What’s up lady’s and gents hope all is well been a long time since I wrote something on this

just want to c what u rollers think of my new grow method or if anything I’m missing out please help

well I stopped using pro-mix worm castings kelp meal and Gaia green 4-4-4 and used advanced organic line 500dollars every few months and gets pricey as fuck for all them bottles -so I got sick of it paying that much tell u the truth it’s always a messy spilling it more nutes on the floor then the measuring cup

so I decided to go with emerald harvest 3part
With pro-mix well mixed with Gaia green 4-4-4 and had some crazy results better the advanced hands down and I only paid 220 for the grow kit and no spill on the floor and I get more in my cup witch mean more for my baby’s so anyways I decided to change everything

I grabbed a bag of coco loco first time coco grower I’ve been growing for ten years but new to growing in coco anywa that coco loco comes with food worm castings kelp meal oyster shell lime and bat guano I know it will only last three weeks and I gotta start feeding it but I also made my own mix and please tell if I miss anything else

Coco -fox farm coco loco
Gaia green 4-4-4
Worm castings
Kelp meal
Glacial rock dust
Alfalfa meal
Rock phosphate
Insect frass if I’m missing anything please let me know thanks

the food I’m feeding or will be feeding it is emerald harvest 3part at half strength I called them and they said to start with half strength cause there already food on the coco and it’s inorganic plant fertilizers doesn’t have things from animals to be called 100% organic

i use emerald harvest with promix
why are you mixing all the shit in the coco plus liquid feeding. youre asking for lockout.
i use eharvest full strength and once every 2 weeks they get just water and silica for 1 watering.

So you're using 4-4-4 dry fertilizer along with a 3 part liquid...I would pick one or the other. Good luck!!

Later on in flower
4-4-4 doesn’t last forever instead of top dressing it every two weeks it’s were emerald harvest come in it’s not my first time it’s my first time in coco and another thing is I just add one tablespoon each gallon instead of three I use Gaia to give it a kick start from transplanting helps with the shock Gaia green recommended 3 tablespoons a gallon I just added 1 a gallon I don’t go crazy with the dry stuff just enough for veg

Here r some shots I took and the only pictures I have first one is the double blue I made and the three middle ones r the wedding cake the last is the bubble gum from serious seeds I used emerald harvest half strength with Gaia green 4-4-4 full dose at 3tablespoon a gallon as it says on the label added some perlite worm castings and kelp meal and feed every other watering and give cal-mag after every second watering cause it says to use alone and the results were a lot better then using advanced organic line up so I thought if I tried coco and only use 1tbsp of Gaia green for each gallon so there only 3 tbsp that not even enough to feed to those plants for two weeks 3 weeks most and also before u feed your plants check the run off check the ppm that way u can tell how much food u still have on your soil and how much fertilizer u can feed your plants without any problems cause using Gaia green by it self could only do so much and only come out so potent I know cause I been using Gaia green for many years mj it’s a weed u can push it to it limit if the run off of your soil is 400ppm u can add another 600ppm to 800ppm for your next feeding correct me if I’m wrong

I hear u as I said I don’t feed my girls when I’m on veg cycle I only start feeding after the second week of flower and I didn’t add the hole 3tbsp each gallon I only used 1 tbsp each gallon just to give it a kick after transplanting then when I notice my plants getting hungry I feed them

Mixing coco and dry amendments is a recipe for disaster. Coco isn't soil, and more than likely won't end well. Good luck.

Yes your right coco ain’t the same as pro-mix so u only add so much of dry stuff it funny how Im already on the 3 week with this coco/amendments shit but yet my girls r just getting bigger and greener every day goes by and I ain’t feeding her shit yet just str8 water have u tried this your self or just going by with what u think or what people say only this trial and error will tell u just always remember to add cal-mag but I’ll post pictures as of right now I’m doing good I transplanted 3 weeks ago I’m putting them to flower next weekend

I agree with I’m not saying your wrong if I did add the full amount 3 tbsp and with no worm castings then yes I’ll be plucking off leaves by now plant be all yellow nasty looking by now they r green as fuck

huh? do you follow the feed schedule?
Click to expand...
The first feeding I just add 1/4 of the feeding schedule then I wait the few days c how the plants look And feel then water then feed with 1/2 strength till 8 week then I flush with clearex then just water for the last 7 days watering every second day and I give about 20% run off each time I water so all the old build up salts gets washed away
