SkyRider Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Cold and/or over watered would be my guess. But I'm a soil not coco grower. Lights on temp is OK, off temp is pretty low though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highgrower Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago I suspect temps are cooler at the root than you think - as @SkyRider says they look cold - and also a bit hungry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlowerChild420 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) Your feed goes in at 1.3ec. Measure the run off. If it comes out at less than that, the coco is using it to buffer/charge cation sites. When your run off comes out at the same ec as it goes in, the coco is buffered. Your run off ec is what is avaliable to the plants. I bet it's less than 1.1 Edited 5 hours ago by FlowerChild420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilgePump Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Id be inclined to warm em up a bit and do as @FlowerChild420 suggests, provided you can get em toasty and they're not sat in their run off it shouldn't be a problem at all but you'll come away with more information.

FlowerChild420 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Nah. I've told you how to check if what I'm saying is correct. If you're never going to water to runoff you've got bigger problems that I don't want to help with, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
