good to know this about coco cause my next grow will be coco if bloomandgrow ever get there shit together, can u add just a small amount of canna a&b to every watering to buffer the ph? or do you need just plain water every second feed? also when i add stuff like canna boost and revive do i add that to the water before i add canna a&b or after?

Yo bro u know your ph is ment ro fluctate so it gets ti take all minerals from each stage of ph you dont need to fuck around with cocco aslong as its buffered you ll b sweet ive grown in cocco for as long as i care to rememberand neva used a single tool other than a syringe and a knife to whisk my nutes uo its that easy !! Fuck about with it and it ll start fuckin around with u!
It's been fucked since I flushed it, was a bad mistake to do that :p now it needs sorting, plant hasn't been able to uptake any magnesium in the past few days.

it says on the canna coco a&b that you must mix part a with the water then add part b or the two wont mix properly is that not the case?

ok but should i add the stuff like revive before part a? cause i think you need that stuff in first then a&b will buffer the water to the right ph, am i right do i get a red star?

It doesn't matter what order you go in, you will still need to PH your water after everything is added to get to 5.8, unless you are a wizard and can always hit 5.8 somehow.

i dont have any ph tester and never had problems, i thought the canna coco a&b buffers the ph to the correct level? do u use ph up and ph down or what?

Might be wrong kang but i think the bio is the only one that buffers.

Well guys built my little veg box and shes a beaut. Have to pick something up in bloom and grow tomorrow so just gonna pick up a 125 w envirolite for veg. Im only going to veg for about 3 weeks. Do u guys think the 125w will be ok. Never vegged with cfls. Will get a pic tomorrow night when i have it up and runing.

I popped a few beans tonight paper towel zip lock bag method in the hotpress. Ive had 100% success in 2 days so far so fingers crossed for this run. 1x kandy kush (reg) 1x big bud ( reg) 1x sour cream (fem) 1xch9 afghani milk. Never grown any of these and have also never grown regs before. Any tips

I was sure i read that it buffers the ph but when i went back and looked at it again it doesn't lol i always just place the seed in moist soil and slightly cover and place under a cfl and they pop every time and start growing right away

It will buffer it at 5.8 and keep it there if you set the pH to 5.8 every watering. Otherwise the water in the Coco/Res would change pH from sitting there.

They're getting there, they were in the smaller pots too long, and the soil I used was drained of nutes before I even planted them (was being cheap and reusing old soil, big mistake). They'll take off properly soon enough, they're all topped and cloned at this stage and I killed one of the runt Skunks, the clones should tie me over tho ;)
