Yeh mate a couple of flushers durin the grow is sound if needs be just make sure you use a week nute mix just to keep your micro life happy an buffers in check sayin that if your cocos not buffed may not need to mate what you use?
Old Las used to bottom feed with no probs he used to use old rags cut up, in the bottom of the pots to wik the water up. would probs stop them growin out everywhere to.
Id say the ph'in was very important in coco mate some would disagree but there the lucky fucks that tap waters sound mine comes out at around 7.6 if i add rhiz like in veg it goes up to like nearly 9 sometimes which is no good for ya plants once i stop usin it id probs get away with not ph'in but always do. an them coco peeps that dont ph an use rhiz bet they would get better results early on in veg if they did...................yes im talkin to you chedz! lol
yeah I used a really weak nute mix whilst I flushed mate, I always ph everything my tap water is shit I don't think I could manage without it, scrap that I know I couldn't manage without it.
I had a mix when I gave it a bash mate I used,6L airpots, 5gal drip trays, plagron coco, canadian express grow, bloom and potash. I had to change the canadian express grow because it was dodgy (lacking nitrogen?) and bought a bottle of Ionic grow and went with that.
Was an easy grow but could have been easier the plagron coco wasn't much cop tested the run off and the numbers were crazy so had to flush the lot to the right ph.
The canadian express grow that was lacking nitrogen was why I flushed the first time was in need if N and increasing the dose wasn't helping and after about a week saw a couple of burnt tips, so flushed it and then went with the Ionic grow and after the first watering/feed the prob was sorted.
thinking canna sounds a lot less hassle and no prep, so might be swapping soon checked yesterday and my soil reserves are running low, I have to quit smoking aswell now so thinking fuck the taste difference and take the extra yield.
plus sambo's was some damn good coco grown smoke, that's what's got me thinking about the switch mate
