My current grow is different from the normal setup due to space restrictions and having to start from scratch again with seeds. But currently my setup:

1 x 4x4 tent

1 x 3.5x3.5 tent

(Usually it's a 4x8 but no room to set it up in my small basement)

Oscillating fan in each running 24/7

600w lights A/C with 6" inline fan 1 for each and a can filter on each running 24/7

Dehumidifier running 24/7

Both tents run passive intake I'll be installing some PVC elbows to help avoid light leaks but I just usually never go down there during flowering period.

I start seeds/clones under 4 x 3' t5 ho bulbs in red party cups in pure coco then transplant into 3 gal pots coco mix depends sometimes i add perlite some i don't fan in the room running 24/7 not directly on them but oscillating enough to make them move in the breeze a bit

Veg/flower nutes
( using the last of precious grows until my next grow when I will be switching to dyna-gro)

Veg: Last of my Advanced ph perfect grow
Flower: Last of my botanicare bloom/ripe

Veg nutes depended on color/last watering. I try to water daily but sometimes get busy and they can go a few days without a water but if I water daily i use 1ml a+b of ph perfect per ltr and outa 7 waterings maybe 2 will be just plain water. Keeps them pretty green if I see yellowing I'll increase for a day or 2 by a ml or so.

Currently running all new strains so not sure how much flower nutes I'll be running as I just flipped to 12/12 yesterday.

Additives: canna labs silicate - very little at 1ml per gallon.

PH i normally will do 5.8 but occasionally I'll let it go 5.7 or 5.9

Water temps are usually around 68f

I try hand watering daily, if I do I water by hand, each plant gets 1 ltr of water

Humidity is usually around 40-50%

Light cycles
24 hrs veg
12/12 flower

How long do I veg and flower depends on the grow it's never the same

I never check runoff,
I never check ppm,
I always PH

How long have you been running the Canna Labs silicate.

Where do you run your PH in Veg and Flower? And do you water mornings or lights off?

ideally you should water lights on, it's when the plants are drinking the most, that said i water when i can unless i live in the garden (which i don't at the minute) disturbing the dark period is a bit of a no-no so if i do water in the dark i will make damn sure to do the next feed with the lights on. (i'm talking over 100l of medium that i only water twice weekly so having them wet at night is inevitable anyway)


in a garden with smaller pots i would try to water lights on every time.

seedlings and cuttings i will not even adjust the ph, veg plants i will feed with a p.h of around 6.0 and flower girls will get 5.5.-6.2 depending on the stage of growth. ph in flower is so much more important than in veg imo.

So I've been trolling and scrolling through thread after thread on every forum on the internet for some time now. And I'd like to have a thread dedicated to just Coco growers and their setup and routines. Can be elaborate or short and sweet. Basically I'm curious to others feeding routines and room setups to compare and get ideas. I believe this could be a quick reference to others as well. Of course I understand the learning curves can differ but all in all it's an idea of where to start.
Examples being : Veg and flowering nutes and brands and how much do you use, water temps, drain to waste, hand pouring, humidity, light cycles, bulb wattage, bulb types, water oxygenation, how long do you veg and flower, do you do complete runoffs every watering-ect, PH levels and tds levels in every phase, extra additives, what time of day do you water, what size buckets and anything else that people can compare too with coco growing.
I'm fairly new to growing and I'm hungry for knowledge. I love the whole aura that surrounds this world of Cannabis with new beneficial study's happening that are going to be discovered to help people with all sorts of health problems. I'd like to say I could maybe be one of those people one day that could discover something new and exciting myself to add some good

for best growth with coco from full rooted clones we run 3 feeds at 1 min every day for 6 days or the 7th day we flush repeat the process till u hit week 7 the plain water for 2 weeks after that ph is at 6 no higher or less 6 on the dot perfect grows each and every time

Yeah I but the bullet and got a blue lab ,
I was running h&g a b and had problems switched to canna , same problems then found my ec meter was fucked and was feeding 2 x what my meter said , now with canna beautiful in veg but whenever I push it in flower I still get nitogen claw which delays the shit out of my bitches so im gona try advance nutrients sensi bloom coco which has a much better npk for flower,
And im no pro grower , just tryin to find some nutrients that will deliver me some quality but with no toxicies or deficiencies haha I dont ask for much
, il let you know how this change goes for me.

I seriously dont understand why I keep getting nitrogen claw and delayed bitches ?
Decent environment , airflow , ec of 0.8 -1.1 in veg slowly bumping up after stretch and BAM! To much nitrogen wtf!
Growing can do your head in!!
Thank fuck I dont smoke much and it only takes a couple of oz every few months to keep the bowl full, still it would be nice to get a gram per watt or even close

Last grow and my current grow. I think it was a few bucks and I barely used a dent on the bottle so far. It was the only silicate my hydro store had at the time, i like it but during winter I gotta keep it somewhere warm or it gets crazy thick

i've been in coco for a long time. best advice i can suggest is a couple things. rinse your new coco, even if it's, "pre-rinsed." use coco specific nutes/supps. (if you do, you shouldn't need cal-mag.) keep your ph at 5.8 from beginning to end. once the plants get established in veg. feed at least once a day. "always," ensure you get a good 10-15% run-off at every feed. never flush, you should never have to, unless you want to at the end. i like using about 15% perlite in my coco too. it's the best medium, imo...
