Hey everyone Over the last year or so alot of people have sent me pm's and asked in the threads the schedule I feed my plants at and exactly what I do so I thought I post this super simple method up for those that want to try it or may wanna switch to coco in the future . First I do feed sooner then most people do and that part is kinda up to you because it can be risky but I do it because it works for me and may not be right for everyone . Ok so when the plants pop out of the coco and need the first watering I water with plain R/O water at a ph of 5.8 to 6.0 and my two watering's after I do the same ph but add 1ml of Canna A+B per gallon and water until runoff and every third watering is plain R/O water at the same ph to runoff to keep salts from building up . Now we should be around our second week and this is when we go up to 2ml per gallon of A+B with the same ph until runoff and do this for two waterings in a row and then the third one with plain R/O water with the same ph until Runoff . Now we should be at the end of week two and this is when we bump up to 5 ml of A+B per gallon and things really start to take off and at this point everything should have a deep green look to it and you may start to notice a slight mag def and when this happens I start with a very low dose of Cal-Mag say around 2 to 3 ml per gallon and within a few dayz things start to turn around but I've only ran into this once or twice depending on the strain but sometimes it takes a bit more Cal-Mag but I always say start low and work your way up to stay safe .Coming into week four I try to max out at 7 to 10 ml of A+B and more of the 7 ml range and never go higher then 10ml per gallon through my whole grow . I also know some of you use Rhizotonic and Cannazyme and when I use these I go at 50% of what Canna recommends and always remember that every third watering is with plain R/o water with a ph of 5.8 to 6.o until runoff so we can keep them salts from building up . I hope this helps and like I said I keep it simple and try to make my grows from seed so just about anyone can get the genetics I grow and have the same results I have . The main thing is to learn to read your plants over time and soon they will tell you what they like and dislike kinda like your children .

Sorry I'm not that great at explaining things but I'll come back later and post how I use my Canna nutes in flower and if anyone has any advice feel free to add it

Excellent post zoo! I have followed this to the T somewhat and have had excellent results so far. I dont think it gets any simpler and more effective than this folks!

Thanx guy's and I'll post up everything I use in flower soon and I do use boost in flower and I know it cost alot but I do think it works well and I'm tellin you just keep it simple and it makes life so easy and I'm sure we all got alot to worry about in our lives outside of growing so this makes it smooth

I find ph5.7 through out the grow is perfect for coco, zoolander do you have any advice on mixing coco with bat guano or worm castings?? and is perlite ok

sorry for all the question but i only been growing with coco under a year i think but everything has been perfect as use to grow with bubblesr and nft's and i have all my digital ph & ec truncheaons

[Zoolander]
