    HOW TO WATER COCO FOR BEST RESULTS.

    good info. I have been running straight coco for a few years. Always learning. I have also struggled big time from watering too much early on. I think the bricks I am using become more water logged than some. I am prolly switching to canna next round. Tired of buffering issues, and...

    Yeah, I think you are right about the fines in the coco. I have had decent success with the cocogro bricks, but when I think about it, it does have a fair amount of dust. Good point. I am totally coming to the same conclusion about the bricks/vs quality bagged coco

    I think canna would likely be the safest bet. I love the bricks for price, transport/delivery reasons. Don't really love hydrating them. I would assume quality pre expanded coco like canna does not need to be precharged? Another issue about precharging in my opinion is the fact that after...

    Thanks for the breakdown on cec. I do know this, but it actually helped to read through the details again. The iron is something I wasn't considering, and I always get a couple plants that just bleach out and look like a severe iron def. It is a strange one tho, because everything else will...

    I can't tell you exactly what the problem was with the generators. They were working correctly, and yes I checked the burning. I believe I was fighting issues caused by the burners for well over a year until I figured it out. I was having weird issues that just didn't make sense. I felt like...

    I use 1000w gavita de in flower. I do take leaf temp. Thanks for the input.

    JACKS BACK!!! Capulators new formulas.

    I've been seeing better results lately trying to stay close to vpd, basically keeping humidity as high as I'm comfortable with until late flower. I did better with this vs sealed room with c02 (which made the vpd thing nearly impossible because of the higher temps). That, along with the fact...

    JACKS BACK!!! Capulators new formulas.

    Thanks for replying. I think that's where I'm a little confused. To my understanding, the way I'm currently mixing for most of the run is how I should mix with new Coco to buffer it. It's just that after the first few weeks of veg I've tried lowering cal, and things seem to go south. How...

    JACKS BACK!!! Capulators new formulas.

    Thanks for the info. We just tried the perlite in the bottom to stop fungus gnats from crawling in the holes in the pot, and I thought it might help some with drainage. I'm not using c02, but was until recently. That being said, I hear you about the ec, but the plants seem underfed when I go...

    JACKS BACK!!! Capulators new formulas.

    I have been tinkering with Jack's formulas in my 50 light room for years now. I have had some really good results (2.5 to 3 lbs per 1000w gavita de). That being said, I'm constantly frustrated because for me the recommended recipe 3.6-2.4-1.1 is often problematic. Let me just lay out what I've...
