Doggy Daddy's Dive Into Coco

They're looking good though, with that attention to detail you'll be able to work with your coco pretty effectively!
 
Thanks for the advice Strange. I haven't given them any CalMag yet so I think I'll incorporate it into their next feeding. Coco is so new to me. Soil without nutrients? Wtf?! It's kinda cool that I can control exactly what they're eating though.
 
Np man! Again I'm not experienced with coco,but I've done a bit of reading. It's really cool how it is essentially hydroponics because it's just a blank canvas for you to work with!

I've seen some great results in my reading and I'm sure yours will be up there!
 
I'm trying. I've got too much time and love invested in my plants to fuck them over. I'm a busy family man but I'm slowly learning to make sure I get my plants in order as well as my priorities in balance. I've kinda let other plants go to shit when they flower because they were bagseed or clones that I was just experimenting with. But since this shit is documented I can't fuck off lol.
 
Plus we all know it's worth the time ;P
 
Yea dude were in the same boat, I think we'll pull it off, some great help here.

Like havin little weed angels lookin over us

Always add calmag to coco and especially when using led lighting.

And maybe not for now, but I've also heard plants under led like more silicate as well!

Might help down the road DD though I admit I'm not too familiar on what it does for the plant. I think it helps with cellular wall health or something like that.
 
I'll pull up a chair. Just to kind of repeat what was said... I'm on my second Coco grow... I use a premixed coco/perlite from FF but I go heavy on the CalMag pretty much all the way through veg. I doubled the GH scheduled dose and they got 5 ml CalMag every feeding. Now that I'm about a week after flip I am tapering it back to about 2.5 -3.5 ml depending on what the girls tell me.

Looking forward to that white rhino... Grew AK in my first coco grow and was pleased.

Happy growing my friend!.
 
Day 11: All 3 plants took well to the transplant from last night. Today I mixed a new batch of mites but added CalMag to the lineup. I really want limited problems this grow and everyone seems to agree with supplementing so thank you guys for your advice.
This is my chicken scratch nute schedule for now. This is also the order that I'm mixing them. I thought that silica was first but then I read that CalMag should be added first. Whatcha guys think? I'm kind of at a loss when it comes to making my nutes. I watered to a little runoff. They seemed pretty moist still from last night's transplant so it wasn't much. Ph was about 5.9ish btw.

I also started some slst. Seedling low stress training. I'm pretty sure I got this from Imtoasted but not sure. Gently bending the newly grown fans down to expose new growth.

ALWAYS ADD MICRO FIRST

When using any 3 part micro/bloom/grow etc. Micro goes first, then the rest of your base, then additives and ph balance.

I came across this while researching my own nutes and wanna make sure you get this info, I forget the exact reasoning, but they made it clear it was important.

Ps nice drawings .

Ok, so base nutes first and then the rest? I've heard to add silica first because of the ph being high but that doesn't matter if you're ph'ing everything in the end, right? No worries, the fun part is experimenting. Those drawings are a note pad that my daughter made at school for father's day. It's been very handy with labeling my water jugs.

As always looking good DD
Just throwing this out there but on NL the one tip looks a little nute burny?

Thank you Budz. I just checked her cause you freaked me out for a sec. No nute burn, maybe just the way the pic is. Thanks for your concern though.

I use potassium silicate as a ph up and silica source so depending on your water your situation my be different. My water comes out of the tap at 5.8 to 6 once it's rested. After I add my nutes (which I have yet to do) it'll go down a bit. Add my potassium silicate, adds silica and gets my ph back where I want it!

But yea micro then the rest of the base nutes, then additives. I think it was something about particle suspension that goes wonky if you mix them wrong. They also say always add it to water then mix, never mix your nutrients straight. But that ones a bit easier to guess.

Aww that's cute DD id be stoked on a note pad like that XD
 
I've mixed nutes with micro and armor si first. I can't say much difference showed. I will tell you that on the GH flora schedule from their website, there's a note on the side that advises to mix armor si and cal mag prior to micro. I have read conflicting things like most people, so who the hell knows.

Right now I mix armor si and cal mag before micro.
