First Coco Grow, seedlings need help plz!

[cypher420]

Hi so this is my 2nd grow, first coco grow and sadly i'm already having issues! my plants are about 14 days old and have stopped growing and are turning yellow/white/brown! I thought i was using too much light before so cut it down a few days ago but still no improvement.

at first was using 2 t5's hanging above and 4 cfl 6400k bulbs. thought that was too much light for sprouts so just put it under the 2 t5's and 1 cfl bulb.

here are pics of two of my sprouts. let me know what you think.

i've been PH'ing the water to about 5.5-6.0 since i know coco uses a bit less PH. no nutes yet tho just straight water and coco.

Well, those look like they're not gonna make it. I'm assuming you kept them moist and watered. What kind of temperatures were they in? How close did you have the lights to them?

the t5's are about 3 inches away and the flouros were about 4 inches around the sides.

i tried to keep it as moist as possible but with this coco it requires water almost every day....is that normal?

Well, to me, they look like they've been over heated, or maybe the bottom of the pot was moist, but it didn't get enough water where it needed it...

They need food!!!!

Coco is not soil, it's a hydroponic medium. Shouldn't be treated like soil at all!

Hate to link to other sites, but we're seriously lacking on the coco info around here...

the Hand Watering coco thread - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

There are other good stickies in that section...

Good luck, hope they pull through.
