i still use top booster, cuz as u said its cheap and i don't use very much so it lasts long.

I thought buxxl had some shit that converts surgars or moves them or something? can't remember why i think this or where i read it tho, so i could jus be high...

Yes, that's what it does . I had to look at the bottle . I thought it was a P and K booster but I was wrong.

Your correct, but you can't not use it, like using gh 3part without using the bloom

I need to look at some Canna Coco Forums 2, a lot of my friends use it getting under current yields. I've been doing pro-mix bx and H&G. We will find out in about 3 months, the clones are just starting to root that I'm going to try in Coco.

I just use the big bricks of the cheap coco coir. I flush them in the tub and check my ppm with a TDS meter till it matches the tap ppm. Then I flush it with 5.5 PH water with 5mls of Cal/Mag. It's more work but anything to stretch my dollar.

Both multizyme and BudXL use enzymes. They both do different things but both are enzymes.

That's good to know, never used coco before but I have a spot to put them in so might as well fill it up.

I can't do Hydro. I always screw it up. I started in hydro, then I went to soil. Soil was messy and slow. It was hard to correct deficiencies in soil. I have been in love with Coco since day 1! One thing with coco is that you need extra Cal/Mag. If your ruining coco and RO, you need that extra 5mls of Cal/Mag. OGs definitely use more magnesium.

Red stems or streaks for the most part mean something is wrong. It's usually, P,K, or magnesium. Most likely P and K PH is off. With Mag, it usually needs more.

I started in DWC hydro, but my results were never consistent. Probably cuz my buddy from Cali was teaching me over the phone. when I switch to House and Pro-Mix with airpots I started to rock it. Now Im on the 2nd floor so I don't feel like carrying the dirt up and down the stairs.
I'm thinking of top feeding 1-2 gal pots in coco on a tray and smart pots to see which one works better for me.

I concur @nightmarecreature bout the coco and cal mag, i add 2-3ml per gal. I was wondering do u cut cal mag out in flower or taper down? if u do cut it out what week?

Check out my GR33N ROOM 2 thread... Just finished my first run in pure canna beds and it was fucking unbelievable!!! Used H&G Coco w/ drip clean and some Sea Green here and there, nothing special.

I run it till week 6/7, I found since i increased my lights to 1k's the plants have been bigger and using more nutes. I have been having a nasty MG def since then.
I had a real nice Aqua Flakes top feed run last winter. Only dabble with hydro in the winter to keep water temps down till I got a chiller. Now I'm going to be running that full bore.

why switch from airpots to smart pots to run coco, save urself the money and run ur air pots, I do;), or i should say i am this round( i usually run coco beds). if u do run airpots and coco u need to pack the top edges of coco down (press firmly against the rim with coco at least 3 holes down. I also create a "burm" if u will so the feed can pool up. DO NOT fill the airpots to the top with coco and level off or u will have feed leaking out the holes or off the top lip. jus my 2cents.

Nice inspiration right there. I'd like to veg in the same room but it will knock out a room for that whole period. I'd need a 3rd flower room to do that or move my moms and clones out of the veg room and make that the 3rd room.

My buddy was saying the coco might dry out too quick or flow out the sides when i water them. I have a brick of coco, i can see if it actually happens first hand

I run Cal/Mag up to the last week. I have some 7 week finishers and some 10 week finishers.

I never liked air pots. Mixing perlite with coco adds plenty of oxygen for me. You get fast growth getting more oxygen to your roots, I just hate having to water more often so I use pure coco.
