Been there. I'm not hijacking the thread. But I broke my bubba's gift, actually my kosher tangie and white Russian. It happens. With the cal mag def early and with the training she snapped but recovered slowly but surely. And just to say the solis tek did go out on me but by the time I shipped it off, I got it back 5 days later. It was a bummer it went out but they got me back up and going again. And my co2 it rocking and rolling.

Ladies are looking great this morning. All perked up. It seems they do best when I give them low feedings ( less than 350) PPM but more frequently, every other day

Maybe instead of bumping up the ppm when she needs nutes just feed her everyday instead of every other just see how she reacts. I just think you can but shouldn't treat coco like soil. Its not what it was designed to do. Just my 2 cents.

I grew in coco for a while, feed with every watering. Your ph should be more hydro with coco since it is semi hydro. Ph 5.5-5.7 during flower try 5.9.

I started with soil, moved to coc, now doing ebb and flow hydro. Watering was a pita all time time for me. They drank more in coco as well.​

Pics are from this morning

Yeah, soon you'll get to the point you stop checking run off. Will become second nature to you once all tuned in. But balance ph after you put nutes in to 5.5-5.7 then water.

In theory what you put in coco you should get out since coc has ph of 0. But always check waters ph before you water the plant.

Yea I always check pH after my nutes, my RO water always comes back at 7.1 Ph.

Thanks for the advise man. So how much would be a good rule of thumb to water a day? I'm in a 3 gallon smart pot. Should I water till run off? Or for example just put like half gallon once a day?

Are you saying your feed is pH at 7.1? Gotta bring it down!

Ok but are you feeding them with the ph that high? You gotta lower the ph of the water to 5.5 after you add your nutes to water, then you water them with that.

no I meant the RO system I have. The water comes out at 7.1..

THEN I added my nutes and PH the water to about 6.0 usually.

NOW on I will bring to 5.5 next feed lol


My bad guys been stoned all morning

Dude do not bring it down that low. Stick with 6.0 is just fine. I do 6.2 but I'm using hydroton and the glass shreds for nats so it brings my run off down to 5.7. Stick with what you have.
