Does it come with buffers for calibration like ph 7 and 4? Ur also gonna meed some storage solutionJust picked up this. Cheap as fuck but it will do while I save for a better one.
It does indeed bro.Does it come with buffers for calibration like ph 7 and 4? Ur also gonna meed some storage solution
Ive found amazing bulk deals on ph solution sachets on eBay...but I do buy in bulk especially after cropIt does indeed bro.
Have to buy storage solution separate though.
I calibrated when i first bought it and once before i started my recent grow so not that many times. Second time it wasnt even off that much
Any advice on using coco coir?I calibrated when i first bought it and once before i started my recent grow so not that many times. Second time it wasnt even off that much
Use a ph of 5.8 when using coco. You can use most soil nutrients but i like to stick with a coco coir nutrient because they come as one a+b rather than grow and bloom a+b. Im using canna coco a+b but only because i couldnt get vitalink coir a+b in 5litres. Just make sure to add some calmag because coco tends to leach onto calcium. Coco is very forgiving so its very hard to over water in it. Mix it with some perlite for best drainage.Any advice on using coco coir?
Been reading up on it and seems a lot easier than soil.
What nute range do you use with it ?

Must be a ball ache watering all the time or havebyou a drip feed? The constant watering in coco I find annoying but yeild n taste is insane so I was wondering having two to 3 small tanks feeding slightly different solutions so if needed I can switch the drips to match what the leaves are asking or does that just sould like a ball acheUse a ph of 5.8 when using coco.

Get on the yellow pH pens off eBay it's a must phnis so important!!
You should follow the feed schedule when in flower your ladies need more food
Silca is used as a pH up because it's a building block of the plant cell wall. Handy it raises the pH to.
Get a ppm pen when u have a few quid spare not super important but handy so u can manually up feeding when u know when to after u learn more about the plant and the environment
Can't stress it enough pH and follow the feeding lay out once in flower veg is one thing u can recover from easily but fuck it up in flower and your playing caught up all the time
Miracle grow is whooper as a feed just pH it and boom u can't fail basically
You don't have a lock your organic your just under feeding don't stress give them what the instructions say feed take a breath and in a week u will see them look great again.
I have never in my 10+ years of growing got a lock out in organic feeds
I turned away from organic because it's to slow I couldn't tasted the difference and mineral nutes are easier to fix issues in the plant with
Missus woke me up at half fucking 3 this morning cuz I was snoring..couldn't get back to sleep ffs
Glad to help man. Yeah just dont mix them together 1st then put into water just put a straight into the water then put the b. I was always using canna coco coir but recently just bought my coco retail so i got 200 litres of coco coir bricks for 20 quid on amazon .no major brand but just flush it first before using it.Great info man.
Do you mix A and B into the same litre when feeding ?
I always mix a lot of perlite with my soil so no stress there.
Have you any recommendations regarding the coco coir bricks ? Brand or make.
How many would you need for 10 x 12litre pots ?
I mix my nutes in a big 120litre res and just use a 5litre drum to water each plant. I have always said i would introduce a drip feed just never got round to it so its not that much of a ball ache just get a small pump and your res and some tubing. Id suggest to make your own drip rings from some tubing and a t pipe because youd need to use two tubes and two normal drip feeders because they dont water the pot fully with only one of them if you get meMust be a ball ache watering all the time or havebyou a drip feed?
