If you are using coco, the nutrients water should not sit on top of rootball for 45 min. What nutrients are you using. Coco should absorb quicker than peat. @mulehunter
Pickin up some canazyme in the am .That coco mix should drain well. Not sure why water stands on the top for 45 min.
hatim almost done with my first coco run, straight canna. i find it needs to be watered just a little less than my 2 runs with ffof. i will deff be adding 25-30% perlite next time id like to hand water daily or maybe only 1 or 2 dry days a week, with the pure canna its only 2/3 times a week that i get to water. besides some early cal-mag problems id say coco is easier than i had thought it would be
are you letting your coco dry out???if so then I can see the solution just sitting on top......coco should be watered constantly like I water 2 times a day to 15-20% run off....at 100% saturation rate coco still holds about 30% oxygen....which means that you could literally run solution through all day and never have a problem
I have used pure coco and many ratio's there of including peat and have never had a problem with standing water or drainage
Just my experience
that is exactly what I am sayingWisher619 are you saying we should not let the coco dry out before watering? You mean it should be always kept wet?
