Coco grow going sideways, I need some help!

[Shneex0338]

I did follow the well known coco guide (don't know if I'm allowed to mention other websites here), but I think you know which one. The one we all know & everyone recommends, with 3 waterings a day. I felt like one would be enough, but is it really fine to completely skip waterings in coco? I heard it's so similar to hydro, and that it needs daily waterings to thrive and survive. Maybe the root system needs to build more until I can daily water? I'm new, so I can just guess.

And is it okay if I flushed already, or did I cause damage by lowering the EC of the runoff to ~1EC? I imagine it'll just rise up again over time, or?

But yes, I guess I will just skip the watering today & see how the plant looks tomorrow, it's the only thing I haven't tried yet.

I think it just need a bit more time between waterings, all sounds perfect. Even the 1.7ec inside the lot is normal. It should be even higher. I grow in coco and water at 1.8 EC with medium ec around 3-4. Try lifting the pot to get a better idea of the water content by weight. Water less often and I'm sure it will perk up

Hey GWE people!

This website pulled me through my first low budget grow around 10 years ago. I just did it for fun, just because. Now 10 years later, I wanted to do it once again, but failed all my organic grows. I then switched to coco.

And what can I say? At first, it was a blessing. No overwatering issues, nothing. It seemed perfect. But in the past few days (almost 2 weeks), I ran into an annoying problem. My plant just.. droops. It doesn't pray, the leaves don't really get up a lot, they just slightly move upwards over a few hours at lights on, and then severely drop right onto the ground already a few hours before the lights turn off. I just don't know what to do anymore.

But, as I'm a professional in being stupid and asking questions everywhere, I know what to do:

• Canna Coco Professional substrate, prebuffered
• Canna Coco nutrient line (A+B, Rhizo, Cannazyme), Aptus Regulator Silica, and BioBizz Calmag / PH Down
• Humboldt Seed Company Gazzurple strain (Photo fem)
• DLI currently only at 15, as the leaves serrated edges started curling upwards at 25DLI, even at 20
• Two other seedlings are in the same tent, and they are both praying and really happy, even at 25DLI, one is the same strain as the big plant
• Light: MarsHydro FC3000
• Fresh air going in, old air going out, smart fan system
• Temps not perfect, always at around 23-25°C, humidity at around 60-70%, nighttime 18-20°C.
• Plant got fimmed 2 days ago, even though it already was sad, but whatever.
• Feeding at 0.9EC (Water has 0.4EC by default), pH between 5.8 and 6.0, going by the canna coco schedule
• I feed ONCE a day with 15-20% runoff

I don't know what to do anymore. It's been droopy for 10+ days already. I haven't found one fix yet. Even the top of the stem is drooping to the side, fimming wasn't the cause for the droopy stem, it's been like this for a few days already. I did something a bit more severe yesterday, and flushed the plant once, as I noticed a runoff EC of 1.7, even though I'm only feeding 0.9EC. I flushed just once with low nutrient PH water, and the EC was at an acceptable 1.0 then. That's all I did so far.

If there are any questions, I'm ready to answer them. I really need help, as it's insanely sad to watch the plant just not doing its best. I want it to be happy, but I don't know how or what I'm doing wrong.
