Thanks for your reply mate.
time for a flush then i think..
I'm not sure bout the not poss to overwater w/ coco thoughts, I've never used it. But puffy droopy leaves are usually a sure sign of over watering.

NO! Don't cover the tops of the pots! The lack of light will kill the algae but then that warm, damp, dark enviornment will grow mildew.

Knowing what I know about coco, which isn't much, I'd flush out the nutes with plain water (no nutes) thats been adjusted to a 6 pH then let it dry out completely before the next watering, which prob wont be long cause that coco should dry quickly.

Letting it dry will start a wet/dry cycle and get the roots to search for water and make a large root system, plus letting it dry out on top will kill off any algae thats there.
Slevinkal Reviewed by Slevinkal on . Advice needed please possibly plant problem. I used to grow last year and i used rockwool and had no problems for a few grows. I've just started a grow and i thought i'd give cocoponics a go..I just noticed one of my plants has a lightening green band on one of the lower leaves and the bottom set of leaves on most of the plants have twisted quite bad!!! I think i've overferted them as i've been given them weal nutes every feed once a day. i would like your opinion please so i can nip this problem in the bud..otherwise these plants Rating: 5
