Coco outdoor guerilla grow project.

What's going on GC, wanted to start my outdoor grow. I have a lot of canna coco coir & was going to use it for my out door project run. I just wanted to know or talk about using organic nutrients. What would be a good mix of things to use with this outdoor setup. I've seen a couple of things like fox farm fertilizer that look like pellet balls. Also have heard of using bat guano or worm casting. It's going to be out there in the forest, so not trying to go back and fourth a lot. So just give me some of your two cents. Thanks for the advise. Hopefully I'll have some pics as we go along and start a diary.

It's going to be out there in the forest, so not trying to go back and fourth a lot.

a few summers ago i did a crop in a mix of 1/3 coco, 1/3 castings, 1/3 potting soil, w/ some soil moist added. i didnt feed em or or have too water much during veg. during bloom i fed em schultz african violet plant food in non-ph'ed hose water (its as simple as it gets). it got hot and dry for several weeks and i was having to make 2 trips a week to give em a drink. but it was only about a 100' walk through the shit for me so i could pack in 8 gallons of mix in with not much trouble, and by not much trouble i mean: stumblin over shit, sweatin like hell cause its hot and humid as fuck, goddamn mosquitoes fuckin eatin ya alive, briers tearin the shit out of ya because lets face it, sticker bushes make for great security. so my advise for growin under the giant mh/hps is to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst because you will have to go out a few times.

I am just getting into this sort of stuff, so no promises...
A mixture that should work for you:

120 parts Coco
40 parts Worm Castings
20 parts Composted Cow Manure
20 parts perlite
4 parts Blood Meal
4 parts Bone Meal
4 parts Kelp Meal
1 part Epsom Salt
1 part Dolomite Lime

Mix this up and let it cook for 30 days. Start the seedlings in a 33/33/33 mixture of this, pure coco, and perlite to reduce the exposure to too much food too soon. Layering of the mixture (hotter towards the bottom with more Compost) will provide food for the plant as it grows.

You could utilize other amendments (many other amendments), but this base organic mixture should keep them rolling outdoors without too much need for mixing nutrients on a regular basis. You might want to top dress with higher PK guano and additional Micro when they begin to bloom.

Wash your coco before using it to ensure it is salt free. Canna likes to include a pre-charge in their coco that can be too much for seedlings at times. Clean coco gives peace of mind.

Kool, thanks for all the info my fellow GC'ers. Will try, If anyone one else has any more insite please LMK. Also how do you measure in parts? I was trying to find a answer but was confused on how to measure this way. Thanks

Forgot to add something

Just when you find a place dont skimp out out going for huge walks. Think about when flowering comes along and if u picked a shit spot some kids will take it or even walkers could step on them

take a shiney new silver dollar and put on the ground in plain site were it can easily be seen, if you go back and that silver dollar is gone ... then youve been had.

im going to something very similar thisseason and i found roots organic foundation grow and bloom they are all organic pre mix nutes/amendment and it has just about everything that they pute in there soil if not more. they also have a bag of organic macro and micro nuts with a lot of calcium and mag. which is perfect for coco.
