[Mooregrow]

Hello guys new to this site and growing. I’m growing in coco.. 5 gallon pots (I now understand that’s to big for a coco grow) Plants have been stunted because of temperature fluctuations I believe and I’m 5/6 weeks in and I don’t feel there big enough 14inches tall and just started to show pistils, my main question is I have notice some leaves have maybe deficiencies can anyone tell me what these mite be? Thanks

Thank mate!! I got a lot more questions but I will il go though them one at a time haha, been on a few other sites asking questions but is I’m growing autos I think this is the place to be

Why your there though, what do you recon on plant hight and pot size for coco

 

[Dirkgentley]

Well I have only done a few grows but to me that looks like a possible Magnesium deficiency, the experts here may be able to confirm. Are you using Cal-Mag in your nutrients? And 5 gal pots aren't too big, I have seen people use coco in 50 gal pots. But pot size usually determines the size of the plant you will get. I have heard some say one gallon per one foot but I think that is subjective. I usually get like 4 ft plants out of my 5 gallon pots with coco but it definitely depends on the strain. Happy growing! :smoking:

I’m using the full canna range a&b ect so was on the understanding I don’t need need a cal mag supplement..? Though I could be wrong. I have read that but then other people say a smaller pot for coco is better for being able to get sufficient runoff ect (I would imagine it would be quite hard to water a seedling in a large pot like 50 gallon but then I don’t know much only what I have read in the recent weeks, I thought this was going to be so much easier than it is

Yeah I just bought my first brick of Coco a couple of days ago and I'm running dry amendment nutes, what nutes are you using? Have you checked the pH of your Coco? I would start by checking to make sure that your pH is in check, but also Coco requires lots of cal/mag

Yea as far as I know you definitely need a cal-mag supplement with coco. I use the Botanicare Cal Mag Plus 2ml/gal through out the grow. I pre-buffer my coco with cal mag as well so I usually don't worry about run off until they get a bit established. As far as I know run off prevents salt build up from nutrients and I usually don't start nutrients until they are about a week old. But technically yes you need more water for the larger pot you use as well. And all the super big pots like that I saw were on large scale outdoor grows so. A good place I started is cocoforcannabis.com maybe it will help u

My bad I just see that you said you are using canna, yeah I would just check pH of your Coco first and maybe a more experienced Coco grower will jump in here
