You'll probably want to get one of the meters that can continuously test, you want to mix your nutrient solution up with your water and end up with a PH between 6.0-6.5 in soil. Between 5.5-6.0 is a little more in range for hydroponics / coco growing. So if it's at that high end around 6 you...

yo i'm seeing this way late, but for anyone finding this later I want to add one voice of recommendation to not do it, with Bronchitis or any other throat/lung infection for that matter. I've done it in the past thinking as most might that it may help pass the time more comfortably. Opposite...

I think I've managed to keep them wet always, but over fertilizing seems like it just might be the case. I read everywhere "never go only water" when it comes to watering plants in coco so my plan is to flush these girls out with a really low concentration, maybe like 0.2 EC above tap water to...

That makes sense, thanks. This is the first grow i've done both with half-proper measuring tools for the nutrients and ph w/ daily coco fertigating so I've been charting some new waters with the doses. I'll probably opt for a lighter feeding routine next round to see how that pans out in comparison.

Hey, hoping to get some insight. My grow is coming up on Week 9 of flower (~Week 11 from 12/12 flip), two of them have been developing some leaf symptoms over the last week+ that I'd welcome some opinions on. These are the first leaf-based symptoms these plants have given me at all throughout...

I think sometimes it's worth moving the ph around to make sure the plants are getting everything they need over time. I'll loosely follow charts like the following as a guide, hovering between ~5.7 - 6.2 every few days seems to make sense as a general approach, not sure how others deal with this.

I grew in coco for admittedly too long before I really 'understood' that you are basically growing hydroponically like MickF is kindly suggesting. Totally drenched coco still provides a huge amount of oxygen to the roots so you don't have to worry about overwatering, it's more like every time...

yeah gnats can be an effing pain

just to follow up on this - get close to your soil and start gently blowing on it. Then look really carefully for movement, you're looking out for really tiny critters moving about the soil. Gnats.. etc... If you have larvae or anything hanging out in your soil, a recommendation might be to let...

probably between 5-7 realistically with a couple of hours padding of daylight but not direct light. A lot of overcast / snowy days too. Up close, only the one pictured there at the bottom grown normally w/o topping has bud that looks half decent, the other stuff is showing the same thin, flaky...

I did a little experiment windowsill grow with some leftover Trainwreck Auto seeds I had. Wasn't too fond of these genetics overall when growing a few specimens previously in a tent (all plants produced thin flaky bud while others in same conditions did not), so i decided to throw these into...

Do y'all find you go through a TON of nutrients fertigating every day? Keeping my feed at 2.0+ ec for every watering during flower is having me go through my nutrients like never before. Is this normal? For 3 plants in 5 Gal fabric pot, I'm going through 2-4 gallons of water a day if I fertigate...

I put one in a 2x4 supplemented with a small 6-Light COB Cree on the side for total coverage as my canopoy is currently filling the space side to side. I also bought a second for my 2x3 vegging tent. This will be my first grow using this light so I'll have an answer for you about yield in about...

those girls look almost ready to cut down to me, not an expert but maybe that decoloration is just your girls finishing up. Don't take my word for it but do look closely at those trichomes if you can for their cloudiness / amber levels. Have you been flushing?

i feel that. great tap water where I'm at but currently growing in pure coco.

gotcha, yeah I'm fairly new to using calmag in my mixes so I guess I've been putting in lots. I'd be interested in trying to cut back for the sake of saving on the nutes if I don't need so much.

I've been following the guideline on the bottle of 2ml / liter which nets about 8ml per Gal (3.8L to 1 Gal), so probably about twice as much as you. My plants have not been showing any signs of deficiencies. I've also started using the Big Bud Coco in flower which also has calmag supplement in...

My girls are starting their 5th week after switch to 12/12... GG#4 in the middle with the two towers :)

Plants look good man. I am growing some GG#4 for the first time right now as well - it was one of my favourite strains I've ever tried when I had the chance a little while back so I'm stoked.

Any love for Advanced Nutrients in here? I just started using some of their products for the first time during current grow. Plants seem happy but I'll wait to see what I'm harvesting at the end to make any judgements. Got them in time to run Big Bud Coco from flower week 4 on, Overdrive for the...
