Should I start over?

What do

Ah ok, then disregard what I said lol. It looked a lot like mine, I know there's cocunut stuff in mine as well. Yeah, she definetly looks a ton better. I had some arugula die because I was giving it too much light and water. I'm no plant surgeon.

It's all good bro. I was definitely overwatering so your eyes were right.

I’m also in coco and I love it because I don’t have to guess when it comes to watering/feeding. I also keep my light distance on the higher side and it’s worked great so far. Two plants are 7 days older than the other 4 and they all started 36-40” away with no problems. Very cool to see the progress man.

Thanks my friend. I was excited to see them progress myself. Hopefully they put some decent size on before they start to flower.

Plants took a turn for the worse. I wasn't adding the Silica and nutrients correctly causing lockout. I did a flush.
But I am still confused about how to mix nutrients correctly.

I start with ro water at a ph of 7.2
First I add Protekt Silica that puts ph at 10.04 then I ph down to 6.5 then add Dynagrow Grow but that drops my ph down to 4.8. And this is where I get lost. What should I do next? I should not add Ph up to a mix that already has ph down? So how do I get the ph up? I tried to add more water but throes off my ppm. What am I doing wrong please help.

Hi @DoobieBroGrows !

When ive added silicon to my feed i would only worry about ph once everything else was added after silicon

Ok that is what I thought. I guess I just overthinking it. I should have just add the silica then the nutrients then check ph. I think I must have misunderstood my buddy and added in an extra step

theres lots of conflicting advice about adding silicon

i use advanced nutrients liquid silicon and that says to ph to 7 after adding silicon before adding nutes

ive also read that it doesnt matter when u add the silicon but still do it first jus to b safe!

I think if I ph to 7 instead of 6.5 it will work better. I will test it out.

I am starting to regret doing coco. I didn't think squirting a said amount of one liquid into another liquid would be so Damn hard.
