My sticky icky (BONAFIDE) veg and flower formulas for coco.

[sirstickyIcky]

I use a combination of
HydroFarm, Advanced Nutrients and Super Bat-Budswel Tea.
Keep nutrient solution temperature 64- 75F
Mix nutrients into water solution one at a time.
0. H20 /….. with Aeration. (Circulating) overnight is best.
Mix Well
( Let nutrients mix well for 30 min or more ( over night ) then PH to ( PH 5.8 - PH 6.5 ) allow mix using aeration. Re check PH, then feed plants.
The pH (acidity or alkalinity), of a nutrient solution affects the availability of the elements contained within. Use GH pH adjusters to maintain nutrient pH between 5.5-6.8
Arid, bright, hot environments cause plants to drink more than if they are grown where it’s humid, dim and cool. Thus, use less concentrated nutrient solutions when growing conditions are more intense in order to lessen the risk of overfeeding.

Bud Blood forces plant to bud a week sooner.
****only use during - Flower Week 01x7 days****.
This early budding gives plants a whole week longer in flower to get larger, * increasing flower growth.

Watering Frequency


The frequency of watering depends on the evaporation and the water supply in the COCO. A common rule is; one daily watering is sufficient during the first few weeks under normal circumstances; then increase up to 2 times a day; 2 hours after the lamps have been turned on and 2 hours before they are switched off again.

For coco, feed when the colour (changes) of the coco's surface has begun to lighten or feels dry. Note, when plants are more mature (mid-to-late veg and throughout bloom), some growers prefer to feed several times per day.

Depends on your source of coco, many nutrient companies will pH and pre charge their coco to what they want in their line. Cheap blocks of coco need to be broken up and rinsed before a precharge.

You can precharge the day prior to planting, then 250 ml daily for the first couple weeks, then to 20% run off until harvest.

Coco is an inert medium, it contains no nutrition on its own. Treat as hydro, ph 5.8- 6.8 and ppm 500- 2000 are your guides to success.



*NOTE a good source of coco coir info (pre charging ect) is

*Don't let plants sit in run off, so be sure to dispose of it.

Girls were getting a little sweaty as its the end of flower week one. Giving them haircuts aka big leafing and removing low growth. This is a good time to get everything in tent in a fixed position and ready for support netting.

(support netting is used when you know your tops are going to be large and heavy. The net gives enough support so the plants can handle the weight.)


***** Its better to put net in early,_flower week 2_ :) than be without one in flower week 8_:( *****
