Buddy dropped off 14 coco plants in like 7 gallons pots

So I’ve never done coco before, or any hydroponic/soiless grow. They are quite healthy and will be switched to flower in 2 two weeks, they’re about 3.5 feet tall and are solid plants.

He has this certain nutrient brand he uses that I can’t find online. I have...

4x8 tent
(2) crecer panthrx 2
8 in carbon filter/fan
8 in carbon filter/fan
The basics

1. Any tips?
2. he said we’d split it 50/50 what do you think?

Here’s two of them, excuse my messy grow room I was bombarded with stuff within two hours

I meant essentially I’m putting them in a 4x8 with (2) crecer LED, an AC and a carbon filter. He had a nutrient schedule for me, I was just curious if you have any other tips?
He says he doesn’t foliar spray at all, would it be beneficial to hit it once before flower in two weeks?

Coco basics:
Feed daily in veg to substantial run off using a pH around 6.0........feed at least twice a day in flower.
Never plain water.
Never let the coco dry.
Good luck.

I swear before we put them in the van he watered them all with puré water. Do you suggest any foliage? I have Ahimsa Neam oil and whatever

Looks like they are in need of some love, the top growth is yellow and twisted. I wouldn't flower them until you get a top of healthy green leaves.

I don't spray my plants. The nutrients I use in Coco are GH Flora series and CaliMagic. There are myriad good hydro nutrients out there but those were what I started with and keep coming back to. You'll need a pH pen and a TDS tester. I water mine with tap water once every two weeks to rinse out retained salts. I'd clean up those plants a bit. MickFoster gave you good information.

Is there a reason you don’t spray your plants? Anything else besides “I don’t need to”? ( : and when you say clean them up, what would you do? Take off sole of the dead and lowers, ones obstructing airflow

You need a way to collect runoff,tray with a drain so plants cant drink the runoff.Coco is so easy its not having a proper runoff system is where people fail.8 plants in 3 gallon pots needs 32 litres of feed per day approx.So 20% of that is runoff.

I take off the underskirts so my plants focus on cola production as opposed to a lot of lower popcorn buds that the light won't penetrate. So whatever penetration level of your light is remove below that. For me and the size plants I grow I strip everything below 18".

In hydro a feeding seemed to take up quicker than foliar feeding has been my experience, early on I did try foliar and found it to be a messy waste of time and I'm lazy. Further once in flower I really don't wish to end up smoking whatever might be left on the buds.

Almost every pest I've had was treatable by a root drench, with the exception of scale and mites. I killed the ones with scale. I actually dipped the clones with mites, because I needed those genetics, then cloned out three generations since I used a neurotoxin. I didn't want to risk a mite infestation so I hit them hard. I dunked as I didn't wish to spray a neurotoxin.

@myke is correct about runoff. I run mine in either 2x4, 4x4 or 5x5 hydro trays so all the run off is ported to a single reservoir that's easy to empty.

I hope that helps. Best of luck in this and do as you wish, they are your plants.
