Crop King's White Widow - Coco Coir - LED

Haha yeah never enough time. Hopefully we get to start our home reno this time next year. House was built 1850-60s. Post and beam style. It's been updated in the 80s but the original floor still remain under all the new ones put on top. The joist well the very few are supported by hand cut beams. Saggy in most spots. It's going to be interesting. I'm sure that will put a damper on the grow room. I just hope to have everything situated and all set (tarps down) before we start the work in the house. Even though it's been two years in this grow room I am still moving things around seeing what's best for the area.

Tell me about it Shop. I love the character in old houses, my previous house to this one was built in 1907 and I ended up adding 800 square feet to it and completely redoing it. All in original character Style....m just everything more modern. I updated all the copper and Lead Pipe to and abs, all the old brittle electrical was updated etc..... I'm a carpenter but I got somebody else to frame the place and then I just took a year to finish it.
 
I am definitely doing an irrigation system, I have an irrigation system all hooked up for outside already.

We are planning an addition. I'll do the foundation but have a crew come in and do the shell. Be faster than my father and I. Then I will finish the inside. I am very lucky that someone came through and replaced the plaster with sheetrock. All electrical was updated. No galvanized all copper. I am slowly replacing with apex as needed.
 
Yeah there's a couple of bonuses there for sure, I never had to do any foundation work which was a bonus for me. I love working with the PEX system for plumbing, so super easy.
 
I also did a covered porch all the way across the front, turned out to be 38 ft x 10 LMAO.

What kind of coco are you using. Getting interested in coco and with my grow starting is about 5 weeks I still have a bit of time to plan n prep a few things.

I love the stuff. I get the compressed bricks. So far I've just got what's cheaper on eBay. Either the small bricks in bulk or one big 5k brick. I don't rinse or add anything to mine. I would say to rinse any you get just to be safe. I have been lucky I guess to not have any problems. But everything you will read says to rinse. I don't add anything I feel it's a waste. Your adding what they need in your first feeding.

What's stopping me mostly is everything I see people complain the salt in the nutes clog lines. I know there is stuff to add to prevent that. That's more money and something extra being added to the plants.

I'm going to continue adding nutrients by hand, just use the irrigation system for everything in between.

I've always been curious about the coco, so do you not add any pearllite or anything?

I don't. Some people do. It helps with drainage obviously. If your treating it like 100% hydro. Feeding multiple times a day. I would add it. Other than that I feel coco drains well enough I don't need anything. I feed flower everyday and I just started feeding veg everyday. Well I'm doing a experiment to see if it's worth it for me to feed veg everyday. I normally feed veg every other day.
 
Ive nevef really thought about it til just now but thats a big difference in nutrient use from soil to coco then. I feed my nutrients every other feed in flower and in veg. I could potentially up the feed a bit but with soil I'd be afraid of nutrient lockout. So the coco, even on its own has way better drainage? How much nutrients did you go through on your previous grow Shop?
 
People add coco to soil to help with drainage and air to the roots. The last time I did one grow before I split the room. Feeding veg and flower every other day. Seed to harvest 12 weeks 8 plants. 1 1/2 liters maybe little more.
 
Now that I am non stop with 18 plants growing in various stages I'm going through about liter every 50 days. 50 days was when eBay said I last ordered.
 
That's a good way of keeping track. Not much more than me then, now that I've figured it all out.....not quite done yet though.
 
Perfect..I'd like to be doing 2-3 every month. I've still got to do the math myself, lol. My buddy told me I should clone on the 28th, or plant from seed every 21st.
