Coco vs soil. Why so small??

[Shaggy78]

My Autos are about 7 days old. My ones in soil are three times the size of my ones in Coco. What's happening?
Happy Frog perlite 70/30 mix and Coco perlite 70/30 mix. Seeds are from seedsman lights are spider farmer sf-4000 I just don't understand what's happening

 

[go go kid]

coco has to be washed and then fed afterwards onward to grow, where soil has nutes instantly available for plant growth

 

[Herb & Suds]

You need to be feeding coco twice a day

 

[Shaggy78]

Even when they're little like this?

Coco is like hydro in growth and vigor
So yes

Careful with those small plants in big coco pots,easy to over water.Solo cups are much easier for coco.

yes, but remember less is more and water plane water in between feeds to stop toxic nute build up in the coco

A syringe of say 100 ml or so will help to accurately measure how much feed you give them.How much I dont know but dont let it get dry and only water a 4" circle around the stem.

thats the way to water and feed untill you get a feel for it

Never water coco with just plain water always have nutes in it

Far better off mixing a very light ppm and stick with that,never plain water.

why would you not use plane water on its own?? sory but ive never used coco b4

 

[myke]

And youll only need to feed every couple days for the next week.

Plenty of info around here about how to grow in coco.

 

[go go kid]

i cant see why there would be any problem with useing plane water on the coco, you would have to use it if you had over fed your coco anyway, bad info not useing plane water. stop giving out info you dont know what your talking about

 

[myke]

Then as the plants get bigger start watering a bigger circle,remember the calmag on every feed/watering.

 

[Midwestsmoker419]

Coco has no nutrient value unlike soil. Maybe before trying to tell someone something you have no idea about you do some research.

From the guy whos never grown in coco.Sorry did i say that out loud?.

 

[go go kid]

im well aware that it has no nutrients in it, otherwise i wouldent know that it has to be washed before you use it. how would you go about rectafying over nuted coco without oplane water then
