My plant is tiny

[billy2]

Thank you for a very quick solution to the problem, I like this site already.

I never grew plants as you probably noticed.

My poor baby is starving!

There is your problem Coco contains no nutrients for your plant. You have to provide it, from the beginning, everything it needs...

I didn't start feeding mine in CoCo until 10 days. I might have just got away with it but wish I had started feeding 5 days earlier as I think it stunted them a bit.

I just kept reading don't feed for 14 days as they have everything they need problem is my tap water is very, very soft with almost nothing in.

Best of luck mate she may start to sprout when you feed. I saw a difference in 24 hours.

What I have been seeing now is first it had 2 leafs, then 4 etc. Now 10 than 12 the next day, but no height development at all.

I already messed up 3/6 seeds in germination. Everything is new to me, I research before I do something but I don`t have a feeling for this yet, and I missed the cocos nutrient thing.

This is the trouble. Most coco guides are aimed at clones, so us seed growers have to figure the first couple of weeks ourselves

The only thing that seeds have is their own internal reserves which will exhaust in about a week - I try, now, to preempt that point with a week feed....

But, going back to the OP, do you not have an EC meter (please say you have a PH meter?)

[billy2]

I have a digital PH meter and I PH the water down to 6. I calibrated it with a baggy that came with it. I also have a TDS meter. I don`t have an EC meter. Everytime there is another cost.

You really need an EC meter, it'll help you far more than feeding at a percentage of the recommended feed - and will also allow you to read the run off EC so you can see what the plant is feeding. Around here, EC is king. PPS & TDs are foreign languages

You might be able to enter worst plant of the month tho : )
Join in with the community an have a laugh.

Seriously tho,lots of things to learn when using coco.
Ec and ph are paramount as is water amount once established
Good luck mate

She'll be ok bro. Just feed her.

I would add your feed @ 1ml/l and set the PH to 5.8.

An Ec meter will really help you out as M_C said

Best of luck

Peace

Maybe I should call my plant Danielle Devito.
