Any Advice for First Time Coco Grower

[jdd616]

So I understand coco is hydro so ph around 5.8 also that I will need a good cal-mag supplement so I got cal-mag plus from botanicare. I will be using sensi A+B from advanced as my base. So what im really wondering is how often do you feed nutes if the medium does not retain any like soil. Currently I am growing in soil and feed once a week as instructed by AN's feeding schedule should I keep it the same for coco? also do you add cal-mag with nute feedings only or with every watering? and finally how dry do you let the coco get before the next watering? Man I put a lot of questions in here lol. Well thanks for any tips and help guy's peace

coco has calcium and magnesium in it already so dont add cal-mag for a week or two..and coco grabs on to calcium and magnesium pretty easily so you'll probably just need to add that cal-mag once a week IF THAT..when growing in coco u feed every time u water but i usually water with plain water once a week..me personally, i add my cal-mag those days that i give em just water but u can mix cal-mag with your nutrients its up to u..depending on the size of your pot will depend on how often u need to water..i have one gallon pots of coco and water every other day..but sometimes in mid to late flower when the temp is up and its really dry like around TEMP at 80 HUMIDITY at 25% i have to water every day

I do coco in 1 gal pots also, this is my first coco grow, and probably wont go back to soil. I def water every day/every other.

some crazy sativa in a 1gal bag, 19 days in flower. 2' 7" tall. was less then 10" tall two weeks ago.



cns 17 nutes, cal mag, cannazyme, rhizotonic, dyna gro protekt.

Those are some sexy ladies you got there my friend do you know the strain they look great and healthy and man that is some crazy fast stretch looks like it's gonna yield nicely

another thing..they have certain nutrients that are made just for coco..i've never used em cuz i recently switched to coco but i want to try them..the one i want to try is made by BONTICARE and its called CNS-17 "coco and soil formula" they have 2 or 3 different types of the CNS-17 so make sure if you get that its the coco & soil formula.

Ya I probably should have pointed out it's by bontanicare, I switched to CNS17 after watching RZZA's grow. I love it, no burns yet at 1300ppm. I've now been feeding every watering, and its showing in the results over the past week (was treating coco like soil, feed water water feed).

no jdd, I dont know the strain, was given seeds a few years back, used these for outdoor, now experimenting with them indoors. I got a nice indica dominate pheno also, but as of now only have the sativa dominate pheno going. She turns deep purple late in flower and yields very well, Im expecting 2zips per, at the least.
