a summation of different grow methods & what ive found that works for me, no need for the extensive variety of nutes Canna &/or other brands that insist 5-7 different additives are required to produce ace buds, most of this last lot of plants were grown with not even an Coco specific nute regime but just a general hyroponic A & B formula, no PK or Bloom Boosters
'been doing some experimentation this last 5yrs with Mycorrhizal/Trichodermal fungus preparations(Great White Mycrrhizae etc) in Coco substrate with basic A & B Coco nutes in Fabric pots, the findings are that even though the directions on various Myco/Tricho are to use for a limited amount of time, then when beneficial fungae are established treatment may be discontinued are not really the case, i can see after about 1 week of discontinuing the treatment a definite lowering in vitality of the plants are evident, have found that adding even such a small amount like one fifth of a small teaspoon per 10litres is enough to keep the plant vigor in check, i have grown in organic soils for many years previous but cannot say i had the same good results than using Coco with a constant small dose of Myco/tricho treatment in fabric pots, bottom line is this -
growing in Coco with basic nutes & constant Myco/Tricho treatment in fabric pots will offer, much denser & finer bud structure, much more resinous buds, have found that 2 same type plants grown side by side in soil & Coco a large difference in end product by up to 30% more bud weight per volume with the Coco/Mycco/Trico/fabric pot combination coming out the clear winner, if you want super dank buds try it & see, of course the original strains you choose are important to begin with'
so this is the grow & bloom nute regime used here -
fresh river water
addition of a good brand Mycorr/Tricho blend with 1 fifth teaspoon per 10ltres constant throughout the entire grow cycle
basic good brand hydro grow formula such as General Hydroponics Flora Micro/Flora Grow
basic good brand hydro Bloom Formula such as General Hydroponics Flora Micro/Flora Bloom
up to 1200ppm during Bloom weaned down to 250ppm during final weeks
good quality fabric pots with a run to waste system, drip trays upside down so no toxic salt buildup
good quality Coco Coir @ 80%/20% perlite
pH aimed at 6.0
no addition of any other additive needed
Datz all folks!
