thanks man that means alot i tried phing years ago bjt jumped the gun like i didnt no about calibration and like i could never figure out how many drops of up or down to add then discovered true living organics and stuff iv got some advenced nutrients ph perfect still i was curios about coco like i think i heard its hard to over water witch is somthing i still do but was thinking of getting a dwc bucket so then i can use the an ph perfect as mutch as i wanna go organic i way as well use the an i paed for it after all so with coco do i just mix in some coco and perlight and then use straight water for like a week im not sure wat the ec of my tap water is but i know it comes outta the tap at 6.8 plus im thinking now to tho i dont need to have the whole tent a certin temp i think of it like the rootzone like if an inch or a few mill around the leaves and stem surfice is the right temp and what not i cant hink of the word i think its rizome that eria that talk about when thay talk about microbes around the root zone bit like aound the plant i dont know just going over possabilitys if u where going 2 have high temps do u rekon coco would be better pluss i can have a soil mix cooking and still have a grow i might do one in coco and one in some canna just to see the side buy side im a bit apprahensive tho some one i used 2 buy of started growing it was in coco using canna prick wouldent deliver it till it was dark new him for few years so i trusted him i dont know how i could be so fucken stupid id take it home chop up in the back shed pretty mutch in the dark have a cone or two the next day id go ou there and there was like all this mouldy weed loke 300 dollers for a half witch at the time i figured it would be fucken a grade witch id never smoked before but before that happend i tried lemon kush i think and thc bomb it was shit there was no frost at all and no taste my goal as a grower is to have a good balence of taste and all the other stuff i hate using spin but fuck coffing up a lung n shit after that mouldy weed never even said nuffen fuck him wasent worth it but ye ive always been a bit sceptical of coco since but shit if ure giving the plant what it needs and give a proper flush dry and cure than im posative it will be good weed

You can't blame coco for the dude letting his weed go mouldy and you handing over cash before you check the product lol.
Coco can be as simple or complicated as you make it. Don't get ahead of yourself just think basic.Follow the feed chart I usually go just a bit lower by .2 ec check ph is where it should be and your going to be pretty good.

Don't worry about it yet.

I've done grows in rooms that felt like a sauna shit was that bad I mean bad !!! And at times I thought I might die just being in there for 10 minutes but I managed to get them through and it wasn't anything special but I've seen guys with a.c and all the bells and whistles grow worse pot

I used this schedule for a while before I went to house and garden and it's a solid feed schedule it's basically a modified Lucas formula. The slam days I wouldn't do if I was starting out or had a strain that can't handle it's food. This is Called the Rezipe and was what the infamous Rezdogs feed schedule

 

[giglewigle]

well if got some of this that i piced up for bedding for my vermihut iv got some pipets some ph up down electrode cleaner and d a buffer soluton my ph pen is a hm 80 ill need to get a ec ppm meter but thats cool iv been wanting to get one for ages waiting my beans to get here should be here in about 2 weeks fast buds west coast og even tho i ran into a p def and pulled early it was fun and i did good it wasent stunted or any thing grew how it should from wat i saw of one other dudes grow od say it was on par with aphoto strain he really filled up that tent but he defanetly had experience and a good light started growing pisstles or stigmas or whatever there called on day 30 the breeder said thats when thay sould start flowering so im exited to give em anouther run ill do one in coco and one in the canna terra might skip the castings and go with some em1 maybe a tiny bit of fungi when there small but i think ill be using the bio canna with the soil grow an

cheers ill pick some of that up when i get the ec ppm meter can i use it with tap water my tap water is 6.8 i allways have a bucket of it bubling at least 24 hours before i use it

Never tried that one but it should be fine it pre charged so you really shouldn't have a need for cal-mag. Not saying that schedule is the best or that you should even use it it's just an example of how simple it can be to grow good weed. Rez dog although a complete asshole could grow!! He won a couple of I.C Mag cups with that formula it's not to everyone's liking and could be tweaked a little but it's a solid feed schedule

If you are going coco the most important thing nutrient wise although it's not a nutrient is House and Garden Drip Clean I'd never do coco without it

i was under the imprestion coco was hand watered witch is what i was planning on doing i found these from the compeny that makes the coco fucken cheap like 57 for like five liters one part there was also a one for grow stage for the price i might go with that seems simple and easy i might do a bit of digging and see if theres any reviews on it

 

[Nugachino]

How do you like the bokashi bin ? Do you Bokashi then put that into the worm bin ?

Depends if what's in the bin has fermented long enough before the next load is ready to go in. Otherwise it goes in either the big compost pile. Or the worm bin.

You can hand water,flood and drain,constant drip,blumats,multiple feeds a day,daily feeds almost anything with it. Try it there isn't a huge difference in base nutrients that I've found some I like more than others but most are pretty similar.

I was doing the bokashi then worm bin thing but I ended up putting all my worms into my soil pile lol so I gotto start up again. With your bokashi do you use the spray ? And do you put meat in it ? They reckon you can but I never tried

 

[Nugachino]

They're all compost of sorts gigle. I started with just the bokashi bin. But it doesn't decompose fast enough for that. So I set myself up with 500 red wrigglers and a big 100L bin. But that's full too. Now it gets divided between the worm bin. And a slap together compost pile I'd made from spare pallets and bed slats.

It is cheap but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Nice set up you could really dial in a super nice mix out of that

I try not to put meat into it. Attracts the local ferals too much. Cats too
And it stinks a whole lot more with rotting meat.

I usually put a scoop of my worms in with my potted plants. Gives them some natural aerators. And livens up the soil culture by them being there.

This is clackamans coots recipe

"This is the compost that I started with

1 c.y. organic barley straw 12 lbs. basalt rock dust 2 c.f. roughly chopped Comfrey as the Nitrogen source 5 c.f. pumice (1/4" size)

When the material ramped back down to 100F or so I added the following:

3 lbs. kelp meal 3 lbs. a neem / karanja meal mix that I had made because I was bored - obviously 1 lb. organic alfalfa meal 1 c.f. roughly chopped Comfrey leaves 1 c.f. roughly chopped mint mix - Peppermint, Spearmint, Thyme, Cilantro, Holy Basil (Tulsi) and chopped Rosemary 3 lbs. organic fish meal 3 lbs. crustacean meal

I loaded this into #150 SmartPot and dumped about 3 gallons of worms that I harvested from other set-ups also using SmartPots. Basically 3 gallons is somewhere around 10 - 11 lbs. of worms. I covered this with barley straw to reduce evaporation in the bedding material.

A year later I harvested over 28 lbs. of worms, thousands and thousands of cocoons (using a 1/8" screen which will capture the cocoons) and this specific batch of vermicompost is what I'm currently using.

It's all about patience - it takes time to create premium humus.

Dat's it!

CC"

Then just mix it up as such:

1/3 Humus 1/3 SPM or Leaf Mold 1/3 Aeration (Rice hulls/Pumice/Lava Rock)

A bit of time and effort is required at the front end for sure. After that's done, just add water.
