Oh, and wth a drip system or auto waterer, is the rez supposed to have the nutes already in it or do I do that by hand.

Plus you get all the micro life in coco that you get in soilTDS is less hard to get than pH - it may well be that the cheap ones will do the trick for you - but I wouldn't know, I only have the HM one.
Some do water/feed/water/feed in coco, I prefer to feed every time. Also depends on your method - with drips 4 times a day I guess you don't have to feed every time.
If you use a res, you want the nutes to be in it, be defeating the purpose without it...
the thing about coco is that feeding and getting runoff (that cleans it) every time allows you to keep a more or less constant medium content - ppms and ph. This makes it a lot more like hydro (DWC for instance) than like soil, only with the benefit of using pots and being able to water by hand, and the more important benefit of not having to keep your water saturated with oxygen - the coco will do that for you (unless you water it constantly). It can never be overwatered (unless the plants are small still and have not filled the medium with roots).
yep. though i would think you should be using organic nutes to properly enjoy that.Plus you get all the micro life in coco that you get in soil

I haven't used cannazyme for a couple couple grows now. Just haven't re ordered it. The stuff for sure breaks down roots though. I fed it to 3 monsters the whole way through. after I pulled the root ball, I let the 3 gal bags sit for a couple days.I use canna coco pro its got some trichoderma already present, and then cannazym to keep them goin...................defo a thought for the future added some different kinds to my coco tho!
Yeh mate defo a must if your re-usin the coco................i only use every 3rd feed once ive stopped usin the rhiz so goes a long way too.I haven't used cannazyme for a couple couple grows now.

After I chucked the bags all I found was coco and perilite....maybe 5% roots. And it smelled so fresh and earthy.
Gonna have to buy some more.
I used it all the way through, from start to finish. I havnt noticed much of a difference without it, just the roots being non existent once the plant is harvested.Yeh mate defo a must if your re-usin the coco................i only use every 3rd feed once ive stopped usin the rhiz so goes a long way too.
Hi mate this info is off the thread below, it helped me alot when i was startin in canna coco, ................use nutes every day and yes get rid of the run off, and i have planted a cracked seed in coco and it germed but now i use root riots then stright to coco hope this helps mate good luckSo, say I go ahead and use canna nutrients and canna coco, and I water by hand until there is 30% run off, I would water every day and use the nutes every day? And also, if I have my pots on trays, do I to get rid of the run off or let it evaporate and suck back up into the coco? Sorry for so many questions it has just been hard finding and sorting through every ones methods to get all of the questions I need answered. But as far as that meter goes, I need one that reads ppm's right? I have ph drops.
Oh and one more thing, do I plant the seedlings straight into the coco or can I pop the bean after it cracks in there, and how soon to start feeding nutes?
I'm using coco chips in flood and drain but I converted to Top Drip in Air pots.Any comments regarding using coco coir or coco chunks for flood and drain system? I'm considering this for my next setup. Thanks in advance.
Hows it workin out for you mate the top drippin in airpots?.....thinkin about doin it myself, im allready in airpots what size do you use?I'm using coco chips in flood and drain but I converted to Top Drip in Air pots.
The hydro store here in my town only had the 5 liter air pots for sale ( 1.25 gallons) . I love using top drip recirculating its easy and not much maintenance .Hows it workin out for you mate the top drippin in airpots?.....thinkin about doin it myself, im allready in airpots what size do you use?
