Hi all,
I've had this coCo ph problem for awhile, first let me say I have looked everywhere and talked to people in person read a few forums, thought about it and came to my own conclusions, whatever I have tried a few things,
OK here is my grow set up and problems ,
.1000w dim, switch ballast 8 inch cool tube currently on mh 400w
.5x5 tent,
8 inch max fan pro series 780 something cfm,
.RO water
.9 plants in about 3Rd week of veg (they are off to a slow start I feel because of my problem and being new to coco)
.5 gal black pots filled with coco and a couple scoops of perlite
I flushed it cleaned it to drop ec,
They sit in a flour tray with a hole on one side, my tent sits on a raised roundation and has a small amount of grade about a inch of fall over there 5 feet, and that drain s into a pan I have under the foundation and gets pumped out,
I first stated in small 4x4 pots and noticed that after I flushed the coco and I gave them a very mild dose of nuts at 5.8
the ph would not go down almost atall the run off was at about 7.0 high 6 , on a scale set up like that with the small pots it was easy to see how rediculous it was to put in the good ph water and get out bullshit, I know the coco alone is at about 6.2 or so,
I'm thinking about changing my nutes... maybe
I'm running general hydro flora nova right now
with floralicious and root start and call mag, I'm feeding every water at about 400 to 700 ppm .6 ec or so 1.0,
And they are surviving but I have noticed some N toxic so I reduced the amount of nova and feed for of the additives and flushed hard,
.. Sorry it's getting long and ramblingg..
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED
THANKS IN ADVANCED
I'd vee really happy to hear a good solution
