Hello to everyone at the farm. I am new here but have run a few outdoor grows. For my first indoor run i want to use a coco/perlite mix because of the benefits over soil.This next run i want to try a 50/50 coco/perlite mix. I will be starting them off under a 400w MH and adding another 400w HPS at the beginning of flowering.Here is my take on this way of growing.plz fix my mistakes, fill in the gaps and give your advice ! The strains i plan to run are Strawberry Dog and Uk Cheese x Highland Nepalese. Not to shure if I'm going to bud em, look for moms, or make a shit load of seeds. Either way its going to be fun!
-flush coco and adjust ph to 5.8(should i use some final flush?)
-allow to dry out
-add perlite and adjust ph to 5.8
-allow to dry out
-put you little sprouts into coco/perlit mix in 4L pots (wet soil first with bottled water 5.8 ph)
-ph can drift from 5.5 to 6.3
-what is the max the ph can change bettween each watering?
-if i water with 5.8ph should the run of be 5.8?
-I plan is to water my plants once per day right when lights come on. I will be hand watering.
-how much water do you think a
-seedling
-veging
-flowering plant
will need per day?
-does growing like this make your plants sensitive to nutes like hydroponics( you should on use half what the bottle says to)?
-can the fox farm line be used with this system?
-should i use bottle water or my house water( private well in southern Canada. No RO or any kind of filter other than a dirt one on the pump. so its straight water from the well, best tasting water I've ever drank lol)
-temp i know i can maintain i my grow room 72.5-77-night 60-67
-humidity i know i can maintain in my grow room 40-50%
-is chunky or fine coco preferred in this type of grow.
Here are the two kinds of coco i can get locally, with one would be better?
