howdy peoples

always fancied a go at coco but if im gonna av to get a ec,ph pen and keep checks on the readings etc then why not go straight to hydro? seems like a go between from soil to hydro? grown properly in coco is there any real advantages like the way some say organic soil weed grown right taste best or that hydro yields and is faster for growth.

this headband i read people talking about is it not a clone-only from the states? i thought reserva privada where the only people to sell seeds of headband and i think its pretty fair away from the real clone-only strain could be wrong tho ive never grown or smoked it.

i wouldnt trust myself without them, so dus coco also act as a buffer like soil concerning p.h? or are you testing the once or twice noing what ur nutes n water readings are then just not bothering again?

both measurements, EC is how strong ur nutes are and ph is how acidic or alkaline the water is

its fairly easy bro, just mesure up ur nutes, ph down and feed like compost :) a lot of folks dont use ec/ph pens but get good results, personaly i think the ph is one of the most important bits, but people like ttt/westy/donny show me different ;)

ey up sambo man! if your going hydro the pens and meters are a must but if not n just doing coco in pots then i wouldnt bother with them. their not necessary. im going to kick off my autopots soon and im thinking i might need a pen for the res but then again i figure that what ive got in my bottles of feed will be the same as having it in a res so ill probably not bother then either.

you get my rep a while back man?

I didn't have a ph pen for the first 7 weeks of flower and the buds were lacking big style, when I measure it, my ph was 7.8/7.9 lol so it's no wonder. Got it sorted and they've already started to pick up thankfully.

Haha, fucking hell, shows what the pills have come to, you have to take 12 to get a good buzz. Guessing you didn't sleep for a couple of days?

I don't bother with EC. My nuterients are from a company that quite obviously intend to continue making sales thus making money, so i read the instructions on the bottle and that's that. I see taking ec readings as being awfully pedantic, i think the people that do this are the ones that tend to their plants, check the reseroirs and such every 25 mnutes. I throw the nutes in and don't touch it again till the bastards empty :)
