Blog entry Discussion
So the autopots arrived and I finally whittled the three plants down to two. We're left with the ZE and the HBSS that is 13 days old.
HBSS is looking really lovely. Shes a little on the yellow side, so im slowly increasing their feed. Right now im at 2.5G/Gal and im aiming to be at 3G/gal by the end of the weekend and slowly increase until i reach 4G/Gal.
The ZE on the other hand, is giving me grief and i have no idea why. The leaves feel kinda papery/crispy. Does this mean shes underwatered? Her new growth looks malformed and odd...her growth has also slowed down. No bugs (ive checked). The only other thing i can think of is that her roots suffered a little trauma while they were still in the solo cup -- i noticed that they had grown out the bottom holes and had kinda been squished by the weight of the cup.

Temps are at 79 F / RH @ 60%. Leaf surface temps are between 69-75 F. Lights are 31.5" from the canopy and at 21.5-23.5K Lux.
Feed today: 2.5 G of Mega Crop / gal and 0.5 tsp of Great White / gal. Each plant was fed 1 quart (.25 gal) of water.

Help meeeee..

Is that green algae? ZE looks a bit overwatered

okay THANK YOU! yes i think youre absolutely right -- shes overwatered. Everything ive seen online about coco says to water every day, so thats what i did but i honestly think thats WAY too much. I watered/fed today but im gonna hold off on feeding more until i can see the coco get lighter in color. Do you think the papery-ness of her leaves also has to do with overwatering?

Once their roots r established u can water every day sometimes twice a day depending.

I'm not sure because the plants I've grown have all acted differently, I think it depends on the strain mostly. If you let it dry a bit and it gets worse, you'll know it just needs water and you can just give it a good soak

got ittt. forgive this potentially obvious question...but...how can i tell when their roots are established?

Go to the mephisto subforum. A member @slowandeasy put together a great guide for starting seeds in coco. Tells u how much and when to water to get good root development. Everybody who follows his guidelines has great success. Environment is key too. Check it out you’ll have an incredible next crop.

You’ll know the roots r established when they start making big moves above ground and so long as tor temps and humidity r good they’ll start drinking more drying the pots out faster. They will explode if the first two weeks r done right. The next two r important also but these first two weeks really set the tone.
