I have perlite on order
I have perlite on orderOk so here is my suggestion but forst you need to remember that coco is not soil.
For 2gal and up i would add some perlite 30% for 3 gal just future reference.
Now coco should not dry not even the top of it. In a 3 gal pot you want to be feeding 600ml of nutrient solution (600-700ppm is fine)
Of that 600ml you want to see 60-120ml come out as runoff. If your not getting that much run off from600ml then you need to feed more often.
Ph from 5.8-6 2 to feed
Its imperative that you understand coco is not soil i cant stress it enough.
You thought that I don’t know that coco coir is the outside hull of a coconut? It’s a hydroponic medium. I’ve stated I’ve done my research. People who treat coco like soil run into nute problems because you have to constantly water to wash off the nutrients it clings on to. I don’t go near the stuff.

Rudeeralis grows naturally all over, from China, to Europe, to Minnesota.Idk if it classed as ditch weed lol it just what’s grows in northern China kind of area and because of time span cycles being different it’s in their genetics. Their are some really nice auto strains from the right breeders that’s worth the bang for the buck but the fem version will be stronger.
I have gone from 5.6 ph early veg to around 5.8 late veg early flower. Later flower ill hit up to 6.2.I have perlite on orderAlso do I keep the ppm the same throughout the whole grow or up it in flower? I’m currently at 5.8ph thanks for the advice
Could have sworn originally it was wild plants in the Central Asia Russia area but I could be wrongRudeeralis grows naturally all over, from China, to Europe, to Minnesota.

Hmmm i don't remember saying or insinuating that you don't know coco. And its not about washing nutrients it holds onto its about consistent feeding and maintaining ppm and ph values that are stable and consistent. the CEC of coco is is much lower than soil it doesn't hold onto nutrients like soil at all. Almost all coco is prebuffered these days.You thought that I don’t know that coco coir is the outside hull of a coconut? It’s a hydroponic medium. I’ve stated I’ve done my research.

This is a man you want to talk to about coco. ^^^^Then why are you giving advice on a coco grow?
Don’t worry I’m the one you don’t want coco advice from lol and I won’t be given any even though I got a coco grow going you wanna listen to aquaThen why are you giving advice on a coco grow?
I did not mean to get pulled into a coco thread. I’m new to this app, and some guy asked me a question, after further review I saw it was from a coco thread. My bad playa.This is a man you want to talk to about coco. ^^^^
@Enforcer has been an amazing coco grower for a long time.... he can teach me a few things and hasDon’t worry I’m the one you don’t want coco advice from lol and I won’t be given any even though I got a coco grow going you wanna listen to aqua
I’m new to this app. A coco guy asked me a question because he saw my plant, and I answered it without looking into the fact that he was growing coco.Then why are you giving advice on a coco grow?
It’s all good bro. I appreciate your willingness to give advice. I just know that grow style specific advice is important to success and I didn’t want to confuse the OP. ✌I’m new to this app. A coco guy asked me a question because he saw my plant, and I answered it without looking into the fact that he was growing coco.
The very top of my coco gets dry after a few hours because I have negative pressure with two open tent vents and a fan spinning the air in my tent.Ok so here is my suggestion but forst you need to remember that coco is not soil.

Not sure what your saying... sure you can let it dry, feed it every few days etc etc. But if ya want the most out of it then you wanna do it the way I posted. I have to water mine 8x a day right now to keep them saturated. Granted I'm not growing like most do with coco. As they are in 1 gal pots.The very top of my coco gets dry after a few hours because I have negative pressure with two open tent vents and a fan spinning the air in my tent.
I've been wanting a drip set up but don't have the luxury atm. Mine do great letting them dry a bit b4 watering again. I water when they are still moist but the pot feels lighter. I've hand watered coco the same way for almost a decade. Guess I'm long overdue for a dtw drip system.Not sure what your saying... sure you can let it dry, feed it every few days etc etc. But if ya want the most out of it then you wanna do it the way I posted.

I mean its not a must but it helps... so does using a bit bigger pots. If I was in 3 gal I probably need to water around 2-3 times a day. It's definitely not a must to keep it 90%-100% saturation but likely will faster growth with less issues related to ph, ppm and nutrient ratios.I've been wanting a drip set up but don't have the luxury atm.

@Aqua Man I am having trouble getting any run off what so ever. Every time I feed no matter how much goes into the bucket nothing comes out. Do you think it might have something to do with my set up. I have them on an auto feed system that comes on 3 times a day for 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes the return pump goes on and returns everything to the res. How do I get run off?I have gone from 5.6 ph early veg to around 5.8 late veg early flower. Later flower ill hit up to 6.2.
Ppm i start at 400 and work up typically you would max out about 800. I run co2 and I'm in small 1 gal pots so I'm feeding 1000ppm 8 times a day right now. But my grow is different.
Always feed 5% of the pot size as of ten as needed to get 10-20% runoff and everything should be good there.
Should I drill some holes in the bottom bucket to allow some of the water to run off?@Aqua Man I am having trouble getting any run off what so ever.
