I've been aiming more for 5.8 but have let it go a bit higher and lower sometimes. Both this grow and last.
Cool yeh I've just been doing more reading. I didn't know much about coco
I just also became aware they require daily feedings and nutes from the start! Wow. Anyway I just fed a 370 ppm and 5.8 ph to my 4 day old seedlings. Keep doing this daily? is that ok? I would have never imagined giving nutes to a seedling but it is hydro so makes sense. I got given the coco - usually soil.

Just start really low with the nutes to start. No need to to go any higher for now I would say. Ph anywhere in the mid 5's is fine for coco. Mine is usually 5.7,5.8.
Yeh my water is about 100-125 ppm
Added 1ml cal mag
Added 1ml A and B grow (Dutchmaster) over 2L
So coco is gonna grow heaps quicker in the veg stages then yes?

If you do it right coco can have huge rewards as growth is really fast
Root enhancers help as well but it sounds like you are on the right track. I try to have my PH anywhere between 5.8-6.2. I let it swing back and forth on that scale so some nutrients get absorbed at the bottom end and some at the top. Pennywise is another coco grower who I believe does the same thing.- Thread starter

I'm not sure what ppm I am feeding since I don't have a ppm meter I just go by the numbers. I measure the nutes with a 5ml graduated dosing syringe like for liquid meds etc... Growth seems pretty quick once you get a solo cup full of roots.

Doing pretty well I think, 2 is looking a bit droopy at the moment but have noticed they go through cycles of that so not worried..

If u get a chance I would highly recommend air pots for coco. The roots will thank you. They love that shit.

Hey thanks you mean the weird looking pointy pots or the fabric smart pots? I have 3 gallon fabric pots I used last time and 5 gallon ones for this run. The only downside to fabric ones is they are hard to transplant from so I just use them for the final move..
They are looking happy for sure.
The airpots are these:
They are pretty expensive to order from the netherlands and my budget is small, but Maybe you can get Some

Yes I have seen those here too(Canada) I think they were expensive for what they are so that's probably why I went with the 4 dollar fabric ones haha.. They would probably be better though they look more rigid
Its more air intake into the roots and If I am correct No root blocking. Anyway Its not affortable to me atm... This Will be a wishlist item for me

Noticed a lot more smell from the plants tonight, I really hope they end up just reeking! It's supposed to be very intense, dense sweet and fruity with spicy undertones. I haven't had much luck finding any other journals or even much info, but decided to give it a try.

Mine were like 6 bucks from the hydro shop. For 3 gal. My 1 gallons were like 4 bucks I think. Under 10 bucks anyway.They are looking happy for sure.

Unfortunately finding anything like that locally around me is impossible. Hell Id feel paranoid buying pots like that from a hydro shop anyhow lmao not to say I wouldnt do it though because those are decent enough prices.
I agree Its not expensive, for me Its a lot of money since they cut my paycheck by €800. So I have to stick with normal pots and buy Some food
