Why the move away from MPB?
I am gonna run JK's tanks soon and too much RDWC is too much headache for me. Gonna keep the RDWC to just one system in my life.
well it sounds like your giving just water a few days a week to the coco and I have always read plain water is a nono in coco.if these are on the same feed program the peat should blow the coco out the water imo.i found the
botanicare stuff all needs a thorough rinse or its slow on seeds n veggers.im running house n garden coco right out the bag and the stuff is the whip.but im a peat grower.can you give us more info on the feed strengths of each and what the strength was on the precharge of the coco?
The plants started in chow. all of them. They were transplanted to 28 gallon trashcans from 16oz dixie cups. they are under 600w. (12 plants under 6, 600's).
The peat plants are killing the coco. I do not see how the coco will catch up. Only time will tell.
They are being fed the same. 3 grams/gal of jr peters 5-12-26, 2 grams/ gal CaNO3, and 1 gram/ gal epsom. That will change soon though when I move to analogs formula and all raw salts next week with these.
I just went over dankworths my thread can beat up your thread thread and a user dizzlekush who I feel really knows his shit is in there talking about how peat is much better than coco. Also, YosemiteSam has moved back to peat.
Peat has a higher CEC (cation exchange capacity). I am pretty sure that commercial ag growers also use much more peat than they do coco. I'll have to look in to it more now that I am using it.
I also just planted up the MPB with peat/perlite/EWC combo and I ran that strain a solid year in the MPB so I will be able to tell the difference and so far it's already looking good. No stalling since they were moved. Lots of new growth. I hit them with a dose of nute pack, root pack, a handful of pyrophyllite clay, and a handful of alfalfa. These are being fed analogs formula from the get go.
