That picture had to be removed because it had your shipping address on it. Please donāt post your personal information, itās against forum policy.
From what I noticed, that meter didnāt test ph. Did you get a different model for ph?
Didnāt know it had it damn Iām sorry

Ok I am curious now I just transplanted 3 of my plants into coco soil as pic above shows which type. But Iām curious if me adding 1/2 teaspoon of molasses and a teaspoon of fish fertilizer 5.1.1 is a good idea as there tap waterwater source till I get my ph/TDs reader in mail on Saturday. Or is there something else I can water/feed the 3 plants now. They grew there 2nd tierās leaves beautifully and reminding 7 seedlings are growing slow. I have out of the 7 seedlings I have 2 standing 2" pretty ladies about to form there 2nd tiers.
@Myfriendis410 @Covertgrower @monkman @LiftedLorax @GenghisRon
Just take your PPM readings before adding the molasses.
Ok. I canāt take any reading till I get my ppm &tds reader in the mail on Saturday. How should I water&feed my 3 plants right now as I was before with tap water with foxfarm soil& fertilizer (grow big) 1-1/2 teaspoon itās what I been using from the very beginning of seedlings to soil. So maybe now I should step up to the 2-3 teaspoons it requires on bottle general feeding. You tell me my man Iām listening
Is it coco loco from Fox farms? If so no feeding is necessary for weeks.
If itās straight up coco than they will need some feed but I donāt use the bottled nutes or straight up coco and thatās a different beast. I think ph should hover around 5.8 and the feed at 1/4 strength to start and increase as they get more massā¦bigger plants eat more
My guess anyway

i might be wrong on this, but you donāt need to feed the little guys until they are a bit bigger. they live off the cotyledon leaves (those are the round first set of leaves) for a while. but iām in peat starter soil, not coir so it might be different for that. but my plants donāt get any nutes until they have their 4th set of serated l leaves out. that is when i consider them done with the seedling stage and starting the veg stage. but from what i understand, you donāt need to feed seedlings. if you are going to feed them, make sure that it is a very small dose

Theyāll need a light feeding. Coco has no nutrients.
@Covertgrower what would you recommend feeding my ladies out of these 3
and how much everyone says something different Iām listening to you guys in here my family

@Italianking Iām as new as you, so I donāt have much advice. Iām learning from the same guys you are. However, Iām growing in potting soil, not coco. I didnāt even know what that was until I joined the forum. I am following advice and havenāt fed any nutrients yet. I purchased Chicken Soup For The Soil, but will probably order jacks 321 because I hear alot of people swear by it.

Never even heard of those 2 of the jacks and the chicken soup
Dr jims chicken soup for the soup is a liquid. Itās simple to apply. Jacks 321 is three granular supplements that is mixed and according to the directions has to be done a certain way( I havenāt used it, so this is second hand knowledge) Iām pretty sure some of the people you have tagged in here use it and can offer more advice, although alot of people use fox farm too. I just learned about the others first, so thatās what I have. Any of them are easily ordered online, just Google them. Relatively inexpensive as well.
You should always lightly feed. This is the soil schedule, i wasnāt able to find the coco schedule, but this a good start. Cal-mag is a must in coco. Coco you want the ph at 5.8-6.0

@Covertgrower @Myfriendis410 @monkman @Skydiver curious question after transplanting my 3 ladies in a medium pot there looking amazing and growing quickly with beautiful leafās, I have 2 smaller trees to plant 1 is an amazing size maybe 2" and barely showing her 2nd leaves but a beautiful plant. The other is around 3-1/2" tall stretched just a few days older. My question is in the pic of the middle plant it was growing sideways for 5 days so I tried to help the seed shell that was stuck on it, the 1/4" stub broke off would this plant still grow or will it die now under the soil
Everyone emerges on their own time.
@Covertgrower so do u think this plant will survive that snapped on accident trying to free the stuck shell sideways plant in middle of pic
next time you get a helmet (shell) stuck on your plant put a dollop of spit on it, let it sit for an hour or so then do it again. wait for a bit and then it will be likely you will be able to slip the seed pod off the plant without damage, but donāt force it. i canāt tell by looking but if you took the cotyldon leaves off that plant when you broke it then i doubt that it will grow, but donāt really have any real experience to prove that one way or the other.

Not likely that it will survive no. I usually use tweezers to get the shell off.
