that since we've already stunted her most likely, we both wanted to learn how to pull a leaf off cleanly for light defol if needed at some point in future grows, now might be an opportune moment to try as she's already messed up so surely cant get worse right? So turns out its pretty easy so that was pointless but i've been thinking about it literally all day today at work. It now seems pretty stupid to take leaves off a small sick plant for no purpose. So theres another rookie mistake ticked off (i'm on a roll with this grow )

I dug down to try to see the roots too but couldnt find many to be honest so i'd say that probably has something to do with it like most people mentioned. Didnt dig down too far was scared of hurting her more than I already have but maybe not root rot as what I could see was white but again i dont know anything yet (soon )

Sister to me looks good, that's only in comparison though and she has turned darker green now as was quite pale green (i'd convinced myself that was due to fast growth ) so seems like again you guys nailed it with light stress from only seeing the poorly one with no bleaching on it and a bit of info so on both counts.

Also 2 new seeds in a moist paper towel in a dvd case in the tent, clay pebbles being washed and coco has been bought and ill be starting a journal soon, not sure where yet and i'll make sure to tag you in stoneyT (how do i do that? :smoking

Pictures (please ignore my horrific first attempt at lst)

tagging is easy just type in @ then my name after it no spaces like this @stoney T

For your next ones give pure coco a try mate, with 2 inches or so of perlite in the bottom almost covering air dome. Very hard to have overwatering issues with coco. Works a treat with tabs and autopots. Easier to hand water young babies too. Plus fast growth. No need to mix anything into the coco (perlite etc) as it won't improve anything.

(I don't sell coco lol)

Ya the only thing I ever top dress in coco is worm castings
