How to grow in Coco: Feed schedule

bending encourages more tops without much stress to the plant. for me its an absolute must for canopy control. training the plants for maximum quality, health and yield.

Master Cultivator once again i could do with your wisdom! My plants seem to have a claw effect going on im suspecting nitrogen toxicity. I am using the 3 part micro grow bloom as you know. How would I lower the nitrogen? Should i lower the dose from all 3 bottles or just one in particular? Thanks once again

are you measuring your feed by EC/ppm or going off the bottle? keep the mgb at equal levels and run it at 1.0-1.2ec (500-600ppm) for now. that would be with a starting water at around 0.3-0.4ec (150-200ppm).

Hey cult made a mistake and watered to much on my coco and now it's more saturated then it should be. Saturated to where I cant add anymore water for at least two days. What should I do in this situation? Will my plants suffer a lot due to this mistake? They are in small one gallon pots at the moment. They still look very happy but know I did wrong with how much water I put in. Bout ten percent run off. Great thread for us first time coco growers!

still feed daily, just give a less feed. if you really worried just allow to dry a little then go back to daily feeds. dont worry.

Not going off the bottle but my ppm pen really sucks so im now feeding .5 per L will invest in a new pen to help me be more accurate!

0.5ml/l is really low. are you using calmag?

Not using any cal mag. Using tap water fluctuates from about 150-215 ppm. I was using a higher dose originally but started to bring it down because i had this claw effect thing going on. Last feed was slightly higher then .5 per L i made a 4L feed with 3ml of MGB 1 drop superthrive and 4ml Dutch probTake root

with that water starting point you should be in the range of around 2ml/litre. that would bring ec in at around 1.2 (600ppm) which shouldnt cause any issues at all in coco.

you can go straight to 3 litre but best to root them in a 500ml-1litre pot first. but for sure you could go straight to 3 gal. if you were going bigger than 3 gal id insist you pot in smaller pot first.

Cult theres so many different opinions and so many different techniques what do you find works best for coco watering wise? Should i ever water to run off even slight run off ? Worrying im just not watering enough and that im watering to regularly as some people are saying water to run of in coco then every so many days when the top 3/4 inch or so is dry? Any help would be great man

Edit: i know its not good for coco to go dry but does that even mean the "topsoil" so to speak the top 3/4 / 1 inch of it? No idea, i make coco sound so complicated its unreal.

Hey I just started my grow but have followed cultivator directions he has a coco feed thread check it out. What I have been doing is at the age of ur plants is water once a day when lights come on. I water to a lil runoff not much but that way I know its reached the whole root ball!! My plants have been growing like crazy. U font want the coco super saturated will slow root growth but u want it moist. Water jus enough to where they will b ready for another watering 24 hours later. Don't treat like soil treat it like hydro!! Check out cultivator coco feed thread he grows thousands of plants in coco n he will always answer ur questions might not b fast cause he is a busy man but he will get back to u!!
