when using perlite on it's own or with coco, mixed 50/50 how do you feed? is it a feeding with base and additives every watering? how do YOU do it?
Yo Non! Long time, my friend! I've used both straight coco, and coco blended with perlite. Naturally, the perlite mix dries out quicker, so I usually feed more often. When I used coco, it was in Dutch Buckets (Bato Buckets) I used drip line pressurized by a simple water pump on a timer, and routed run-off to my lawn. It worked like a champ, however the drip lines were easily clogged, so I added a foam filter before the pump, and added two drip lines per bucket, just in case. I used full strength, low PPM nutrients for every feeding, and only flushed between veg/flower, and again before harvest. I did experiment with feeding, flushing, and letting the pots dry up in different intervals, but have found it more simple to just feed every day, and I don't over feed, so a regular flush wasn't really necessary.
OP! You're still around! Thanks mate it's been awhile I need to refresh memory My journal http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1337855-Nonfiction%27s-Adventure%27s
