So sup growers, I got few questions to ask about coco, I am switching from organics to coco coir (not my thing now that I know) Basically I did a few runs about 4 in total and the last 3 where bad buds like full of nutes. And I said I am gonna give coco a chance So right away am going to ask some questions, if any help or tips can come my way and hope that helps me and each other thanks in advanced. Q: 1: feeding If I want to grow more weeks in veg do I feed 100ppm more every week, example 6 week veg is 650ppm and next week it is 750ppm and so up? 2: watering in a big pot (5 galon) First I will spray R.O 5.8ph for germination in coco directly and after it sprouts I wil be feed spraying about 20ml (150ppm) (lights on) then I second spray 20ml 0-10ppm just R.O (10h after lights on) till I can get a run-off? Is it a good thing or is there any better watering practices remeber that this is in a 5 galon pot. 3: run-off / watering When can I get a run-off in a bigger pot (5 galon)? / Do I keep the coco wet, damp, or can is there a sweet spot? Hopefully see y all soon. Love Love Love
I highly suggest you start in solo cups. It's easier to maintain the proper moisture level and you'll get faster growth. I start feeding daily to run off starting around 3 days from sprout and transplant after 2 weeks to a larger pot. I can't help with ppm's because I have never owned a meter. What nutes do you plan on using? Coco basics: Feed daily to substantial run off once roots are well established. Never give plain water and never let the coco dry. I feed twice a day in flower. These are 2 weeks from sprout. Good luck and welcome to GC.
Thank you for your genercy and anwser, What nutes do you plan on using? I would like to use plagron A&B coco nutes. Okay so I am gonna grow 2 weeks in a solo cup thanks for that afterwards can I just go big in a 5 gallon and water till run-off? And what is established roots mean? If I water till run-off in a bigger pot in coco does it mean it would be like a bottom watering? And would it be bad. Thanks in advanced
A 5 gallon pot for coco is unnecessary..........you can grow a tree in a 2 gallon pot using coco.........I use 2.6 gallon pots. I transplanted the plants in my above pic the day after I took the pic......15 days from sprout. I started feeding to run off the day after transplant. The roots will grow faster when starting in solo cups and they should be established in about 3 to 4 days. This pic is right after transplant........fed to run off the next day.
