hi every one on this thread and thanks for answerin so many of my q already as this is my 1st attempt
right lets get started my grow space is 70x110cm so pretty narrow
i have a 600w hps light
4" tt duct fan an carbon filter
fan temp controler
temp & humi gage
desk fan
4 x 11l pots and saucers
canna a&b, rhiz, cannaz, pk13/14, boost
cal max
ph down
ph tester kit
50l bag of canna coco pro and i have some clay pepples i plan to put about 2" in the bottom of my pots and then the rest pure coco pro, im goin to hand water using the run to waste method.
Heres a thew q's
how many plants would you do in my space?
Do i need to use nutes the first time i water with pro ive read you dont as its buffed ( i dont like the idea of not feedin we nutes for 1-2 wk as thats my full veg cycle) or am i alright we a weak nutes solution like 2-3ml/4l a&b and 5-10ml/4l of rhiz or am i ok we just ph'd water with pro?
does any one else use pro who could help?
heres some info on canna coco pro as i ant seen much in this thread canna say;
"canna coco professional plus is a pure, organic product with a homogeneous structure and has had a full buffering, eliminating the side effects of growing on coir"
"cannas buffering process allows us to pre-program the medium to a certain age. This ensures you get the same consistent, high quality material time after time. Ready for optimal use straight away."
"watering
manually:
- give water every day using special coco fertiliser.
Pot size: 4 litres minimum.
- make sure the pots used are sufficiently large if its not possible to give water every day.
Automatically:
- feed 4-6 times a day using special coco fertiliser.
use:
approximately 5 litres of nutrient solution per m2 per day (for mature plants). For larger plants use pots of at least 5 litres; the larger the pot the more constant the root environment will be. Ensure that there is sufficient drainage (holes) and possibly use a layer of clay pebbles (canna clay pebbles) in the bottom of the pot to provide air and drainage.
If you use canna coco professional plus in combination with the fertilisers from cannas coco range designed for this purpose, then you are investing in quality and certainty!"
i really dont wana have a bad start with this
also do you think i should use cal max (its pretty much same as cal-mag) alway through my grow at a weak dose im usin tap water i dont no ec as have no tester i jus now its ph 7.5 maybe like 2ml/4l? Or should i jus use if i get cal def?
Whats the ideal temp to grow in coco? (day & night, veg & flow)
my cutting supplier says they are 3" tall in large rockwool and rooted, will i be alright to put them stright in the 11l pots or will i need smaller and pot up?
Im still constructin my grow room and its air tight if i have a inlet duct from outside will my tt fan/filter suck enough air through the inlet for my plants?
So sorry to go on abit but i dont wana mess up this is my first solo grow
please get back to me with any tips or help cheers
