View attachment 2551810Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday, got a question about Coco. I just made the switch and put a layer of perlite up to the drain hole and the rest is Coco up to the top. From all the info I have read I should ideally be watering daily but every other day is fine. Also feed/feed/water cycle still applies. Looking and feeling at the top layer of coco it still looks damp for 2 to 4 days after watering. Should I be watering daily anyway and will it probably dry faster once the clone has better roots? Should I leave the bottom layer just perlite and the rest a mixture of perlite and coco rather than pure coco? And last question, should i be using the tiniest bit of cal/mag each feeding or wait until I see signs of deficiencies to apply it? I am using advanced nutrients sensi grow a and b and each time i feed i use about 6 ml of a and 6ml of b , a few drops of nirvana, and sprinkle some soluble powder seaweed in the water as well. On a side note for those who are seed shopping my last couple of rounds have been sensi seeds northern lights, which were costly, yielding decent smoke, decent yields, and decent bag appeal. The freebies were femmed g13 labs og13 (their version of og kush) and paradise seeds femmed delahaze. I am phasing out the nl to keep growing og13 and delahaze as their yield, smoke, and bag appeal are top notch.
HI Casper!!
I switched to coco recently as well, and here is what I am doing::
I also use perlite in the res just past the drain hole, then 100% Coco on top of that to fill the bucket.
I feed with EVERY WATERING.. Keep in mind that this is basically Hydro. I also found the Coco looked REALLY Wet, so I was afraid I might over water, but apparently that is the beautiful thing about Coco, you can either let it dry out, or water often.. I am a water every day, to every other day grower, and they love it.
I am not using the GH Line for Coco, but rather the CNS17, and have not needed any CalMag yet,, So that's a bonus for me.. I was kinda getting used to the regular Calmag Deficiency,, But have not seen it in quite some time now.
Hope this helps a little, and I am sure others will chime in
