@Tempy
keep doing what you are doing now
coco dosnt need any additional Ca
your nutrients are coco specific so it contains all elements in correct % in order to grow in coco properly
also you dont need to worry about ph because your nutrients always end around 5.7-5.9 "ph perfect"

a slightly higher RH is good for growing relative to temps look up VPD Chart
if you have the ability to manipulate RH then VPD is worth looking into
if not
try as hard as you can to keep large RH swings from happening

as for pests
good housekeeping is a must
keep area extremely clean
keep doors shut as much as possible
Air Circulation is a must
a few oscilating fans are a good option

look up IPM (integrated pest management)

as for light....16/8 is probably bare minimum for keeping them in veg
18/6 is a better option
24 is not a good option unless you are cloning or rooting clones
in those two scenarios your plants arent using there circadian rythm....they are putting all energy into rooting
once rooted 18/6 is the best option for rapid growth

as for coco
water with nutrients every day
never let coco dry
and because of the nutrients you are using
you dont need to worry about ph
just keep your ppm's in check
stick to a ppm that your plant are having good growth in and keep those ppm's constant
no ups or downs
if problems are to arise there are those here to help you

@hermit186 about coco ph and lock out I'm currently having some redness in my stems. I've been PH my water @6.0 through booom. Would I have better results with ph of 5.8 the entire cycle? This way to eliminate this ph raising beyond that 6.3 mark. Or is this more crucial in only a 60/40 mix?

you only need to worry about the ph going in
as long as you are within 5.8-6.2 you are perfectly fine
alot of times people in coco experience problems because of watering practices

1. Always ph after adding nutrients
2. Never feed coco with plain water
3. Always maintain a nutrient solution ph of 5.8-6.2
4. Feed your coco every day

when growing in coco we are not feeding our plants we are feeding our coco and in turn the coco feeds the plants

your red stems could be from any number of things
ph/N def/Mg def/P def/K overdose/underwatered etc.
or it could be genetics

should i switch the light cycle to 18/6 now? also about the vpd what do you suggest i set my Rh at i saw the charts there really high with my temps it suggest about 65-to 70 rh

Can you also please elaborate on what you mean by manipulate RH ?
Click to expand...
Manipulate RH
I just mean if you have the ability to maintain an RH sy 70% and you have the equipment to maintain that then I would follow that chart
most professional growers live and die by VPD
if in your case it states to keep it @70% rh for your temps
if you can keep it there you will see rapid growth and extremely happy plants

but if you dont have the equipmet to maintain that rh then I suggest making sure tgere are no major RH swings
like 70 one day and 35 the next
that is when you will see a decline in health as well as things like PM will
def set in

as for light cycle
I would suggest letting the plants go to sleep and then resetting the timer to either wake up 2 hours earlier than normal or turning off 2 hours later but in any case let them sleep and have them transition comining into the next daylight cycle

as for your 4oow of light
remember they are T-5's so those 400+ w are being dispersed evenly throughout the fixture so each plant isnt really getting 400w but rather a percentage of daid watts
oh yeah and try to keep you lights 6"-8" above your canopy

I have a dehumidifier that is set at 50 witch keeps it around at 50 to 55 and puts off alot of heat
so when the ac kicks in at 78f it lowers the Rh down with it around 38rh
Click to expand...
yeah that isnt good at all
probably the reason you started seeing growth in the top of your coco
you might want to try settng the dehuey to a higher rh closer to VPD chart and getting a fan to get some airflow in there if you dont already
maintaining a good temp and RH is paramount in healthy MJ plants

tempy good job brother,, for being a decent guy to others offering advice, and then being smart enough to know which one to really listen too Wisher been handing down advice since adam and eve!
Click to expand...
Of course bro I greatly appreciate all the suggestions
But doesn't mean I will do all .
At times I like falling so that I can learn to stand back up
But wanting this to work out has got me on edge.
I love the fact that I can pick Wishers brain lol you were right his very knowledgeable

I think I know what I'm doing wrong ! I have the humidifier blowing the hot dry air into that room
Click to expand...
yes....def route the hot air from the dehuey out of the room
and if you dont want to get all VPD I would raise the RH to around 60-65 with temps 78 that is really good right there
is your room sealed?

I have 2 rooms one is for veg (small room)and the other one is for flower
So what I did was I put the dehumidifier in the main room and had the dehumidifier blow the dry hot air in there
With that comes high heat and low Rh
