I'm filling this out for soil since its more of a soil than a hydro thang.
Soil Growers: 1. Are you growing from seed or clones?
Bagseed.
2. How old are your plants?
2 weeks since they hit the cubes, about 10 days since they popped. 7 days since I planted to the coir. So, 2 weeks?
3. How tall are your plants?
Seedlings.
4. What size containers are they planted in?
Solo Cups
5. What is your soil mix?
Straight coir.
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use?
Tap water that has been ph'd. Second watering was today...see details.
7. What is the pH of your water?
Yellow...which is supposed to be 6 to 6.5...leaning more to the 6.5 I think.
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio?
Fed 1/4 strength FF Grow Big just now.
9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?
No.
10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")
CFL for now. I'm thinking about 150w.
11. How close are your lights to the plants?
4 inches?
12. What size is your grow space in square feet?
About 2x1. Small box. See picture.
13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?
I don't have a thermometer in there but I know its less than 80. Humidity IDK.
14. What is the pH of the soil?
Unsure. No meter to check unfortunately.
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
Nope.
16. How much experience do you have growing?
About 10+ soil grows, 0 successes in coir.
This seems to happen every time I try to grow in coir. I want to make the switch so badly, but it just doesn't want to work for me. I popped the seedlings in ph'd watered rockwool. They were doing fine for a week and I dropped them in the coir last Wednesday.
The next day they were all pretty curled under which I would say is a big overwatering. I figured "ok, they're seedlings so they don't have roots to drink the water I gave them, my bad."...but then they all started yellowing AL-FUCKING-READY. This is where I always get stuck with coir.
Today they are still rather curled under which pisses me off to no end. But since they are so yellow, I decided I needed to feed them something to keep them alive, and the only way I know how to do that is by giving them water.... So, despite the overwatering signs I just gave them about 1/4 strength of FF Grow Big hoping it'll save them.
I was under the impression that one couldn't over water coir, so I just gave 'em a real good flushing on the day I planted them. Obviously a mistake.
Can someone please help me out and let me know what I'm doing wrong here? This is just so frustrating.
