Hey so I recently was wondering what if I were to use dry amendments such as Down To Earth in my coco coir and just feed water? and of course re-ammend after a few weeks. I’ve seen Mr.Canucks grow with gaia green dry nutes and I’ve seen alot of people disagree with his way of growing but it has my attention. Does anybody have experience with that method? Suggest to sticking with liquid nutes with coco?
u can use dry nutes in coco, just mix em up first. If you are treating coco like it was organic, and u premix it in, idk about that, but I've seen gardeners use like 1/3 coco in their organic mix. I use maxibloom sometimes to grow in coco/perlite from start to finish, but that is drain-to-waste setups, and that works great.
I'm actually using something called earthdust and you amend say some fox farm ocean forest or something like that and water only. Having great results.
That's 21 days from flip to 12/12 in a 3g fabric. 2x4 tent with 3, 100w quantum boards. Last two harvest were around 5 ounces dry and those were the first two runs and I didn't properly amend. This run I amended the fox farm with my own compost and additional perlite. Then amended with earthdust and neem meal, let cook for about 14 days. She's been in that for 3 weeks of flower and about 10-14 days veg. I'll topdress with the bloom amendment and compost in about 10 days. Water only so far and thats hopefully the plan to finish it out.
Ahh okay, so to keep it simple, I’ll just mix the dry nutes into the water to feed instead of mixing it into the soil. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Only if adding water makes them available to the plant. Otherwise there needs to be microbe action to convert the raw nutrients into a useable form. Coco is not soil
