JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZUS $1639.98 FOR THAT BOOK!? IT BETTER COME WITH A PORNSTAR GIVING ME THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!
I get that part, I'm trying to figure out how long to run my pump to get 10%+ run-off.
Does GPH/60=GPM? Or is that not an accurate way to judge how much you're watering per minute?
If that's house and garden root excel I think it's got peroxide in which will kill or ur microbesStarting the third...
canna a/b
cannazyme
1/2 strength ryzo
1/2 strength roots excel
aptus start boost
aptus fisiltor
orca
carboload
drip clean
What carbs du use for ur benniesStandardization means agreement.....don't hold your breath. 5.8 is the recommended and it has worked well in coco. In Coco, you are potentially flushing with each watering. 10-20% runoff helps to curtail salt buildup assuming you water often. I will say this, there are some ideas for a good coco grow. 1. never let the medium dry 2.less is more 3. Coco holds calcium/mag so supplementation is necessary. 4. Flush @ 1/4 strength-never pure h20. 5. Root Vigor will dictate plants appetite, metabolism, and potential for buildup... I go about it drawing a reservoir at 800-900 at the beginning of flowering with A/B, bennies, carbs for bennies, cal-mag, hygrozyme, pro-tekt, liquid seaweed etc. Day 1, feed and go. Day 2, dilute by 150 ppm. Day 3, dilute 150 ppm more Day 4, dilute to 500 ppm. Day 5 repeat. In the 3rd week, I use cal-mag more aggressively and my recipe changes, I increase PPMs by 100-200 but keep the dilution aspect in use. Also, I discontinue beneficials. Essentially, the plant dictates a good amount....I am rambling.
Carbo load and bud candy at 1/2 strength eachWhat carbs du use for ur bennies
Tried a cheaper version like molasses?Carbo load and bud candy at 1/2 strength each
Use to use grandma's unsulphur'd molasses on coco. great results. but i switched to bud candy because it was less messy, doesnt gunk up my pumps and such.I saw molasses in a grocery store and it was not cheap at all. Carbo load is more than sugar. It has amino acids and I think molasses would attract flying pests. I have not tried it but it has a good amount of magnesium in it.
Use lucas formula. FloraMicro and FloraBloom . 1:2 Ratio. 1part (micro):2part (bloom)Has anyone here used the GHE 3-part fertilizer on coco? What dosages do you follow?
switched over to coco from dwc im using cana A+B,rhizo, an cal mag was wondering havnt seen anything bout SM-90 used it always in dwc just as precaution what do you experienced coco users think????iHello, I started this thread because I wanted to streamline the process for newbies to Coco by starting with some facts that will help. So, Coco in the bag is typically 6.1ph and depending on the quality and brand has been pre-rinsed, buffered and ready to go. Breaking the buffer is the first thing on your list assuming the coco hasn't been conditioned. Our objective is to rinse the coco with large amounts of water containing Cal-mag @120ppm and 200ppm of Veg solution at a ph of 5.8. This breaks the medium of its tendency to drift towards 6.1PH. So, once 5.8 is reached the runoff will indicate so. Breaking this buffer is an extremely important concept to coco growers to understand in order optimize the process at the very beginning. Periodically, this same technique is used to flush the excess fertilizer(salts) that build up and refresh the buffer to 5.8. PH but more on that later. Next, Coco has the tendency to hold on to Calcium and Magnesium making supplementing more necessary and is one of the few issues with this medium. I usually mix 30% Perlite into my coco to aerate as well as help offset these types of issues. When watering coco, a runoff of 20% is recommended so buildup does not occur...do not top off as a habit. The frequency of watering coco varies upon container size, environmental factors, plant size, and preference. In the early grow, when roots are still small 2x week is standard but periods between feedings can run up to 5-6 days. Late in blooming, when the roots are working to keep large plants up, everyday feedings are not uncommon and over-watering is no longer an issue. Never let the coco dry through!! Use an inoculant, Liquid Kelp as well as Mycorhizzae strengthen your plant in it's infancy against disease and promote root growth making for bigger, faster growing, and more vibrant vegetative plants. The coco has a natural insulation that keeps it from temperature being a real issue. Pest control is a wise investment as a preventative measure. Neem oil, and/or Systemic pesticides are commonly used against pests that thrive in the cocosphere. Keep it CLEAN!! no dead leaves, no gnats, no tolerance!!! In short, Decay brings insects, insects bring diseases and damage plant vigor. Your nutrient selection is a personal decision, I know it is difficult to chose, but with so many to choose from I cannot say what the one to use is publicly. Feel free to message me though. I will continue to add important information, as need becomes evident and feel free to ask questions as well. As for the Coco-pros, please add anything that you find important, fresh, or interesting.
You don't flush?Your run-off is going to change as the plants get bigger...chasing run-off is a waste of mental energy. In other words, it's not that big of a deal it doesnt have to be an exact formula.
Also, flushing and Coco is dumb. Rapidly changing EC levels are stressful to plants.
I use tap water, protekt, dynagro for veg, maxibloom forflower, a little moab at the end and thats it. Never had a Ca deficiency. No need for a nutrient list as long as my arm.
