This is the second time I have tried to grow in Coco. the first time I didn't have great results so I scraped that and went with Promix I had good results. Now I tried Coco again grotek Coco mixed. The grow shop keeps pushing this stuff on me instead of ProMix.

I used it again and I have added dolomite Lime as a buffer tested the coco it was at 7ph I put my seeds in and after 1 to 2 weeks from sprout.

The first set of leaves has already gone yellow and they look stunted as shit. ill try and get a picture later tonight. I don't understand there must be somthing I am missing with Coco vs ProMix. I am trying my hardest not to over water. I don't think I am as I have been using my moisture tester and sticking my finger in the pot. Its pretty dry. and wet when I water em. but the plant does still drop right over. looking like what it would with over watering. The leaves arn't dry though they have moisture in them.

What should my Ph of water im giving to these plants be at? They are too young for Nutes so its just water and superthrive right now. I figured just below 7Ph correct say 6.5 to 6.8?

Damm Coco, Im thinking of just scraping these little fuks and starting again with ProMix, and telling my grow shop that I will not be buying that shit again. They promised me that with this preMixed coco I would not have to add anything but Dolomite Lime.

thats the stuff its Mixed in the Bag it feels like it has sand added to it and I can see Varmiculite and perlite.. They push it so hard on me. and worst thing they dont sell proMix im forced to buy it at Canadian Tire, So its not BX its just plain Jain ProMix Potting soil. which for the most part worked out fairly well with some added Perlite. Its says its nothing more than PeatMoss and 25% Perlit and Varmiculite.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Is there somthing more to know about Coco? Its so easy for me to get here in the city. the store is basically right beside my apt. thats why i tried it again. Plus i thought with another grow under my belt I would be able to make it happen this time around.

thanks in advance
