1. No i feed then water just depends on my ec run offHi farmers! ,
I'm new to thcfarmer but not new to growing this will be my first time in coco though and have done quite a bit of research on it which all I here is positive things about it but I still have a couple questions about it for ya coco growers I'm going to be running house and gardens full coco line with additives with their coco medium.
1. I have read that you must feed with nutes every time you water and you never should water with just pure tap water is this true?
2. I have choose to do 10 gal smartpots and decided I'll do a 80/20 mix with coco and rice hulls when I do final transplant into the 10 gals from 5 gals you think thats a good choice?
3. Should I even use cal/mag with coco like I did in soil with the H&G line of nutes?
4. Will I be ok without a drip or wick system and just have to water by hand? I don't think I'll be able to afford to setup a system like that this time around
5. And finally when I buy my clones if they don't come in coco and come in soil is it ok to transplant them from soil to coco when they have enough root mass or will the different pH levels etc. Cause me problems?
Thanks ! And I'll most likely be making a grow journal for ya guys so keep and eye out for it as I'll most likely have many more questions a for ya farmers:)
Thanks for the reply lollipop but yes I am growing trees and you did answer alot of my questions the reason I am choosing such large pots is because I need some big weight I got a 10x10 tent with 4 sections 3 of the sections are 1000watts and one 600 watts each section will have 2 ladies each in 10 gal pots I am scrogging these ladies too with about a 3x3 area with 1ft tall sides all the way around. Do you use cal/mag with what you run?1. No i feed then water just depends on my ec run off
2. Depends if your growing trees, 5gal coco pots is big enought for most growers.
3.cant help ya never used h&g
4. Yes I water by hand and have feed lines to a pump. plus I think you should do it by hand till you get the hang of coco.
5.ive been gifted clones that was in soil and went straight into a coco smart pot with no problems.
Hope this helps
Wow. No not able to even come close to that size in soil......I veg in 1gal then into 4x4 coco beds, I also veg in solo cups. This is my banana pebbles 6 week veg in a coco solo. Not sure you could do this in a soil. 27" tall View attachment 472153

Sweeet that's exactly what I was thinking just needed some experienced coco growers to back up my thoughts lol but thanks again for the replies guys! Feel free to give me any more tips and tricks you guys might have for me I'm open to anything (:lmao good veg pic in the solo cup.. and with that much light 10 gal would be perfect.. just let it veg long enough so you can get enough medicine for all the medium used.. it will be worth it. i promise, lol.
Define "slurry?"I always do a slurry test of the coco before transplanting. Salty coco or undercharged coco can be a problem.
Ohhh coool never thought of doing that but sounds like a great idea to make sure everything is copacetic in the coir I will definitely do that before I transplant for now onSlurry test is when you take say 2 oz of your coco and 2 oz of RO water and mix them in a clean cup for a couple minutes and then check the PH and EC(PPM).
