Nitrogen Toxicity

Also you need not worry about drowning the roots bc coco by volume holds 20 percent o2 so by flushing in this way you will pull enough fresh o2 into the mix to keep the roots alive.

I have my water in a tank but I don't have an air pump in (I have got one on hand) but I'm using fabric pots

Hey just checked your posts you been Doing a lot to get this grow started off. I do hope the info you have now makes your load a little lighter. We have a lot of questions I still do to this day. Hope this can become enjoyable for you as it's something you obviously want to be good at. Keep up the good work man.

Dont wait for the top few inches of coco to be dry, thats way too dry for coco. Water heavily until you get runoff, lift pot and water again when the pot feels lighter than right after watering.

 

[Lbgrower]

I got a situation here that seriously calls for the top two inches being marginally dry. Like below that I can feel some moisture. That's when I water

 

[Lbgrower]

difficult to explain... kinda like the same way I would have watered soil...

I use calmag every watering in coco until two weeks into flower with no issues, 5ml per gallon. Coco needs extra calmag and you never let the top few inches of coco dry out before watering, that will cause all kinds of issues.

Im gonna back away, i dont do the 15 ppl giving you advice.. I ve read 3 pages of bs and im not interested in being part of it, and to the one that said you not incorrect, your so incorrect you dont even know it! OP if your plants die and you start some more and you want to take my advice and tell the others to push rocks, well send me a pm and i will invite you to a thread with over 50 yrs of combined growing knowledge, and 2 of the best at this farm in coco! I would put the names out here but there prob tired of me linking them to ppl that have real advice, and then after, go off and believe some member who read an article, and copy and pasted some sentences to sound smart.. I would of stopped this dead in its tracks but i have a real job and cant man the threads 24/7... Good luck op!

The risk of alowing the coco to dry is the ec will fluctuate and could burn the plants correct? I've heard that keeping the coco too moist attracts fungus nat and a risk of root rot?

but it doesnt need 5 ml because
1, canna coco A+B is conditioned for coco...
2. Once you have built up the cation exchange less is needed and thats why you wing off of it about week 5 or 6
3. His calmag has 2.5% N and it has caused many memebers here a learning curve because of the 2.5

I imagine your using calimag like me eh?

Thank you in advance ;)

Ok not wrong actually he said he had to flush plant until water was clean so obviously there is still a certain level of nutrients in the grow medium whatever it might Be granted u will still need nutrients to a certain degree but starting with a clean slate is not a bad way to go learning to read your plant and realize what it's telling u is key if tha plant is telling u to add more to there feeding then you do coco u jut have to be a lil more careful sooo what I said was not incorrect thanx

your post was incorrect, and this reply is a ramble of gitterish...
now lets just call it even here, and i will promise not to call you out on your mis-info and you promise not to advise anymore ppl :) Deal?

I use botanicare cocogro buffered coco mixed with perlite and botanicare calmag+ with iron 2-0-0, 5 ml per gallon from first feeding, every watering until 2 weeks into flower after the flower stretch is done. I then switch to cool bloom 5ml per gallon along with switching to flower nutes. With tap water that sits in a bucket with a bubble,stone overnight.
