Water Day
Each plant received Œ-œ cup of the following pH 6.2 solution:
1 qt Tap
ÂŒ tsp each: Demeterâs, Persephoneâs, Epsom
A few have some discoloration, plus a couple have leaves starting to twist a bit. Thinking Calcium and Magnesium deficiency, from the coco? I have been adding them to every watering in the Jiffy pots. These seedling issues are nothing new to meâIâve never had pretty babiesâbut, I just learned that instead of it being what I used to think was heat or pH related, it could also be early signs of Calcium deficiency. Or Magnesium deficiency? Poop. I forget which one, now.
Also, I use lots of microbes. However, this is the first time Iâm seeing this in seedling stage. Also some on top of the medium. Too many microbes? Or, is this a very good thing? I am 99.99% certain that this is the good, white, fuzzy stuff. Clearly, that .01% is bothering me, though.

I wouldnât worry too much about the mold. Scrape the stuff off the top and maybe cut down on moisture a little bit. Strictly from aspect that if good stuff can colonize I would think bad stuff probably not far. Iâve never grown in coco, but I believe calcium is the typical issue. Seems kinda early to see issue like that with cots on. Any chance itâs just some water beads sitting on leaves under dome?

No chance of that.
I am not scraping off the mold if itâs good stuff, thatâs for sure! That would be sheer lunacy, I say! Also, if it is good stuff, I donât see bad stuff having a chance with that mycco shield in place.
I JUST watered them. Last watering was 3 days ago, at just a few tbsp. I use a big dome over the whole tray and it has ZERO condensation, nor do the leaves. Humidity staying at 65%, temps between 75-79F.
Coco can show these Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies from the start, from what Iâve read, especially using good lights and having the environment dialed in. I may not have charged it with enough, initially.

Could always spray it with hydrogen peroxide. Just to be safe.

Got me then. Your ph should be pretty solid, have anything that could supplement a little calcium without loading up on anything else?

Did you read the post? I am supplementing. No nitrogen added.
@elheffe702
Yes, I add lots of microbes. I think itâs good stuff, too.
@Covertgrower I am not killing my microherd with peroxide.
I am actually extremely happy with the fuzz! I spent a lot of money the grow that microherd! I hope this bodes well!

If you get green or otherwise, then Iâd be concerned. Might not want to get down there and huff it or anything, but itâs probably just mycelium from the good guys.

I hunted out Calcium supplements with zero nitrogen many, many grows ago.

Thatâs my thought. And hope. No other colors or spores. In a couple days, theyâre going into their final homes. I guess Iâll find out soon enough if itâs all good, right?
I am gonna let em ride, @Covertgrower! Iâm feeling lucky.

What do you use? Mine is Bloom CityâŠitâs 2-0-0, and has some micronutrients, tooâŠMg, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn, but teeny amounts. I hadnât considered the N being an issue, since Iâve only used it with veggies so far. They love it! But cannabis, I could see too much N being an issue if trying to up the calcium, especially in coco. Could I just do the olâ eggshell thing, a la @Budbrother?
