All excellent questions. Subbed for the responses.Hey all! I am making the transition for growing in promix to using canna coco. I've done a fair amount of researching and do have some experience with coco but still have a few questions. Assuming multiple daily feedings and checking runoff to confirm ph and ec levels are where they should be. Even if you want to just answer one question it is very appreciated! Thanks!!
The longer a plant is grown in a certain size container, not an air pot, and bigger and more rootbound it becomes, does it become more important to have multiple daily feedings? A bigger plant must react quicker to nutrient and ph changes?
Lets say we have a plant that has been grown healthy and properly for 4-5 weeks in a 2 gal coco pot. How long is too long for that plant to be fed something lower than 1.0 ec? How soon could deficiencies show up assuming you have a strong root base if you fed something like a .5 ec for a day?
Lots of the stuff I see on Instagram is multiple feedings, but I don't see drip feeding that runs all day as much. Wouldn't a drip system that is dripping all day do better than one that is only 3-5 feedings daily?
In regards to flushing...
For example let's say you have found a happy ec level of 1.5 and ph at 5.8. (plant leafs are happy and showing zero deficiencies) If you just feed at that 1.5 and 5.8 level is there even a reason to flush? Or will your 1.5 ec start to to creep up? If it does creep up, or start to show some ppm burn, can't you just run even 1.5 ec through your coco until it comes down to your happy point? Or would you have to run it down to something lower like 1.0 and then work your way back up?
I've used GH 3 part for years and have done some trial runs with coco but I treated it like soil and let dry before watering again, had growth and results that were very similar to dirt. Hoping that getting on the auto feed program will boost growth and results. But am in the middle of making the switch go GH CocoTek in hopes to make feeding program a little simpler.If you drip all day they are gonna be overwatered quick.
From my understanding, once you have developed a solid rootbase in coco, you cannot overwater. Drip all day (lights on) would only be bringing more and more oxygen into the roots, no?
What nutrients are you going to use? 1.5 ec with organics is alit different than 1.5 with synthetics(salts)
