New coco grower here. Been growing for 19 years and this is my first run with coco... Had extreme growth like I'd never seen before with promix or other peat based mixes... All of that changed though around day 20-25 of flower, since then I have been having several issues. I am currently using Advanced Nutrients Sensi coco a&b, I have tried dozens of nutrient lines in the past and around 3 years ago I settled with Advanced. But in coco, I've had too many issues during flower and csnt really figure out what I'm doing wrong. Nothing too severe, but not satisfactory at all...
I'm just curious for those of you that are running coco, which nutrients have you had the best success with? I am thinking of switching to either Canna, Blue Planet or Remo. Cost is not really an issue as my grow always pays for itself plus so much more in the end...
While I am at it, i also would like to add another question... When growing with coco, do you guys flush? I've had a few lockout issues along the way from salt buildup, all started when i realized i was not getting runoff for a couple of weeks straight. Since then, I've been making sure of runoff and i usually feed around 3 to 4 times during lights on. Most plants are filling out nicely and some are nearing harvest. However I have a few that just seem like they are not progressing, kinda like the swelling and hardening stage is stalled and they just wont fill out.... I think the issue is lockout, too much salt/food buildup. Do you guys think if I go ahead and flush the remainder of the week or two I have left that it will flush out and then use the remaining to get back on track and finish filling out? Or with coco is it better to do a shorter type of flush, like straight ph'd water for a couple of days or with a weak nutrient solution? Instead of a longer one?
