what are you feeding your plants and at what rate? watering practices? temps/rh? light distance?
Are you using just that one light?
It’s so true, and I didn’t realize how different it is growing in soilless mediums. Are you saying I don’t need to worry about over watering? How often would you give nutrients?I use coco coir and pro mix HP mixed at 50 50 and had no problems. I think your problem is your watering like its soil. you can feed these 2-3 times a day. Also you do need a cal mag mixed with your nutes on every feeding. As far as feeding (watering) with coco you should have some run off every time. There is a good read on here on how to grow in coco. Good luck my friend.
Interesting thanks! Maybe I’ll try that with a couple. Any suggestions on lowering pH?
It’s prolly the coco you added ? Did you treat or wash it?Interesting thanks! Maybe I’ll try that with a couple. Any suggestions on lowering pH?
How do you test PPM?The bicarbonate level in your presumed tap water can be the source of the problem here. If your bicarbonate is too high, you can properly pH your water from 5.5-6.0 and still run into rising pH issues over time. What is the PPM of your presumed tap water.
It was pre washed Canna CocoIt’s prolly the coco you added ? Did you treat or wash it?
As far as ole boy up there running 50/50 it’s only his 1st or 2nd grow I bet it is not as smooth as he says buts that’s my experience and opinion .
promix is very easy and forgiving in my opinion
I'd first check for a water report from your municipality. If you can't get one you'd have to have a tap water analysis done. I totally recommend it. It's not very expensive.How do you test PPM?
Once I have that, is there a chart or anything explaining healthy ranges?I'd first check for a water report from your municipality. If you can't get one you'd have to have a tap water analysis done. I totally recommend it. It's not very expensive.
I'm not sure if there's a chart but If you post the results, I'm sure folks will point you in the right direction.Once I have that, is there a chart or anything explaining healthy ranges?
buy a ppm/EC meter for $25. It's also useful for checking solution strength. If your tap water is higher than 200ppm, it can cause rising pH problems. However a ppm/EC meter doesn't tell you the bicarbonate level. That is the most important number to know. Bicarbonate can be estimated by your total ppm. A water report can also determine the bicarbonate level.How do you test PPM?
