First grow

[Discreetukk]

Canna coco and yeah what would you suggest with light height and would you recommend of starting fresh ?

 

[Trichome farmer]

No Nutes yet the height of light is 22inchs temp rages from 28 to 30 gets hotter at night humidity sits around 37 40 and I know it’s bad but I can’t tell ya the ph I have been watering every 2 days roughly and was just about to start with fox farm organic big bloom but don’t wanna waste my time if it isn’t worth it with this one thanks also I am quite new to this well proper newbie I am just researching about ph

okay mate well theres a few things i can see straight away that will cause issues those temps to start with 37-40c is plant killing territory any hotter it will die you really need to find a way to keep the temps below 30 at least and preferably between 22-28c how long do you run your extraction fan 24/7 or 15 mins on/off (do you have one ?) the light sounds close for this stage of the grow with a 600w hps you can leave it alot futher away and almost let the plants grow to it instead of moving the light id go to at least 4 foot away for now
the ph is super important when your in coco really needs to kept in the range of 5.5 to 6.2 your water could be too low or high without adjusting theres two ways to do it get a ph pen and some calibration fluid dosnt need to be fancy or expensive just keep it calibrated or you can get a small tester kit which is much cheaper but not as exact

Running coco there are not water days between feed days. You feed from the very start, and every time.

Pics under normal light would help, but I've had hps runs in the distant past, and they look yellow to me. Underfed. There is no food in coco, it is an inert, empty, that's why coco growers like it, it gives way more control as to the inputs going into your plant.

PH between 5.8 and 6.2 going in and coming out. Ppm I'd like to hear someone running canna chime in.

Feeling your lighting is too close as well. Little ones don't need a ton of light, first couple weeks they are focused on building a rootzone.


And temps... under hps 20 to 24*
Led we run at a higher temp due to the lack of infra red.

Thank you for your advise I have moved light height also I will be ordering one now for sure what would you suggest with it could it resolve it self or is it to late I have noticed it hasn’t done any growing for good couple days I also got few more seeds to pop if this goes wrong I don’t have a extracter fan or carbon filter I didn’t think I needed all this till it starts to smell I have two 8 inch fans with vents open it’s near window for fresh air lol ? With couple humidity’s bit of a shit set up tbh I got 1200 x 1200 7 foot maybe bit bigger

i think he's talking about the humidity being 35 to 40 and i can grow all year round mostly with the rh it could be better also with coco from day 1 of a seedling you should be using nutes in very low amounts at first i start at an ec of 0.6 for young plant also @Arthur i was typing this as you did yours also @Discreetukk why are you watering every 2 days i would be giving her a good feed and then why shes so small until i know she needs it i lift my pots but don't let her dry out as this is helping the roots

 

[Arthur]

I'd kill for a year round rH of 40...

 

[Arthur]

I'd start feeding! Chances are they'll pop right back. Not terrible yet, just looking hungry. You can run the extractor if you need it to help control temps, personally I can run with my tent door open, but I understand that not all have that option.

thanks for reply trying to keep up with everyone’s comments I have fox farm big bloom is this any good for autos also the temp is around 28 during day and at night it seems to get hotter for some reason around 30c

 

[Arthur]

You need to get those temps under control, big bloom is a flowering additive. If you want to stick with fox farms, you'll need the fox farms "trio" and they have a schedule... it would need adjusting for autos.

Or canna nutrients.
Unfortunately, in a coco run, you'll need to feed a balanced diet, and that requires a few bottles. There are some guys on here that run mega crop as well, that seems to be a 1 and done fert... might take a look at that.

What is a ideal temperature and I will look in to it I think I might start fresh and ask for some advise for soil etc on here like would is a normal set up like is 600 too much light shall I go down to 400 250 so yeah got lots of questions tbh
