Hello everyone,
I'm using a coco mix for the first time and am having over watering problems. It's straight coco with no perlite and on my first watering I over watered a couple of plants. Although the new growth looks fine so I think they will be ok, i'm not sure if I need to get some perlite in there as I think the plants are getting water logged. I left them to dry really well but noticed when I watered one plant today I got no run off at all so wasn't able to test ph level and didn't want to put more through due to the original over watering. I have been growing indoor for over a year now and would class my results as average, mostly due to the enormous amount of information out there half of which doesn't make any sense!
Here's a brief outline of what i'm doing, any thoughts from other growers would be greatly appreciated as i've found it quite a struggle to get over the line with my indoor growing!
Strains: 3x Ray's Choice - Kiwi Seeds 2x 2 Pounder - Kiwi Seeds
Environment: 4x4 grow tent, 600w HPS, 6" extractor/carbon filter
The plants are in 10ltr pots, I water the plants dependent on individual needs (dryness of coco/weight of pots). I start by flushing straight water through (2-3 ltrs), I then test ph levels with run off and then put another ltr through with the feed. The plants are into their 3rd week of veg.
Many thanks
