COCO COIR Plants are drooping after watering

[Stevepmd]

Hello,
My plants are drooping right after watering and want to know if this is normal.
one plant is in a 5 gallon fabric pot and the second plant is in a 1 gallon yello pot.
I P.H the water to 5.8 ppm is 400 room temperature is at 26.
I water untill I have about 20% run off.

Thanks
Steve

Do they perk back up?

[Stevepmd]

Yes the plants come back in about 3 hours or so.. I just need to know if this drooping is slowing the growth of tbe plants.

[Mr.furley]

As long as they bounce back you should be fine.
How often do you water?

[Stevepmd]

I have been watering every other day.

Here is a photo of the plant right now, they have perked up now and the light has not come on yet.

it's fine. I water every day. a little droop is fine as long as it's temporary and there are no other signs of trouble. They look a little small still, perhaps try a little less water until the roots are filling up the pots. I do about a pint when they;re that size, maybe 1.5. Every day.

just a guess

Hey Cronk,
Thanks for that info. I did a watering with alittle less water and so far so good no droop, I was on youtube and this cannabis grow who has been using Coco for a long time is telling me the droop is because im letting tne Coco to dry out to much he is recommending watering 2 times a day if possable but water everyday.

perfect

Hey Cronk,
I have a question. For you I see you grow in Coco and you have a automatic top feed into Coco how big is you resiour.

[Cronk]

It's 20 gallons filled to about 15. I have this system dismantled right not because It's too hot where I grow to run a res without bacteria issues. hand watering now

I water 2times a day. Ur ppm is low imo. I bet they don't droop if watered with a higher ppm. In flower I water 3-5 times a day when work allows.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for all your help & tips everything seems to be running good now and the plants look good.
I started to water everyday and I have been doing that for the past 4 days so far so good. I also started to increas the ppms for the 2 older plants Im at 550 ppms.

I also water the seedlings everyday the are 2 weeks old my tap wster is 130ppms and my final pp s for them are at 350ppm. I do have a question about the smaller plants they are about 3 weeks old from seed, I have noticed in the center of the plants its color is a brite lime green I have heard that can be a sign that they need a higher ppm? Take a look at tbe photos and .et me know what you guys think.

The smaller ones are definitely starving..imo I think they need a little nitrogen. What kinda nutes are you using..

[Stevepmd]

Hey Mud,
Im using General Hydroponics Flora 3 part . I use CaMg. FloraMicro and Flora Bloom.

[Stevepmd]

So the light green in the center means they need more nitrogen

Haha I just bought the entire gh line up. Including liquid Kool bloom, raw yucca powder, armor si and rapid rooter. I wanted to try it cause a friend uses it. I have been using Greenleaf (megacrop) with great success. But it's easy to get nitrogen toxicity with it. The exact opposite of your issue. I'd maybe up EC a bit via more veg nutes
