May I ask why you're using coconut milk? I cannot recommend it, too high in fats and doesn't have the goodies in it that coconut water has in it. The FNB is very easy to work with. Be sure to alternate the sugars you're using (since I see two forms there). :)

Sure,

Coconut Milk is extremely high in cytokinin coconut water isnt, depending on the brand of coconut water it can be rather high in sodium, the coconut milk contains 20 different amino acids in higher concentration than coconut water, also the fats act very much the same as neem oil or fish oil in the way they smother root born pests its also an anti-septic it helps ward off pythium rot root root etc.

I'm glad I'm tagging along, I don't really like to put *any* oils or fats into the root zone, so I want to see how it works out for you on this one. :)

Yes maam however i won't be using it after this grow. I finally saved up enough fun tickets too triple my grow size I've now got 6 4x8 tents so I decided too switch everything over to 3x6 raised beds with blumats and using coconut milk would clog the hoses instantly.

Question for ya seseamaiden. I got into a debate after buying 3x6 beds instead of 4x8 beds for the tents. The problem was the 4x8 beds would be pushing out on the sides of the tent almost two inches. After purchasing 8 nanolux De fixtures I'm not sure I wanna fool with the integrity of my boxes, maybe that's crazy. Also both beds hold 150 gallons of media the 3x6 is 14" tall and the 4x8 is 12" tall. I honestly can't see any difference at all. Am I wrong? Should I just build my own custom beds to fit the tents too size?

Go with what fits. I don't do 4' across because I can't reach that far. If the volume is the same, then if it were me I'd be going for the 3x's.
