Yeah I just read from the beginning that he’s not using soil. My bad
Yeah I just read from the beginning that he’s not using soil. My badActually in coco soil water ph is more important since coco reacts different from traditional peat base soils. Soil PH is important but coco loco is pre buffered so as long the feeds stay with in 5.8-6.3 the soil PH “should” stay close on run off tests.
Wow that’s impressive. Looks like I’ll have to convince the old lady toI have a 2x4 tent and with 2 auto's after 6 and a half weeks they have filled the tent up. Also 1200 ppm is way to high for seedlings I'm only feeding mine in coco loco 650ppm.

Plants looking nice man. How can I get the ppm down I have well water with the water softener. But I get water straight from well lower ppm and ph. Boiling? Dilution with a couple gallons of RO water.? Any adviceI have a 2x4 tent and with 2 auto's after 6 and a half weeks they have filled the tent up.

Yeah I’m in coco, I’ve been using water ph’ed to 6.1 for the seedling. Plan on checking run off soon. Just haven’t watered that heavy as of now.Yeah I just read from the beginning that he’s not using soil. My badyeah everything else besides soil needs to be ph’d first and check run off.
I agree, this is my first grow in coco loco and auto's and have been measuring the pH and ppm run off andNice little rule of thumb told to me long ago, autos never go over 600ppm it becomes a waste of nutes
Flush with ro water, or if your well water is a low ppm use it. You can also buy distilled water. But put enough water thru to have it run out. I feed when my plants water run off ppm is lower. I'm still learning coco loco so this is a trial and error thing. My last run off was 400 and i fed them 650 ppm and that took them to high 800 run off. To fix all I do is not feed them for x number of waterings and when the ppm goes low I feed. Not sure if that is correct but it's working for me.Wow that’s impressive.

Thank you, definitely gonna check it out nowOh I’ll grow anything, photo auto random don’t matter I’ll get it too work for the most part lol also if your into some good in depth reading, @Aqua Man has some of the most and best detailed info on coco
So you monitor the ph and ppm of the RUNOFF. And flush as needed correct?I agree, this is my first grow in coco loco and auto's and have been measuring the pH and ppm run off and

And my nutes are.
Gn flora series, cal-mag, silica, hydroguard.
For flowering I'm using Lucas formula.
1 part silica wait 20 mins
1 part cal mag
1 part micro
0 part grow
1 part flower
1 part hydroguard
Good luck and remember document your grow.
Yes every run off and not really a flush just water it and check the run off to see if it needs nutes the next watering. But at 1200 I would pour thru a lot to get the ppm down.So you monitor the ph and ppm of the RUNOFF. And flush as needed correct?
For bigger yield you LST and SCROG.Day 15 since sprout
Added no nutes yet accept micro doses of the
Silica, cal-mag,Micro,grow,bloom
Recently tested runoff all were around 1800 and 6.3ph flushed them down to 1200 plan on doing another light flush since it just starting 3wk veg.
Strange thing is I’ve been reading about the optimal ranges for ph and ppm and EC in coco coir/ loco and the two plants that were bigger and looked healthier were around 2000 ppm and ph runoff was 6.5… but this just a update and some pictures
And if anyone has some advice on getting a bigger yield, more trichome production and tips for late veg stage I’d appreciate it. or a good thread for defoliation vs non-defoliation and lolipopping vs non-lollipopingvice versa
I’m going to order a trellis SoonFor bigger yield you LST and SCROG.
That’s true because there’s not much recovery time with them. I will say though with the right setup u could start in solo cups and then Switch over to your permanent home. If you do it within a week or twoI understand, that makes sense. from what I’ve read and seen it supposed to be beneficial for autos to grow in 1 pot and not be transplanted. I guess no better teacher than experience right. I’m seeing that a lot of people have opinions and their own experiences. That where it gets a little confusing for me. I’m just going to keep it simple and not overdue it. And deal with problems as they arise if any. More than 1 way to skin a cat.
I seen your grow man! the plants are looking nice! Awesome job. How many weeks?
Are they flowering yet?
