Replanted into Dixie cups

just wait till the soil is dry thats what i do.
pick it up after you water.see how it weighs in your hand.when its lighter water it.
letting it dry out is good for the roots so they stretch to try and find water.

There is no "normal".

6 oz is about what I would give them also though, so that's good.

It's quite easy to judge though. Feed/water them with 6 oz. Then do so again as soon as there is slight drying of the coco. That's it. It's obv when coco gets dry since it changes from dark brown to very light brown. If you see even a little bit of light brown on the very top layer. Water them again. That might take one day or it might take 3 days. Follow that rule and you will be golden. You can water before it starts drying too, but you won't know what timing that will take unless you let it get to that point a couple times.

So glad someone had a coco question, lol. It's the only medium I know about.

Also, don't listen to soil growers

Coco is a little different. I have a little soil experience, but a good amount of coco experience.

 

dude u gota poke some holes at the bottom of the dixie cup please.
u need holes in the bottom man so it wont drown the roots

 

well its not really that big of a deal but i would do it.
of corse if it gets in a bigger acctual pot u need holes

 

Theres a sub section in the Hydro forum just for coco growing.

 

Don't worry about drain holes in the dixie cup. It's not needed at all. You don't even need run off with coco. That's why I said don't listen to soil growers. The rules are not the same at all. Once you transplant it's a good idea to have drain holes for the occasional flush. For normal waterings/feedings though you don't need run off. I run zero run off in my coco grows. I will do a slight flush about once a month just to clear out any built up salts to be on the safe side, but other than that I don't have run off ever. The guy at the hydro store knew what he was talking about.
