I saw your other thread in the plant problems section. The 1st set of pics looked fine but the 2nd pic in the 2nd set are yellower than I would be comfortable with. Especially seeing as they were greener yesterday than they are today. I think you should take Sarah Louise's advice and up the nute dosage.
Phew... glad someone else thinks the same. I think I'll water tonight with the increased nute dosage, or tomorrow morning.Quote:

Tell me about it mate, I am in a panic today because I think my girls are turning into ladyboys and after watching that video I have realised that some of the leaves at the top of my plant are "Transpiring" (getting rid of water to cool down) so when the lights go on later I have to re-arrange my fans, add another one and take a photo of my ladies suspected ballsack.Quote:

What time of day are you watering? It's best to water them when the lights turn on.
Dang hope you don't end up with a bunch of hermies.. =[. Yea those videos are pretty awesome!Quote:

Day 9 - PM - V3g
- Found out I'm under nuteing...
- Made a fresh bottle (46oz) of nutes @ 2.0ml of AnB (part a and b)
- Plants seem dry till 1"~ below coco
- Will water tomorrow morning with fresh nute mix.
Judging by my last watering that had 1.0ml of nutes (from 0.5ml) the plants are starting to green today. After punching in my nute-mix-holder volume of (a v8 splash bottle) 46oz. It was recomended at 1-3 weeks I use 2.5ml of nutes, instead of my 0.5ml first and then 1.0ml just 2 days ago.
It would appear I was only dosing my nutes at roughly... 1/5th the reccomended. Whoops! :stoned:

LOOKING GOOD! :thumbsup:
i love vegging my plants in coco because its hard to over water and the growth rate is amazing... but i would water every day until runoff with coco and also i would use nutes every other watering or every other day
i go back to soil for flower because i get airy dry buds with coco and with soil the buds are alot denser and more flavor to them .. but thats my 2cents
@bickey - Thanks for the heads up. I may look into watering every day (nutes every other). I'm just so scarred of over watering for my first grow.
Day 10 - AM - Veg
- Watered this morning with new nute mix at 2.0ml/46oz
- Plants still look to be recovering from my nute deficiency.
- More green / Less yellow

Got bored and decided to take some macro shots during lunch.
Could someone explain what those tiny white dots are? Hairs? Also notice the edges of the leaves have a dark dot or coloration to it. Whats up with that? New growth?

looks like you might have a nute lock out i would flush then nute next watering.. are you using calmag? dont be scared to over water them in coco.. water every day till run off.. also how are you watering? are you letting them sit in their runoff? i would let them drain over a sink until they stop dripping then put them back.. the more water you put through them the faster they are gunna grow you have to treat coco as hydroponics ...
Hmm... I'm not using CalMag but was thinking about it since my water is RO and then de-ionized.
I'm beginning to think the de-ionized part is screwing with my grow.
Do you reccomend I add CalMag to RO water? Tomorrow I will flush with just RO water. :hippy:
