Here are two SS Fem, this is my first run of Photos. These ladies are in Cultivation nation 5gal pots. Something is off. when i first mended soil , the ppms were out of this world, so i flushed and have been keepin them around the 600-700 range, and ph 6.3-6.4. These have been veggving for about 4.5 weeks, and i just cant put my finger on what is going on. Light greenish yellow leaves, and droopy, ugh im on the struggle bus, please help.

Target 1,000.
Plants look good. Don’t worry about the bottom leaves. The plant will eventually shed them.

whats the best way to get them up higher, and this is my first coco grow, watering schedule
Slightly increase the quantity of your nutrients. Don’t worry about getting there all at once. PPM gradually creeping up is fine.
Coco should be watered/fed daily.

Nutes daily, or every other feeding, thanks for the help

Pretty sure the FF cultivation Nation is a 70/30 coco to perlite. Lower your PH to 5.8-6.0, they could be struggling with nutrient uptake 
I feed daily in coco to approximately 20-30% run off
Im sorry im asking alot of questions, but Coco is also a new beast, Water Daily with nutes and or every other watering nutes? Thank you very much.

Ya man, don’t hesitate to ask anything! Coco, you’re looking for a pH of 5.8 to 6.0, and you gotta feed every time you pour water over them. No plain waterings. You also have to feed every (other) day. It’s ok to skip a day or two the first couple of weeks or so, and maybe miss a day later on. But you don’t want to miss too often. Coco is definitely a whole other ballgame, but I personally think the results are better. It’s also easier to fix problems without using a flushing agent like Sledgehammer.

One question, i have my ppms under control, feeding at 5.9ph, my runoff ph is 6.3, is this normal, or should i back down the nutes??

6.3 isn’t too far out of range, but lower would be better. If you don’t mind me asking, and sorry if it’s been answered, but can you gimme a walk thru on how you mix your nutes?
Edit… Going back up and looking, more frequent feedings, like daily, to 15% or more runoff, with proper pH and PPMs, should fix your girls right up. They look hungry. Not starving. But like they could use a little more food on their plates ya know? They don’t look bad.
This should get that runoff pH a little more in line as well. Fully soaking coco to runoff is important because it sort of acts as it’s own flush when doing so. It’s considered a hydroponic medium, but real hydroponic systems hit the roots continuously, but coco soaks what it can before it dries. Letting it overdry or underwatering (feeding) leaves residue which can cause pH to drift up.

Word. I did 2 grows with FF nutes, but it was in FF Ocean Forest soil. I know calmag was needed. Just make sure to keep feeding feeding feeding lol. You’re on the right track

So i fed today, at 5.8ph and 1005 ppm, the runoff was between on eplabt was 675, and other was 759, should i ease back on nutes or flush a little, seems like ppms are slowly creeping up, is thos norml
