im a nexbie

A few things stick out to me:

1) 15L pots are pretty big for new clones in coco. Plants grown in coco like smaller containers compared to soil.

2) ph is way off. Should be between 5.5 and 6.2 with coco, many prefer in the 5.8-6.2 range.

3) Are your nutrients coco-specific? I'd check out Canna's site: About Coco | CANNA UK and make sure you are following there instructions.

4) Check your nutrient amounts according to Canna's schedule. From the pics it looks over-fertilized, but it could be related to your ph problem or 'contamination'.

I'd put them maybe a little farther away from that 600w, if you have some other lights like fluoros or cfl's, that would be even better, just to nurse them back to health. And find out what 'contamination' it was. Pests? disease?

happy easter to everyone! hope you didnt eat to much chocolates! lol.
anyway i found the cause to my problem.apparantly they had been over fed.and since they was like it when i got them from clones i am assuming that it wasnt me who over fed them. so thats pleased me.
now i have been tol;d that plants love co2? so i did a bit more research on the co2 thing. apparently if you add sugar, yeast and water shake it up etc... put a pipelet into the the cap where you have just drilled a whole this lets off co2. i have been on so many forums and mainly they are all saying the same thing. but in different ways. so i spoke to a friend who used to grow. and he told me that if i did that and put it in the frow room the plants will die????? as long as i have intake and outtake of air there isnt a problem. but if i was to do the co2 thing with the sugar etc... they will die over night? but i have not read that any where? so what do you guys think. plus my humidity has gone down to 22% and temp 77 farah. i have put a jug of water in there and a wet towel. am i going the right way about thngs?
if anyone answers please do no talk with your mouth full. (of easter eggs!) lol

am i a boring person? or un interesting or what?

Don't worry, you're not boring or un-interesting. Sometimes it can take a while to get a responce here. It being Easter, people may be going nuts looking for eggs.

I'm sure you'll get some responce. :thumbsup:

i have radio in my room and i say good morning before the lights come on and good night when they go off...sometimes i smoke with them just giving them company but the radio makes them feel they are not alone and they get good ol rock music and i think they enjoy it...i do when i'm working in the room so i know they have to like it over the monotinous sound of fans:jointsmile:

believe it or not i have a radio in the room. sometimes it heart fm then another. i chop and change the music sometimes i let them listen to my cd#s and yes im sorry.... i read books with them. like they are babies. >bonkers or what<
so if c o2 is good for them and if you read about the mixture further up, why am i being told now by someone who used to grow it before he got busted that i will kill the plants over night????

maybe your friends plants died from to high of co2 level in an enclosed area....but overnight...highly unlikely it was co2...read up and educate your self with books like JORGE CERVANTES MEDICAL MARIJUANA BIBLE and quit listening to friends...do your own thing and learn...searching and reading on this site can help also :thumbsup:

thats exactly what im try to do. lol

CO2 is the last thing you need to worry about as long as you have fresh air exchange... It'll be a waste of time and money in your setup http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-...ent-guide.html

Good to hear you found the problem. Keep us updated :jointsmile:

yeah i would not worrie about the co2 just look at all the other ppl's logs on here who grow good fire buds without tha co2 thing if your a new grower i would just keep it as simple as you can untill you atleast grow and harvest a few plants just to get the hang of it:jointsmile::stoned::D
