I'm having some very serious issues with transitioning to Coco/Perlite.
I have set a drip system with a reservoir and I use Dutch Pro nutrients and try to his 800-1000 PPM w/hard water.
I try to water once a day, sometimes every two days and adjust the pH every time. I leave the nutrients until all the water is gone and I have to refill it.
Some plants have run-off trays and some don't. Doesn't seem to make a difference, as the water just stays inside the pots like soil. I can't tell why.
Lights are 600w at proper distance.
Temperature is kept at ~28C with good air-circulation.
The plants don't seem to die quite as easily and they NEVER wilt like they did in soil, but they just won't grow.
I have several clones that are simply dying. I'm not sure if I'm watering them too much or too little but they shouldn't be dying - I know that for sure.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.
I'm considering uprooting all the plants and putting them back into soil where it's safe.
Thanks.
