.....coco stays wet but holds lots of oxygen............just let it dry a little each time while your seedlings are small to encourage root growth.....and get that ph pen sorted.

That is what I've been doing. Ill probably give them some more water today. Would you recommend a pen, or the drops?

just get a couple of cheapo pens off amazon so you can check em against each other..i got 2 for 8 squid each.....drops arent as accurate or quick......
 
How many of you guys are feeding with every watering and how many of you are doing something different?

For those of you feeding with each watering what PPM are you sticking to through Veg and how often are you flushing?

New to growing in coco, I usually grow in DWC. I just transplanted my Purple Elephant clone over and planted 3 germinated seeds. I am using Roots Organic Coco Fiber Mix and some 9.4" Self-Watering Planters that I picked up from Wal-Mart. I know now that I overwated my plant so I am waiting for her to snap back. I am growing the three new germinated seeds under a 12|12 lighting cycle. I do have a question, what should the normal ph and ppm be for soilless mix?

I cudnt tell you the ppm as I don't have a pen for that but this is how I do it start you base nutes at the quarter doze and work your way up by reading your plants, it's the dark green ur looking for. the Ph is same as your dwc always at 5.8

Is funny coz I was thinking of starting in dwc just 1 plant just for the experience and who knows I might like it better, why is it that ur switching from dwc??
 
Coco is da shiznit I went over to a buddies grow this Guy has buds as big as my arm and he has no ppm or ph pen I check it and it's 7.5 Idk he just wings with cns17 and hydroplex and says I don't need no ph and ppm meter. I think coco is the only reason though.

I agree, coco cuttings don't seem to take as fast. I really like Root Riots!

i ph about 24 cubes of small rockwool in a tsp of root excelurator and a tsp of Superthrive for 24hrs. Then just take my cuttings with scissors and right into the cubes. into a tray with vents closed for 7 days. i almost ALWAYS have 100% success with this. if i use a heat mat i will also spray the cubes after 5 days.
 
Here are my babies 13 days into flower all in coco, i got some pics of the roots kind of. The roots are rediculous coming out of the top so dense for how big the plants are. I love coco so far, just takes a while for plants to start in coco it seems probably will start in soil next time and go to coco after or do a mix! here they are IMG_20120608_194621.jpgIMG_20120608_194645.jpg
 
See I find at 1st transplant of the clones. Into coco I let it dry out good and usually will see a root or 2 hanging out the bottom. I think it is a must for that rooting process. H G roots exc man that's a pretty penny. I been using rapid start and at 1ml a gallon well sometimes anyways. Any one tried dynas kln I think it's ingredients are close to superthrive I mite b wrong I picked up a looked at it that's all
