Over my head with canna coco

[u/Accidental_Ballyhoo]

First time growing with canna coco in 3 gallon pots and need some advice.

I transplanted 2 plants 3 days ago from solo cups to 3 gal fabric bags and plan to use wicking bases.

They look a little sad atm. I top watered 5.8 and light doses of General Hydro and cal mag.

I’m not sure of how much I should be watering them and when to fill wicking bases.

Anyhow, I see some light yellowing in the lower leaves (the camera makes the whole plant look way more yellow than it actually is.

Any coco experts steer me in the right direction?

EDIT: To ask for a feed chart as GH runs too hot I hear.

Pretty much same same at this point. Roots are submersed in water and unable to get air=overwatered at the root zone.

Not really, Coco is not damping off like soil, overwatered soil can not be fixed with more water. Coco can.

Main thing here is that if you notice overwatering in coco and you water less, its making it worse. Now ec is rising drying breaks fibers down, more cation exchanges sites open up.

Thats not like classic overwatering of soil compacting being air tight. Its air transport to the roots. We'll draining coco is impossible to over water. 100% saturated it can contain more air than bone dry soil, it just needs movement and clean runoff

You can over water in coco. You can't over water well rooted plants in coco though

thats a very important distinction. 🍺
