In the future, after hydrating the coco blocks in the drum dump the coco into a large fabric pot (I use a 30G or 60G but you can use whatever size needed depending on how many blocks you are hydrating).

Run a hose for several minutes through the coco and you will see the runoff change from brown to clear.

Then you can go ahead and water with some Cal-Mag to “charge” the coco.

Seriously? Can you say "air pruning"?

No, but I can say water leaking out the sides, overly humid air in the room and medium drying out too fast. Is it worth all that for air pruned roots? If it was a tree that would be growing for years then maybe, but a weed plant that will be growing for a few months, doubt it would help much. All you do is prune the roots when potting up to larger ones, cut the ends of the roots off with scissors.

It depends on your growing style. For DTW coco with multiple feeds per day fabric pots work great! For outdoor it keeps the root zone much cooler than traditional black plastic pots.

what is this happening to my leaf on my dwc system GG Auto ?

All ready discussed

I'm assuming you still arnt Watering daily

The pots are not completely dried ..so i mworried if i agaib feed them then it will be suffering from nutrient burn.

Well


Do it your way then, not how 99.99% of Coco growers do it

With coco you always feed, with about 10-20% runoff to flush out excess salts. Never plain water.

You should look through https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/
I wouldn't take everything there as gospel, but you'll be a hell of a lot better off than you are now

sure friend. i am going through it right now. thanks for the advice

How is it still 65 ppm if it's RO? Using a ZeroWater deionizing filter pitcher makes it 000 PPM, they include a salts meter with the pitcher. I think you need to change the membranes or whatever, or it's leaking around the membranes, something is obviously wrong.

Hmmm ... 2 things
1 - RO water will ruin ph meters
2 - RO water has no ph so 6.5 hopefully means he added a touch of PH up before he checked it

I said ppm not pH though, two completely different things. Ppm is the salts concentration, pH is the acidity/alkalinity.

Yes Bob ... I'm aware of that ... but he did post that the RO water had a ph of 6.5
