FloraFlex Noob Questions

[RemoChemo]

I have been growing in 2 Gal Ebb-n-Gro buckets for 2 years now.

I am going to be switching to FloraFlex POTPRO.I currently have a 6 site and am about to begin a grow with it

I would like it if current users of this system would share their knowledge.

What is your watering schedule by week,
Do you FEED daily?

If you are FEEDING with each watering, at what strength (CF, EC, PPM500, PPM700)?

How much water in mL/day for each week (ie: 500 mL for each pot, every other day; week 1)?

Which Bubbler Flow Insert do you use (color coded part that goes inside the manifold)?

I don't use that type of system but I did read up on Char Coir. Even though they say you don't have to buffer their product I would take that with a grain of sodium.
Anytime coir is used I would still buffer it with Cal/Mag and pH'ed, low nutrient solution and lot's of it. I run Canna Coco and it is well buffered and clean but I still when potting do a long heavy flush with the above mention solution. I run Smart Pots and prior to planting the pots are filled with coco lightly compacted then flushed with multiple gallons of the solution two to three times. Will sure save you problems in the future.
This is JMHO after using coir for years, I love it, to me it is one of the best grow mediums.
Good luck on your grow and hope you find your answers, and if you don't you will still figure it out and grow some stellar cannabis.

I am happy to read what you posted.
It’s funny, I went ahead last night and soaked the coir in plain water.
Then I ran 10 gallons of full strength Cal/Mag with 1/4 nutes of Jacks Hydro 15-0-0 & 5-12-26 (600ppm was the end result) and Great White beneficials at 6.0 PH.

Put some seedlings in it.
I guess we will see how it goes.

I loved your encouraging words! Thank you so much! A pep talk was exactly what I needed.

Your running straight coco, shoot for a 5.8 pH.
