Hey all. I’ve decided to start another grow in 2 weeks. I have canna coco pro+ in a deep freezer(kill any pests) and I have canna coco a,b, canna pk13/14, cx regen a root, cx headmasta, sho gun sumo active boost, recharge, fish sh, armor si and tons of cal mag. Does anyone have a feed schedule for these? Also I have perlite does anyone mix it with their coco? I know some do but also I’m using the autopot xl. 4 hard pots. (Have fabrics but humidity is usually a problem). A lot of other questions like how to use the armor si in AP, and as seedlings coco has to stay wet so is it runoff in the beginning or like soil where I just wet a bit and check later then turn tanks on? I’m coming from coco loco which is a 45/45 soil coco bat crap ect, first run 5g fabrics organic nutes and additives. Got over 300g last run each auto and this run I used same except autopots. Definitely a difference. Any advice is always appreciated.
Be sure to set up your pots as recommended. a 2" layer of hydroton on the bottom will help with moderating moisture uptake. I personally use fabric pots (3 gallon) in my XL trays.
Silica has to be added to base water first and allowed to dissolve into solution before adding anything else. Cal Mag is second, followed by your nutrients. Try to maintain a solution concentration of around 900 ppm with a PH of 5.5 to 6.0 or thereabouts. Adding perlite will increase O to the roots–definitely a good thing.

Ok so I’ll use the perlite too. I’ve read silica has to sit in the water for a while? And will it clog lines?
Mine mixes immediately (Silica Blast) and does not clog lines if mixed in the correct order.
