Yes. Stop using FFOF. I had been growing for 2 years with FFOF and CocoLoco, and very frustrated that I wasn’t seeing better yields. I changed nutrients 4 different times....but only to continue to get the same results. Then someone suggested that I change my medium to soilless. So I switched to Sunshine #4 and had the best crop I had ever grown. Then I switched to ProMix HP (very similar to Sunshine #4) and continued to have better results. Then I switched to Royal Gold Tupur, which is basically coco coir but has the feeling of a soil based grow. You can never overwater in this medium .... The medium was designed to sustain several feedings a day to maximize plant growth and deliver yields similar to DWC. So I’ve been growing in Tupur ever since. That’s what I grow in at home and that’s what we use at my commercial grow. You won’t get huge yields in soil. But you can in soilless medium(s). I’ve lost count of how many times I have brought down 20-22oz harvests between two plants with a 50-60 day veg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The advice is much appreciated, I’ve read about coco and would be open to give that a shot, but I work 45+ hours a week doing the corporate thing. To run coco I would need to feed/water a few times a day right? Only way I can think of is a automated water system, have you ran anything like that? Or if their is another way I’m all ears man
Hello neighbor in 707 as well. Why are you buying that shit from samoa where the fox farm company is. There are farms all down samoa boulevard with amazing dairy compost. I get mushroom compost as well. Anyways where I work only sells in yard scale units at the moment go down to arcata and check out always forget the name but just google organic amendments near me. The girls are kind of cute and hella cool. Also they sell *hides from cdfa* sell fulvic acid. Which fulvic acid for the record is omri approved beneficial organic humate mineral source for your soil as wetting agent and cellular distribution of nutrients.
Not really. You CAN irrigate multiple times a day, but like I said, Tupur feels like growing in soil. When I get busy, I will water/feed once every two days and allow about a 60% dryback before another watering/feeding. But most of the time, I am watering once a day.

Flood and drain or straight up RDWC..... that’s my game there (RDWC)..... I work round the clock, and have Sunday afternoons off. So it’s pretty hands off, but can be a handful when not balanced.
This is actually a good suggestion to reach that elusive pound....especially today where we have automated pH control devices, and cloud-based monitoring platforms that allow you to monitor and control your grow space from anywhere in the world. I’m not saying it is inexpensive, because it isn’t....not yet. But very possible to have an almost hands-off, automated grow in RDWC that yields well over a pound. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bro you ain’t kidding, but if you know your nutes and water, no meter needed except for that flower drop week. But hell by 900ppm it ph’es right at 5.6 from the tap and comes up to temp @68 and ph rise to 58-6.0. Don’t even touch it with up or down, change once a week.
No shit, I always just assumed I couldn’t do coco because of that , I’m going to check it out for sure now
