FEEDING SCHEDULE HELP
Hey everyone, I’m going to go straight to the point as I am so exhausted with trial and error , online searches , etc.
BEFORE YOU READ- please understand this is a commercial grow. A poorly operated one to say the least. We have100+ lights. Lots of space.
STATS: we use 20 gal containers , indoors , 70/30 coco to perlite mixture. Double ended Gavita HPS. Average temp 78-82F ,
avg rH 45-55, mills nutrient line , PPM7 during veg 600-1100 , flower 1100-1800 PPM7
FEEDSCHEDULE: once a daywhen Lights turn on, 2 gals at a time, no runoff.
• once a week mega feeding, means irrigation with added enzymes and microbes
• 2-3 normal schedule feeding (mills chart)
• water at the end of the week
There is usually one day in between feeds that we do not feed and instead let it dry out, so that gives us usually between 3-4 feeds a week
My question is this —>continue this route ? Or lower ppm and feed half strength but daily.
Salt build up, weird growth , some leaf burn here and there. I’ve been taught by my superior this way of feeding in coco and I cannot help but think we are doing it wrong. Everywhere online says smaller feeds more frequently (which we cannot do as boss won’t accept automatic feed systems) so we have to manually feed and only have the option to do so once a day. I’m also not sure that 20 gal is the way to go in coco. I think that we should go smaller containers , feed more often , and feed weaker nute solution. I’m so confused about coco coir it’s driving me insane....
if there are any knowledgeable people in here with coco coir and commercial settings. I’m willing to set up a video call andeven pay you 50$USD an hour. if you are the correct candidate.
I’m not sure if I’m breaking any forum rules since I’m new, sorry about that.
Whatever information you need regarding the specs I’ll be more than happy to supply you that information to help Better understand the situation.
