Some of you guys watering with nutes every watering still? I just find that so hard to believe, I've got one plant (started out as 5...) that i water with CNS bloom, bloom booster (straight mg), and calc mag 3ml each per gallon every 3rd watering, so like 2x a week tops. Plants been doing great. Before that i was hitting all of my plants with 3mls a gallon once they showed preflowers every watering and I burned them to death. EXCEPT THE GUY THAT'S STILL ALIVE. So what's up? Strain? I dont know what else it could be.

Yeah I still water everytime with nutes not one sign of nute burn on my plants. I do water once with fresh nutes , skip a day, water with collected run off and my watering can, skip a day then water again with the rest of the fresh nutrients. I havent had any problems, all of my plants are from clones though so they are a little tougher than your straight from seeds plants. Again I use House and Garden and one of my additives is "drip clean" it basically helps break down the salts and what not.. Great product too.

Hey guys, using canna coco and full canna nute line and following the feeding schedule on canna's website. Up until now (week 5 flowering) I have not had an issue with the plant and it's been perfect. I have just finished the feeding stage with heavy nutes and PK13/14 and am using just A+B and cannazym. I have been feeding the whole way at 5.8ph, and my runoff was always about 6.1, 6.2 which seemed normal. However I can only feed the plant once a day due to my work schedule, and by the time I get home from work my 10 liter airpot has completely dried out. Now every time I feed with about 20/30% runoff it is showing me 5.2/5.3 PH runoff. And the EC is about double what I am putting in.The leaves are showing some spotting and burned tips even though I know it's not nute burn since they are getting lower nutes than when they had no burn. What can I do to try and solve this problem? Does it sound like this is just a problem with the coco drying out or is it something else? It just sucks since the grow so far has been flawless and this is the healthiest plant I have ever grow. Any help or input is appreciated guys, thanks.

Id say it drying complety out would change ur readings usually when i flush the ppms come in the 2000s lol but thats y i clean it out always 5.8ph and 1000ppm of feed grow and bloom 1/2 and 1/2. But i got hard well water with a 400ppm after the brita filter but hey check um out its still works. Less is better.after week 5 some times 6 i dont feed heavy they just need to ripen up my apollo is around 40 days. That bubba kush is has vegged for 6weeks lol sucks slow but well worth it. i dont run alot of them cuz doesnt grow tall enough With apollo 13 so just 1 at a time.
Just picked up a TGA agent orange cut it looks like its the orange velvet pheno short and more indicaish short node spacing.

hi just wanted to suggest to use autopots system, i seen people started using them with very good results and are using coco as they medium, all you have to do is refill the tank every 5 days or so, im defiantly going to start using them on my next run, the hardest thing for us coco growers is the watering!! and the auto pots solve it!!! im just doing loads of research on it at the moment

just got myself some autopots, using coco as medium with ferro coco growth and bloom. what would be better for me to get a ec meter or tds meter?

ec is the standard while ppm uses different conversion formulas. Some tds will measure both numbers. Whatever you are more comfortable working with.

well i have been reading up and understand tds measurements a bit better, so if i was to have an ec meter how would i understand the readings?

Started some seeds in coco and I mixed in a little Great White. They definitely sprouted and are growing quicker than when I did it without.
