HOW TO WATER COCO FOR BEST RESULTS.

[yobbocrack]

i got out the scissors today there's about 10 days left for veg, i have done a lot faster grow from seed than this grow but humidity has been low in warm conditions it does slow growth with low humidity i got the humidifier it does compensate a bit.

EC in 1.2
EC out 1.1

You need to start a diary buddy instead filling aquas thread up with your posts 👍

Great thread @Aqua Man read it a few times and I think I'm just starting to get to grips with it all lol. One issue I'm having is I can't seem to saturate my Coco to 60% (my sensor only goes to 70%) any ideas? I'm in 1 gal pots. I dumped about 2500ml of feed over them and most they go to is 20%

Not sure what sensor your using…. need a few hrs but to elaborate but if your fetting the runoff of 10-20% (so basically 250ml in you want to see about 25-50ml run out of the bottom) if you get less you need to add a watering

Im using a IBEBOT SOIL QUALITY sensor. I'm getting about 30% run off currently

Is calmag neesed when growing in coco or only if you are using ro or have soft tap water.. thought be gopd to aso this question in here as im guessing most people are growing in coco that comment in here.

Aqua what do u use to avoid pest or flys with the coco coir at 100% of humidity all time?

'Mosquito bits' work specifically well for gnats, because they're part of the mosquito clan.

I do use it .but not all the time.more in veg than flower.my water is 10ppm and using canna classic base nutrients as you know.is there any cal mag in your nutrients ..

Same here. I use it every now an then havent used it yet four weeks into veg and had few brown spots appear now.

Hmm🧐 ive never had that yet …I’m at 3weeks and giving them 50-60 ppm on top of 310 of a+b Vega the last 2 days .I had light colouration between the veins so I decided to give them some.just about gone now so I will drop it back to 30ppm every couple of days… Hardly gave them any first couple weeks..

Strain dependant aswell i think. Last grow of oreoz fed no calmag at all was fine all way through

Your onto it 👍

How long is it safe to go without a runoff? I feed once a day and sometimes there no runoff and I only notice the next day when feeding again. How harmful is 48h without a runoff every now and then?

You’ll have salts build up and cause problems, you should have run off every time you feed/water them

You can get an idea by the runoff numbers… meaning PH and EC. They should be ideally 0.2 PH of input and ppm should be withing about 20%.… meaning say 1000ppm in should be 800-1200 ppm out. Rough guidelines not a rule
