If you're not able to get a good reply on this site. I see that icmag.com has an actual forum for coco coir growers that is pretty active. Would definitely check that out if I was in your place.
i have now changed my mind and bought a few bags of BioBizz PreMix soil byt the looks of it it looks to be alryt stuff hopeing for some serious growth this time as my other plants are only small just over a foot is the strain naturly small and bushy as i vedged for a good month.
how cum the perlite is needed to stop the plants soaking too much water up like a wick iv herd alot about overwater problems but iv been told other wise by the shop that the new smark valves do not overwater:s iv got the room set up not and have placed my 7 hand watered soil plants and two clones into 2 of the autopots would you advise using rockwool on cloned on a soil medium and waht sould i mantain my ph at its 6.5 at the moment
Perlite helps drain and acts as a filter to the soil so it does not come out of the bottom. I also use root control fabric at the very bottom to prevent root clogs. The autopot instuctions online call for the perlite at the bottom. In soil I am running 6.5 - 6.7 in the autpots. My pots are very small (I made my own autopot system w/ the smartvalve) so I keep my nutes pretty high. So far so good. I don't put my plants in the autopot system until they are about 2-3" tall or so and then they are moved into 2.4 liter pots in the autopot trays. I have 2 plants per valve. i am going to coco for my next grow. It should be interesting. I don't know anything about rockwool, but do use rapid rooter and transplant those into soil. Can't be much different. One last thing, make sure your feed every day at 1/3 or 1/2 strength and work your way up. Also, put an airstone or pump or both in your reservoir to keep things circulated and aerated. I use both. Also, flush every 2-3 weeks to avoid salt buildup. good luck!
how long do the cuttings usualy talk to root in aerophonic prop and what addatives do you recomend and what is the best way to remove powder mildew with out the chemicals as i am 2 weeks away from harvest or what will happen if it is left will it spread and rot. can it be slowed down ect
has anybody on this forum grown this strain befor and are there any other strains you can recoment im looking for a nice yield without a long veg time
post pics of your autopot grows!!! please .. i wanna just get a bunch of smartvalves.. get a tray and put a bunch of my own big pots in with the root control things,, and a rez above that smartvalve...post ur autopot pics!!
