You literally can't over water in Coco... That doesn't mean plants need to be water several times a day. I get it... If you have irrigation why not. If you water by hand why would you... Because you have small pots thats why and plant is drinking it up as fast as you can put it in.
What was the shit advise given?
Okay, tonight I will give just ph water and tomorrow start a better feeding and watering schedule. Once I find a nice similar journal on here somewhere...
Excellent. I think I have a plan. I appreciate the input!Coco doesn't hold excess water so you could have a hose running through it and it wouldn't matter
Whatever, do not let coco dry out completely or it will turn to straw
I say flush through with pH'd water to reset the coco and wash out any build up of salts
Then a soaking with CaMg (+Zyme if you've got it) helps move any residue around the root zone
Resume normal feeding @5.8 and the green vigour will return overnight
*edit* I see you've got the gist of what we're saying
Agreed
Hello @DeeBoy hope you are well today.
Thank you very much! That's what I need. I'll flush tonight. What strength nutes would be optimal at this point? I keep getting different opinions.....
Sorry I can't remember what week your on.
Forget 1/4 strength go full or go home!
Thank you sir! Much appreciated!Sorry I can't remember what week your on.
G.H. has a high strength, probably one of the few nutrients i don't recommend using the feed schedule.
Say week 5 I feed 700 to 800 ppm all strain dependent. Some higher some lower depending on needs of that strain.
I'd say your max could be 800 week five.
Drop your ppms by 100 every week after that. Just to make this all a little easier for you at this point.
What you want to do is put in calmag then your micro next followed by your bloom. ( as per the schedule)
Then take a reading of the ppms.
So its going to be too high at that point.
All you need to do is add water to the mix, a little at a time.
Taking readings every time you add water.
The ppm will start to drop at that point.
Gradually add water until your mixture is the desired ppm.
That way you won't be doing math trying to get it in range.
Simple and effective.
At that point check your ph.
And adjust as necessary.
Setting the ph will be the last procedure before feeding.
Salts will drop from your left over mix so any left over can be used but must be checked again before feeding.
Ph Will probably rise so a little dudillagence here will help stretch you nutrients.
For your next run I've got a couple things I use that will help immensely.
But one thing at a time.
Coco is in my opinion the easiest media to grow in.
Virtually no guess work.
Follow these simple guidelines Ive layed out and you will be happy with your results.
I'm always around for any assistance I can provide.
I'm looking forward to good results from you my friend.
Keep up the good work.

Full strength every day would fry them
I use Megacrop and Bud Explosion sorry I didn't mention that earlier and have never had a problem at full strength and more at times! Also in coco/perlite.
