When to start using nutes in coco?

[Stblazed]

currently got 3 10 day old seedlings in coco.
When do I start feeding nutes? I will be using biobizz.
Fed to early on my last grow with canna a+b and nuked them!

http://www.cannagardening.com/growguide They say 600 ppms but that seems kind of high for seedlings.. I go about 400 ppms with no issues w/ GH

Start feeding with a weak solution, maybe 1/4 or even 1/8. I start after first leaves come out.

1/4 strength bloom solution to start. I pre-charge my coco before I plant with 1/4 strength bloom solution so the roots have food immediately.

From the start I use PH 5.8 water and rhizotonic. I will give them a weak feed next time and see how they get on

Why bloom isn't that for flower?

Root development consumes P

So a weak bloom solution is good for a pre-charge or first watering?

Yes, a bloom solution has a lot of phosphorous which promotes root growth. Actually, I use bloom for the entire grow from the day it sprouts - I don't use grow at all.

Try to stick between 6.2 and 6.5 ph when using coco as your medium. Its basically hydro.

Every book I've read about coco growing has said 5.8-6.0 PH.

Depending on your nutrients, some may not be effectively absorb specific nutrients due to ph being too low or too high, but as fsr as personal experience goes 6.2-6.5 is where i get my best results.
