Yeah bro I wanted to check your skyjacker out but I see nothing at the bottom of the post to :lick on.......you think I should just give then a lower dose of calmag every other watering? Keeping in mind I'll be watering once a day. Check out that California Substrates Coco online and read abut it and tell me what you think if you had time. They recomend not using perlite or any substrates in their coco. I don't know I was always curious about coco and it was 25 a 50 liter bag 13.2 gallons my chick at the grow shop gave it to me for 20 which means she made 15.....lol but it's double washed all the dust has been removed it has a very low EC.....I have a couple Auto Kush germinating so I'm gunna run Lucas Formula quater strength then take it to half and I was gunna water a quart to two everyday.....this shit clams to have a 32-33% air fill porosity.....I don't know something new as shit to me....I'm an old school dirt farmer......and still tying to figure out a good nute schedule for autos...this is only my 3rd run with them so I'd figure I'd try the Lucas Formula worked up to half strength and see what the fuck happens

Calmag can be very bad for plants if you use to much... stick with something thats a bit of both thats what i do.

No, but I've used a lot of brands from no-name bricks to canna. If your using RO than cal mag is an issue, regardless of how fortified the coco says it is, if your using tap than it doesn't matter. I would still have some cal/mag on hand if your doing RO, because whatever is fortified in the coco is going to be gone in 2-3 feedings.

depends on the region because tap water quality differs by region.the rest i agree

Hey Johnny maybe it's not coming through but when I Finnish s post in the bottom right below the dotted line in small print it should say http://rollitup.org/t/r-p-skywalker-round-2.821503 hopefully you can find a way to navigate to that thread I'm not trying to be some " know it all " I got a look at your coco in your post looks good to me I would run it I'm hoping you can look at that grow & maybe find something you can use possibly improve on it I had to shut my room a grow later as I put my home up for sale & relocated getting ready to build a new room in my new location but that was my last coco grow & that's what I'll be going back to meanwhile I hope you can get off to a good start try clicking onto the link. I wrote in above

If you use tap water from your sink you will need no calmag correct? And you always wana put your nute #o%mulatto in at 5.7-6.0 PH correct

I always ph, even when there is no nutrients. Some say its not necessary, but I figure it takes care of residuals since I water just enough, I barely could be considered drain to waste since I hardly waste anything, lol.

You should check if your concerned, I never have....I have gone north and south of my area by a good many hundreds of miles, cal mag from tap has never been an issue but as always (ymmv depending on area, if you see deficiencies proceed with adding cal/mag supplements...its never been a problem for me, but I don't represent everyone either so take that for what its worth).

I feel you....thanks for the info I've just never used coco or did hydro I've always just been a dirt farmer ya know....hey after seeds pop up from coco....when should I start to feed? And I seen a dude watering and feeding everyday with a quart of water.....does this sound normal to you? What size pot do you use and what is your water/feed schedule?

Hey Johnny I've found coco to be easier than dirt I would get a gh drain to waste feeding schedule and start them out on the seedling dose

I'm running autos right now till I'm out of seeds so should I still start the seedling feeding? And if so should I go less than the recommended then work my way up? And should I wait till I get my first set of true leaves? And should I water everyday?
