Coco vs soil. Why so small??

[Midwestsmoker419]

I dont think I have overfed my plant in coco since I use small dosages of nutes each watering. To answer your ? Since you cant do a simple search would be to use lower nutes and water/flush

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

They just mean, ordinarily you feed coco with each watering-it's called fertigation. Of course if something goes wrong and you need to flush it, you can use plain water, but that isn't usually necessary if you feed to 10-20% runoff.

i was just useing that as an example. not acuseing you of ever over feeding anything. just saying that you would need to use plane water on/in coco to rectify a over nuted medium

I dont mind sharing info you are correct it is what we are here for but your demeanor on subject you have no idea on is uncalled for and results in the answers you received

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

I didn't wash my Coco it shocked my plants and they were stunted right from the start, Coco needs rinsing a few times l, I had massive salt build up, had to flush which isn't good with auto vegging I think, anyways not rinsing the Coco I ruined my plant. Glad your getting advise good luck.

well im very sorry, i ment no disrespect or anything by it. but im right that you can use plane water with it, so im not sorry for stating that

Look up CEC of coco. You'll understand why we don't use plain water.
Please don't give advice on a subject you know nothing about.

To start in coco before you plant mix up a light ppm say 150-200 ish and twice the calmag so 200 ppm =400 total. soak your pot with runoff let it sit then plant.Youll be good for 4-5 days.

@Shaggy78 go to the DTW section in hydro,we have a lot of very good coco growers here.Lots of great info.

 

[Shaggy78]

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

how often do you feed? Once a week

 

[go go kid]

i was told you cant use plane water on co co. which is incorrect as a statement. you can use plane water on it and i would say to any new user of it, that you should use plane water inbetween feedings to make sure it doesnt get over nuted.
please re read the info i was given and tell me im wrong.
im not trying to give false info, just smart info for any new user of coco.
you can use plane water with it. the statement "you cant use plane water with it is false

no, i would give it weak nutes for the whole grow, but i would use plane water inbetween feedings to make sure i didnt over nute it to toxic levels

You've never grown in coco.........so shut the fuck up.

 

[Shaggy78]

So alternate? Plain water and low feed?

 

[go go kid]

yes, but ive been told i dont know what im talking about in not so many words. i would say yes, alternate, but lets here from someone who has germinated seeds in it to be sure

DO NOT listen to anything this person says about coco.

you what, grow up . im not taking incorect info about a nutral medium

I didn't wash my Coco at all. And these are autoflowers so I'm not really trying to flush them. Are they just going to be small? Or is there something else I can do

 

[go go kid]

no, lets just let new growers with no idea over nute there growing medium without listening to sound advise
