How to grow in Coco: Feed schedule

[Cultivator]

you have to look at plants and see their needs. but generally 1.4ec or 700ppm of base nute should be all you need through veg. this can be up or down depending on how healthy plants are, environment and how hungry plants are.

Thank you once again

 

[johnnyblazeon]

Was thinking of increasing it from 2ml per L to 2.5ml per l do you think this is enough? My stupid ppm pen fell in my feed so im kind of f#@ked till my new one comes

 

[Cultivator]

id only be guessing without ppm values. just increase by 0.2ml at a time to be safe.

Yo, johnny, when you do get a ppm pen again, think about testing all of your nutes to see how much 1ml raises ppm/EC in 1 gallon of water. Write this value on the top of the bottle for future reference. Then you can make accurate adjustments without necessarily using the ppm meter.

Also, if you search around, you may find that others have already recorded the numbers for your nutes somewhere.

Great idea!

How often can i give great white during veg stage? Doing a scrog so my veg time is a little longer then usual, was just wondering if it would have any positive affect

 

[Cultivator]

every couple weeks is enough. if you add something like carboload to your nute mix that will mean adding less great white. the carboload feeds the colony.

Hey cult.

Nice to meet you first of all.

Secondly penny wise told me you know your stuff.

Listen I'm growing in pro mix hp led reflector 144 series 4x2x5' tent flowering. Here is z picture. My question is why did my candy cane auto cks shoot and grow so successful ? It's on week two this is my learn apprentice course . So different times bad top attempts. Stunts growth I know. Also using sorry advance nutrients ph perfect grow Micro bloom ph make sure in around 5.8-6.3

Just curious as why this one plant is successful not the others for growing would the failed top attempt on nyc d auto cks be the reason.?

Sorry but trying to put this all together now start feeding them week 3? 1 ml each grow Micro bloom. Then up it?

Sighs. .. sorry to pest.

Wondering if anybody can help me with my most recent issue now...

I'm growing 6 sannies jacks in 60:40 coco:clay mix under 600w HPS, running canna range nutes. I'm around about week 4 of flower and the girls are showing the claw, some of them quite badly especially on new growth.

One of them has been showing it for weeks and weeks, but it seems like the others are going the same way now too. This one was showing signs of magnesium def, so I upped my calmag from 0.4ec to 0.6ec and this is when I noticed clawing with the others. I have been feeding full strength canna range nutes, but I'm now starting a flush and am going to put low strength nutes in. Is there anything else I should be doing? Ph is 5.8.

 

[Cultivator]

canna base nutes arent great for coco in my experience. what strength are you running according to your ec/ppm reading.

Hey cultivator,

Day 13 and they're still quite small on their third set of true leaves. Is 380ppm adequate?

150ppm is calmag,
120 base nutes
87 tap water ppm
80ppm kelpak seaweed extract

Thanks for helping all us newbies with the art of coco feeding haha

 

[wiley420]

If it's clawing down that's a sign of to much nitrogen I believe. Not possitive though

id be around 500ppm/1.0ec total value. id up the base a touch providing they look healthy.

The Lemon haze, had a calmag issue to start, fixed it and now on the new growth you can just see some spots again. Otherwise fine.

Girl scout cookie, she also had an issue few days ago but new growth was looking good.

With the above, thinking the LH might want some more nutes?

Should I bump it up to 500ppm?

I also just transplanted into 4L pots today

 

[Cultivator]

what base nute are you running.

 

[CombatWombat]

canna base nutes arent great for coco in my experience. what strength are you running according to your ec/ppm reading.

Along with the 0.6ec from the calmag, I'm at 1.8ec with the A&B and the rest of the range.

what is yoir starting water before adding calmag? this will help me understand better.

 

[skoondawg]

what base nute are you running.

I'm from South Africa, so using a local nute range designed for cannabis (apparently).

Called Easy Hydro Grow - Grow, Micro and Bloom

 

[Cultivator]

bump up your ppm to 500. you shouldnt need to up the calmag but if you do only another 50ppm.
