Any of you blokes using coco and if so what is your preparation? also organic or salt?
I`m coming from soil/potting mix and also dwc.
About a week will be out of seedling mode and gotta decide to go with coco or stick to what I know.
Thanks.

I use coco, 0 prep just i use salt nutes, coco is good if you want semi hydro results with the ease of soil maintenance

Yes reuse most of it. Whatever breaks off the root ball easily goes back in the tub, the root ball goes to compost.

I flush the coco well before adding the lime so the PH stays pretty stable and I only feed to very minimal run off unless there is an issue

I've started running minimal to no run off lately and like the results so far, just a matter of getting your dry down periods dialled in, controlling the E.C of the Coco and you're sweet

Yeah I been doin no run off/minimal recently to as long as your feeds are good you're sweet, though my last few runs I've been heavy handed on th pk and that's shown

If you're running close to no run off your E.C in the Coco will rise throughout your cycle so you I drop base nutes 50% when I go for a P.K boost

Yeah I drop base nutes to im still figuring it out coz constantly changing aspects of the grow room

I hand water mine to nearly no run off the older they get....
Seems to work for me I thought it would be the other way around

 

[beernutz]

Don't know if that means much not being auto fed

[Bastardman]

perlite coco mix?

flush the coco real good?

calmag the coco before use?

nutes everyday or straight water alternating?

ph 6 start to finnish?

check ppm and ph in the runoff?

is it true you cant over water coco?

sorry for all the questions.

Yes

No

No

Nutes everyday/every watering

I like to be at 5.7/5.9 P.H for veg and early flower then I let it go up to 6.0/6.2

It doesn't hurt to monitor run off but input E.C and P.H are more important.

Nothing wrong with hand watering bro

I've done coco and coco perlite treat em the same really coco perlite drys faster

Depends what coco you get if you need to flush cheap stuff yeah

I dont pre charge or buffer my coco and get no problems

Nutes everyday or judge by the plant sometimes a straight water feeding won't hurt if youve fed a bit heavy

Ph 5.8 ideally

No

You can over water if you're a sped with it one my mates managed it got root rot but he was watering so much

 

[klx]

whats your ph goin in?

5.8 ish

Ah the land of the double pot system!! I just recently sent a treasure trove of genetics to a friend down near Burleigh Heads/Goldcoast. Prepare yourself for some of the hottest shit your country has EVER SEEN

 

[detgreenthumb]

It's my absute favorite place

 

[beernutz]

Depends how you feed

I feed every day to near no run.off till mid veg then the rest of the way I do a lot of run off
Then in flower minimal runoff till week 4 then a lot of run.off till finish
