Are you feeding ferts yet Wu ? Half ml per litre of A&B every 2 to 3 days max, around 50 to 100ml in those size pots should do trick till they have more roots, dont worry about run off yet.

Took your advice this morning.

0.5ml a and b
5.9ph

100ml ran through..just enough to give a slight run off, wasn't intentional but coco just let's it through rapidly lol.

I noticed a difference with not giving low strength nutez this time round, so a note in th3 diary that always give those babies some food to kick start them.

Thanks 2 scoops

50 to 100ml every 2 or 3 days should do trick for a bit now, only thing you prolly need adjust is dosage, but not just yet, give it a week or so on that, but longer time between feeds = more strength ferts, just not atmo till rootage has spread a little.

Thank you Sir.
Not sure why I changed the process for the seedling stage as I've never had an issue at this stage, but just wanted to try water with no nutes. Coco needs nutes from the off..I shall remember :)

She's going to be okay...:)

So here's another one for you coco growers but me to get my head around. So this sherbet, I started off only feeding once every 3 days or so. But I started to notice it looking yellow. So for the last 3 days I've been feeding her daily and I don't think she's changed much.

Higher strength nutrient solution I.e. 2ml/l a and b = every 3 or 4 days

Lower strength nutrient solution I.e. 1ml/l a and b = every day

Basically if the nutrient solution is stronger, there's still plenty of food left in the pot as long as it ain't bone dry and the coco is wet/moist?

If the nutrient solution is weaker, even though the coco maybe moist, the plant would have utilised all the nutrients up..and needs more frequent watering

Not sure if this is right...@2-Scoops and @Keeno - any advice pls?

Cheers

Although she looks nice and green in the photos I think it's the lighting.. she is yellower

Yes right summink along those lines Wu but its still tiny with hardly no roots, i think 2ml maybe too much. Id prolly risk 1ml of A&B per litre every 2 days or just slightly over 1ml a litre, just feed those pots a less amount summink like 50ml to 100ml or so dont worry about soaking pot or run off just yet till you got plant rocking, give it a week or so till its grown a little more and then up it. I use a big 100ml syringe and just spray around bottom of stem. But stick with every few days doing that. You could risk 1.5ml a litre but that seems a fair bit for size they looking atmo so that's up to you if ya risk that. Stick to feeding every 2 days though for now till its got rootage and if doing that coco should hopefully have enough ferts in for where they are at now, even feed that daily as it gets bigger. I'm sure you get jist of what i mean. But end of shift it really sounds like your underfeeding running 1ml a litre every 3 to 4 days. I kinda got nowt writ in stone i just look at plant and judge it and see how im feeling, if its still yellowing after a few of those feeds go with 1.5ml a litre every few days but you dont wanna kill it with too much feed hey yet.

Cheers bro. I'm a plonk. I've got one of those big ass 50ml syringes that I've never used before...Well there's a first for that now! Cheers

Ahh okay so yellowing could be a sign of potentially overdoing it too? I'll feed every couple days then.

The fine roots are coming out the bottom.of the pot..but I want to grow it as much as possible in this prop then take out so it's easier for her to fill her next 15l home.


Big up @2-Scoops . Hope you're well bro

Here's here under the t5..this photo shows the yellow better

Yes i try to do that as well. But i do find once i pot up they tend to green up. But i have them a fair old size before i do pot up. I`d prolly go with 50ml every few days Wu in those dinky pots.

No way with what your feeding, but coco can be overwatered with seedlings and soggy wet roots will lock out ferts, but don't sweat that yet though cus i really think its not enough ferts Wu and why would it be soggy wet cold roots if you were giving feeds every 3 to 4 days its not is it unless its sat in run off. But yes to go every 3 to 4 days between feeds it needs more than 1ml a ltr cus its started to show under ferting symptoms, but much more than that atmo i really think may cause overfert burny typo symptoms, hence why 1ml every few days atmo. Anyhow you`ll be good me thinks. Hope that makes some sort of sense m8

That's lovely mate thank you for explaining. I think I'll be okay. Just need to leave a gap. They ain't sitting in run off, sometimes when I water some will sit at the bottom...but I move the pot around every 12 hours or so in the prop to a dry spot etc.

Big thanks mate.

Go little one go!! Yes over loving seedlings is one of my most common mistakes but she’s gonna be just fine and a beauty at that
