Awesome mate! I will give it a shot. When you say straight ph...do you mean NO ph adjustment from tap OR ph to 6.0? Cheers manI’d half your nute strength and feed multiple times a day , also try straight ph waterings
Try feed , water water feed at 5 times a day I’d possible and use half strength what your nute line says.
Ah brilliant thank you so much!Start at about 0.8 EC and work up to 1.6 EC as they grow.
These will help you understand media in general and coco specifically.
Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it
Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...www.thcfarmer.com
HOW TO WATER COCO FOR BEST RESULTS.
Ok writing this cause i see this issue often and rather have a thread to link than explain this each time. This is not my work but a collection of info from many members here and I have put into practice myself. So first off COCO is NOT soil. For best results we want to keep it saturated...www.thcfarmer.com
WOW! nice. Yeah i think ive got no option to either cut strength of feed dramatically BUT im also scared of not "Juicing" them enough during flower so i get a horrible, Airy, low yield. Trouble is mills recommends an E.C inflow of 2.2 at this stage of flower and i know not to take what they say as gospel but if i dont feed em enough how are they going to grow into BIG flowers....suppose its a balancing act thats only going to come with time and experience.Alot of people don't even check the run off, try using maxibloom at a EC 1.0 going in and in veg PH 5.8 in flowering bump it up a little if you want to 1.3 EC and PH 6.0 to 6.2 and forget about checking runoff, if plants look good don't worry about it. Run off can have you chasing things all the time. The important thing is what you are putting in and that is all you need to worry about. Keep it easy. Also master blend 3 parts works very good too. Here's a plant that was 61 days from seed a auto feed calmagic and maxibloom was it.
The feed feed feed has to do with runoff. Ppm wise i find max needed is 1.2-1.6 EC depending on the genetics and environment which is different for every grow.Hey guys just a quick update.....
I flushed the medium to rid of any salts or exessive nutrient build up then kept my E.C inflow at 1.2 for the past week. Its safe to say they are finally co-operating now and the highest the run off E.C is coming out is 1.4 with 3 feeds daily.
9AM - 2l
2PM - 1l
6PM - 1l
Total of 4L daily split between 3 feeds at light strength seems to be the sweet spot.
Because of all the bullsh*t out there of FEED FEED FEED i think its more than likely that most people OVERFEED their crops rather than UNDERFEED causing this exact issue, with the added pressure from most hydro shops coaxing people to over-use the nutes so you will buy more frequently. at the end of the day the plant will take in what it needs and that it. Any residual causes problems.
New feeding schedule....
Per 20L.....Tap water is 0.3 E.C,
1ML - vitalise
10ML - calmag
20ML - A
20ML - B
40ML C4
30ML ULTIMATE PK
TOTAL = 1.2 E.C
For anyone whos interested or having the same issue lowering nutrient strength and frequent lighter feedings has definitely fixed this particular issue. Thanks so much to the guys that helped me on this one. Very much appreciated.

Yeah mate worked a treat! Thank you so much. Now hopefully my girls can sit comfortably ready for packing size and weightPERFECT GOOD TO SEE IT WORKED FOR YOU
Ah fab! Thanks for all the help and top advice guysThe feed feed feed has to do with runoff. Ppm wise i find max needed is 1.2-1.6 EC depending on the genetics and environment which is different for every grow.
Bot sure if i linked this before .

Im thinking about autopots for my next grow but with eratic E.C's im a little unsure if this is a good idea as with auto pots there is NO run off which "in my head" will make things ALOT worse with no way of pushing salts and excess nutes out the pot. Sorry for the rambling on guys im just trying to put asmuch info in as i can.
I'm using Autopots in coco/perlite with MegaCrop nutes for veg and Kelp4less bloom pack for flower. I leave the plants in the autopots over night and have been putting them outside with no water during the day. On strong weather days they stay in with the plant just picked up and twisted to be out of the water which is easy with square pots. The main water line needs to be turned off and disconnected before the plants are lifted. The plants dry out during the day then get a drink with what I choose to feed. By early afternoon the pots are very light so they feed well. With 3 plants in the tent (4x4) it's easy to take care of. With a large grow it would be a PIA.
I'm sure the E.C.'s are erratic but the plants grow well. The first photo shows main water line disconnected at the bottom of the pic after valve was turned off. Plant turned and sitting out of water/ nutes. Second is the ladies (week 2-3 of flower) sitting out enjoying part of an overcast day. Obligatory bird poop on outside plant leave included :-) (sort of like Where's Waldo game... where's the poop?) .

Yeah mate im with you on that one! Ive been told countless times that im severely under feeding my girls with 1.2EC being the highest i can possibly go and thats still causing build up so i still need to "Mini flush" weekly with a lil calmag and ph 6.0 to reset the meduim for the following week ahead as EC rises my medium PH becomes very acidic dropping as low as 4.5! Tbh im really not enjoying using coco i have considered soil but i have been told that yeilds do suffer compared to coco or DWC.Yeah i dont like auto pots as you cant flush out the salt buildup you would get if the plants arev sucking it back up into the pot..top feed is the best way.im still quite fresh at growing indoors and im finding it very easy as my enviroment and light used run very well .its very stable..and plants loooove stable.they dont like sharp increases in feed ..i feed once a day.and i feed light strength.keeping it simple phing 5.86 to 5.95. When i increase feed i do it very slowly .i veg for 5 weeks and ppm is at 500 at begining of flower and will peak at 580ppm ..my enviroment and canna nutes used work very well at this ppm..guys might think im under feeding but my yields tell another story..
