Glad to here it, i added it for the first time the other day. Do you use just the ripen or all the other nutes with it??
No u cut out all other nutes, in soil 1 ripen then 1 plain water routine, in coco I use at full strenghth 1 feed then just 1ml per ltr next, then a final 3 day ph water flush.

it does but if you buy a bag of coco you'll have to build the mycho life back up anyway. and as i just learned the hard way, the remaining nutes will stunt tlhe growth if you don't thoroughly flush. thats why canna sell a flush http://www.canna-uk.com/canna_flush

or so the bloke down my hydro store told me fella.

Alright guys and gals, during my little play about with coco I was going feed, feed, water etc etc and didn't see any ill effects.
was bottom feeding them by filling up their drip trays so didn't get any run off when watering. Another note whilst feeding and getting run off I'd leave it in the drip tray and the plants would soak it all up anyway, the bottom of my 6L airpots was absolutely matted with roots and the disks at the bottom had to be ripped off, was using 5gal drip trays.
so is the general idea now that you have to feed every time? and that if you don't you'll lose your myco life that quickly?

I find without a ph water flush u can kinda taste that ripen it don't taste totally write anyway.

i used to bu canna coco but now i just buy the briks wat u break down with water,,, the water i use i ph to 5.8 so onceits done its done no need to do again throughout the grow since coco is a natural buffer! much eassier than fucking around with ph up,down,left,right every fucking res change

Yeh you want to feed every water in coco drags its kinda hydro so the days you give plain water your plants not got no food as the coco doesnt hold on to nothin. with the 6ltr airpots i found you needed to water everyday once maybe your at week 3 of flower all depends on the size of plants obviously. but more frequent waterin is best for bigger yields in coco thats why i went with the 6ltr pots i used 10ltr airs an they was sound but found i wasnt waterin as often as i wanted.

I already know the answers to the questions I asked mate or atleast believe I do, I'm with you on the less is more approach, but have to disagree with you on the rest mate, bottom feeding means working harder as the roots have to travel to the water source like the natural water table.
Also the water/feed left behind isn't lying around long, it's out of the heat and light so isn't making a big difference to rh.
I'm talking about coco in 6L airpots what I was doing was similar to flood and drain just with out the drain and the high water level and doing it every day to every other day with lower levels of liquid.

wen u can would u sent me the diameter of a 6 litre airpot matey il see how much diffrence compared to the 11 litre wilma pots,,coz a wilma with airpots will be fucking mental lol

hmmm,, so basically a sortov deep potting tray with your pots ontop and u just fed the tray and the plants sucekd it up,,,,wen u put it the way u just did with the roots searching out the feed,, yeh it does make sence same theory of feeding to let the roots work but diffrent method
