Hi, I am currently into first coco grow... I have 5 baby's going strong.... 3 weeks into vedg yesterday....
feeding with Hy-gen coco grow products....
Nutrient ec 2.2 daily.
Nutrients/water Ph at 5.8
1x 600w blue spectrum hps bulb.
Humidifier. Humidity at 35% lights on, 55% lights off.
Running 18/6 light cycle..
Here's some pics...
The biggest one is an Ak47 photo period strain for cloning eventually.
The rest are ak47and gorrilia glue autoflowers...
Let me know what you think

I agree with @twentyeight.threefive

These are receiving 1.0EC daily and are 9 days into 12/12 I achieve around 20% runoff each feeding.

You're feeding too high and your coco is too dry. Plants look healthy enough for now.
How do you suggest I water/feed??

I've been flushing every week and half,
Feeding with 500ml solution at a time but increasing as plants continue to grow. ... checking ec runoff every second day... ec run off at 1.5
Run off 20%

Feed the entire pot until significant runoff. No need to check runoff EC. Just make sure your feed is at the proper EC and pH. No need to even measure how much you are feeding. As long as you have significant runoff you're good.

Thanks for that... I'm willing to give it a go at that ec, but my tap water is already 0.4 ec. So just wondering how you would arount and calculate for that?

My water is 0.2 EC. So I add 0.8EC of nutrients.

my honest advice right now is if it’s working with those EC values keep going but make sure you soak all the coco and get 20% runoff back out (my nutrient manufacturer would have me at 1.8EC now)

I’ve gotten more use out of this link..


I started out following the stuff on this site and have done great, much better than my soil plants. The only thing is they recommend feeding like 5-6 times a day which I don’t do anymore. Once a day until they get bigger was fine and now i do twice a day most of the time.
