IME, as long as that feed/water has a place to go, you're right, it's about impossible to overwater coco.My first run was up in Oakland so I know what you're sayin about the natural AC.
I kept my ph at 5.6 to 5.8 and I used House and Gardens Drip Clean. I fed really heavy and only flushed once a week. I fed my girls a half gallon a day for 6 days and flushed with a gallon and a half on the seventh. The coco seems to dry out pretty quickly so I like to give them a little each day. I think it's pretty much impossible to "overwater" in Coco but I could be wrong about that. I just never saw any signs of it.

I met the fellow who makes RO at an event last year. If I didn't have all of this Botanicare left, I'd give him some of the business. If I see him again this November I'll mention I'm reading really good things about his product.
Frosty, I have a PWC RO/DI unit, I am happy with its performance.
Couple questions for ya.
1. Are you using Reverse Osmosis?
2. What ph levels are you bringing your water to?
3. How are you cooling the tent?
I used Roots Coco for my last run and have all my Mom plants in it. Personally I LOVE the stuff. Good water retention and flushes really good. On my last indoor run I was not adding cal/mag at first and my girls got deficient. As soon as I added the cal/mag they bounced back quick. The coco tends to suck up cal and mag and you have to add it to the mix to make it available to the plants.
I'm along for the ride on this one. I will be doing a small set up like this soon to flower out some Blackwater that I have germinating right now. If I can be of any assistance please feel free to PM me bro!
Damn that's a sick deal!
W/ proper vent. for that 1000w and you'll kicking ass and takin names frosted!
When using Coco do NOT let it dry out at all. I water mine 3 times a day with 10% run off. I use straight Coco, No perlite or anything else.
If you let it dry out you will see plenty nutrient lockout. The PH gets messed up in Coco when it drys
Yeah I would go back and ask for the soilless coco mix. They should hook you up. The roots soil is awesome stuff, but you have to nute, nute, flush otherwise you will get overdosed and locked out. One of the benefits to soil is that you don't have to water as much.......but you can't feed as heavy and it's easy to overwater.
You're just now getting a ph and ppm pen? Those were some of the first things. Ph is super important. You have to stay within a specified range otherwise nutrients are not available for uptake.
Also with the size of your plants you may be feeding them too heavy. Thats where the ppm meter comes into play.
This is what I did.......worked like a charm. I watered everyday once I got into flower with just a little bit of runoff and flushed once a week.
We were farming hard........The first watering came from sweat alone.........LOL
