What Do You Do?

so i see a lot of threads where people say to never just straight water in coco....i personally do a feed...feed...water...feed....feed...water....and have never had issues.

So now im interested to hear why people are saying this...the way i see it is if your not flushing the pot right out there is still food there and it helps to keep clearing some salts as i go...

It all depends on how hard you push the nutes.

I know a few folks do fine with fwfwfw. and i also know some folks that use flower nutes through veg too.

Well straight RO water is impossible to Ph adjust so I never feed straight RO. I suppose tap water is fine because of the minerals and additives. Honestly I keep it pretty simple and feed the same nutrients veg through flower at 1.2 ec three times daily. Too many people treat coco like soil when it's truly a hydroponic medium. Treat it like hydro to and you'll get hydro results. I don't flush but I do just do a very light feeding the last few weeks to bring out some nice colors.

My tap water tests at over 2000 ppm so i only use RO....i have a guy coming today to run tests and show me some new tech....some filterless technology...i will post the results later

Ya its brutal...very hard and high metal....we dont drink it cook with it....its almost useless

I feed every time, but I only feed 1.0 ec ( 500 ppm) at max with most feeds in the 400-450 ppm range. (0.9-1.0 ec) The last 2 weeks 200 ppm or less.

Here is a shot of a plant that was an experiment on anthocyanin production in relation to nutrient types and strengths. This one went 4 weeks with plain tap water only.

And that's in coir.

Nope its 2000+ we have what you call shit water supply the meter i have tests 200 but it has a flashing part that tell you to times that by 10 .....the village is literally scrambling to keep the plant running....very old infrastructure

 

[Juicebox]

Basicly if they dont get it under control here in the spring they are getting their licence to run revoked

 

[Juicebox]

Their plan is to inject chlorine closer to the source....so the licence will be getting revoked because it wont help to the effect they are thinking it will....back in the 70s anywhere in the province was testing up to 5400 ppm so it has improved :D

No saskatchewan canada.....farming is what the cause of the problem is.....they farm land too close to water supplies

Thats a shame.... happens down south too. ..theyll run the soil into dirt for 10 years for money then spend the next 100 years figuring out what went wrong.
