New to COCO, wanna help?

You can get it in 1/4 inch. It is a rubber hose so yes it is more expensive, but it is so flexable, much more that the plastic hoses.

You can order it direct from them, same price as they sell it for on Amazon.
It's $0.80 a foot, but I think it is worth it.

Blumat superflex 8mm?

$110 cdn for 50'

That sound right? Seems expensive compared to all the others, but the stuff I originally bought was cheap and acts cheap, so I want good stuff

What gr865 said.
I need to touch and feel this 8mm silicone tubing at my local hydro hut. If they have it.

As i said I use the 1/4 inch superflex, too hard finding fittings for the 8 mm, except from Sustainable Village.

Well i havent had much luck finding that superflex tubing, unless i want 8mm

Amazon.ca only has the 8mm for $110

Amazon.com has the 1/4" but dont ship to Canada

Sutainable Village also wont ship to Canada


Is there any reason i cant just use the 1/4" clear gasline?

 

[TintEastwood]

This type of 1/4?

I think that's the stuff I have now, it's like hard plastic , no flex to it at all and is very difficult / next to impossible to fit over the cheap manifold ports .

Oh ok. Not sure.

This too seems flexible. I despise the hard line stuff too!

Ya that stuff may be better, it says it's soft and has some flex.

Gonna try it out lol

Thanks TE

When are you guys normally cut out Silica?

Also calmag till the end?

When to give koolbloom dry pk boost?


@Renfro i been using the H3ad formula of 6/9 micro and bloom. I Haven't used the grow bottle at all, would you recommend any tinkering near the end as we discussed before? Altho if i recall, you dropped grow and increased bloom correct?

Thanks bud, I forgot all about floraflex, do the tubing fit standard 1/4 fittings?

New manifolds finally got here, everything should be automated in a few days, work has been insane, so as soon as i find some time.



Question, when do i start adding dry koolbloom as pk boost?

Also do you guys taper nutes down towards the end or continue with full feedings right up until chop?

Probably week 4 or 5 give it a hit. Then again at week 7 or 8.

Thanks bud

how much do you give your plants? In terms of ppm?

DJM I think was only adding 75-100 ppm. This sound in similar ball park as your self?

 

[diggs99]

Here's a day 27 since flip update

They are stacking up nice

2 girls not trellised Are under the 315

 

[Renfro]

Early I would say about 150 PPM and late about 200 PPM.

Also calmag till the end?

Silica to the end, it helps yields.

Calmag to the end, I tried once cutting it down for the last few weeks, from 5 mL/gal to 3.33 and saw signs of Calcium deficiency on the bud leaves so I don't cut the calmag at all anymore.
