I’m growing in coco and was wondering if anyone has used this. How many milliliters per gallon and anything else I may need to know. Thanks in advance

I use that exact fert from time to time in soil when they in veg and need some quick nitrogen.
mixed in feed water 1 TBSP per gallon/4 liters. Don’t use it much anymore with all the other things I have and better understanding with soil mixes.
Has to do with how it’s made but I can’t remember ATM why it isn’t the best for living soils…something about the process they use to make it.

@PurpNGold74 uses fish emulsion as well maybe he can lend a few tips. I think he uses one in veg and another for flowering.

Thanks. Yup i use the 5-1-1 in veg and 0-10-10 in bloom. When starting out it was just a tablespoon per gallon. Didnt have a tds meter so wasnt sure of my ppms. But they loved it. As they grow i just bumped it an extra half a spoon or so every so often.
My veg wasnt alaska (even tho had same ratios) it was in a grey bottle

Sorry bout that man. I use it with megacrop and they loved it. Not sure bout GH but i dont see why not. The only problem possible is getting ur ratios together

I use it in soil but I think it says not to use it hydroponically or store it mixed so if you mix a gallon you’d want to use the whole gallon.
Yeah, I grow in coco and use the drain to waste methods
I don’t see why you couldn’t. It’s just fish poop I think. I have heard horror stories about algae and parasites but I’ve never seen it when I’ve used it.
O yea im fine. Need to reload on my veg emuls. Its extra hard to burn em with it. Dont think my tips burnd til flowering, when i had too much N left in soil before the semi flush
How about urself my guy? Took a break huh?
Appreciate the info everyone. I’m going to give it a try with my W.W. Autoflowers

Damn looks like you have been getting some pretty good use out of that bottle. 
I have some of that as well I bought it for my vegetable garden but then I switched back to my normal nutrient setup that I use on my cannabis garden. Bug I’m definitely thinking about it for the final weeks of flowering just because it has no nitrogen in the bloom formula and most of my additives still have a little bit of nitrogen so cutting it out of one shouldn’t hurt? Also I have a San marzano tomato plant I am growing she’s showing signs of blossom end rot which I keep running into these days with my tomato plants. My cannabis garden if you look at the pictures are doing well though.

When growing in coco coir, a common recommendation is to use about 5 to 10 milliliters of nutrient solution per gallon of water, depending on the specific nutrients and the stage of growth. It’s also important to monitor pH levels and ensure proper drainage, as coco retains moisture well. Make sure to flush your plants occasionally to prevent nutrient buildup. Happy growing!
That stuff is great. I ammend cooking soil with it.
