New grower

Hello Jamie I am using terra professional mate it's really easy it's really not a lot different from coco really (which I used for years) this is the first time using the terra professional but not the first time in soil. Any way the pH needs to be between 5.8 when plants are small and 6.2 when mature I'm in 15 litre plastic pots I'm watering every 3 or 4 days to run off just like coco really I haven't read thru all this thread but Mr scoops says you have over watered so don't water again until the pots are light if the plants are small water with 10 per cent of your pot size every other day for example I'm in15 ltr pots so I would use 1.5 ltrs easy hope this helps mate

Got bags off it notice the different from
Coco and terra got 4 in coco and 1 in terra mine got plenty in the pot the now feed going water them once
They dry here one mine in terra

Ps there's not a lot of feed in the terra either mate you have to feed every water not water, feed as you would normally with soil I use ec 1.0 when small 1.2 for veg 1.4 during stretch and back down to 1.0 mid flower again that's me every one has there own way mate it's just finding your way and you will keep your eye on your plants and you will be good

Im impressed how the one in the canna terra has taken off compared to the coco ones.

Ahh good man

Theirs really no need to water this stuff to run off like you do with coco and that applies to most if not all typo soil grows really, but more so with this cus your just washing away the goodness that's in soil and this stuff will be full of organic goodies, well in my opinion anyhow.

I read it had plenty of organic base feeds in like worm castings which will need to be broken down over a few weeks before they come available to roots so ideal for a young plant thats just sprouted, it wont register much and it will give ya a false reading if checking run off cus of the mostly organic vibe its got going. Well its what im getting from reading about it anyhow Wrh.

Why’s my plants look pale and yellow ish

[Jamie182861]

Did some research says it’s a lockout ph is not right here what I found is this right guys

PH AND NUTRIENT LOCKOUT
Soil growers have the advantage of cultivating in a medium, that acts as a buffer for roots. Hydroponics and coco are not quite as forgiving to pH imbalances. Even soil growers need to at least come close to getting the ideal pH of 6.0-7.0 and maintain it, otherwise plants will suffer. 5.5 to 6.5 pH is generally agreed upon as the recommended range for hydro and coco. Yellow leaves can be a warning sign, that you don’t have your nutes dialled in and the pH is off.

Essentially when the pH of your nutrient solution strays above or below the particular sweet spot for your substrate, it prevents complete absorption of all the elements of the solution. Roots are starved of certain nutrients and micronutrients as the incorrect pH causes a lockout.

I think the ec is set at 1.2 in the bag it's a light mix and canna says to water the first time then feed every time
