Hello everyone, it’s been a long while since I’ve been here. I’m having trouble navigating the site. I’m trying 70/30 coco for the first time and can use some help. I’m also trying to tag my friend @dennis62
Lots of coco users and they will all need some info. Do you know how to find the " help ticket " or what they call it where you document the grow and the specs you are running.
There is a form but I lost the link.
For coco type used buffered or not. Any coco prep. How often do you fertigate. How much in what size pot and how much runoff. PH. EC or PPM in and out. Nutrition choice. Any feed chart you are following. Temp humidity bla bla bla. .
More info they have easier fix.
More details would be necessary to properly help.
I grow in coco with Jack’s and Autopots. Photoperiod not autos.
COPY/PASTE the below list into your forum post.

Hey @Brainsacco1 so glad to see you my friend
be happy to help brother, you found my thread, you can talk to me there or on this thread.
Coco is not my normal medium but what I do is similar and I will try to help.
What seems to be the problem? With coco feeding from seed to harvest is needed.
Tag me @Dennis62 with any replies and I will get back to you as quick as I can.
Let me know what is happening brother
Hey @Dennis62 tag me brother they won’t let me post anywhere but here. I tried getting this resolved through email but no help there.![]()
Hey @Brainsacco1 sorry ya got problems, hope things get better with the posting. What seems to be the problem with your grow? Hopefully you get this and can answer brother ![]()
I looked at your profile and don’t see any reason why you can’t post.
@Dennis62 hey buddy! There isn’t that little pencil at the bottom where I can post, I have to click on that little arrow that swoops to the left
I don’t know what you call it. I’m having problems with watering. I’ve tried to start them in 3 gallon fabric pots watering like you do but they keep stunting. I also watered them when the top start’s to turn light brown. Im finding videos with different suggestions on how and when to water. Now I’m trying in solo cups because I don’t want to pour my water with fertilizer into the coco just to scrap it. I have one going (three days old) I put a shot glass of water in before the seed, 320 ppms (jacks 321) and today half of a shot. I hope this makes sense to you. I’m glad to see your still cultivating along
I hope your doing well my friend.
Thanks for looking into this for me. There isn’t that little pencil at the bottom where I can post anywhere.
Nope.
The left turn at the bottom responds to the whole post and the smaller one below other people’s posts answers that poster sometimes with a notification depending on settings.
Red pencil if for editing your post and disappears based on time.
Coco and Jack’s here as well, happy to help.
Yeah man the swopping left arrow is the right thing to post, the pencil only shows for 15 minutes after posting for editing that post.
You are fine my friend, I’m sorry you are having trouble with starting your grow, I’m not sure what is causing the yellowing, but two things I wondering, 1 in coco feeding them is essential from the beginning, 2 allowing root zone to dry out too long.
I think you can take advantage of the solo cups, you can tell when the coco starts getting dry and water before drying out completely, use a half dose of nutes every watering ![]()
I hope this helps
see how solo cup works for starters, before transplanting.
@Brainsacco1 Have a great Sunday
tag me if you need me, always here brother
Hello @Brainsacco1 im not a coco grower but have learned a good bit from this place about it like said feed every time 1/4to1/2 strength when small keep it moist dont let it dry out was your coco buffered? ph should be 5.8-6.2 of your feed are you using cal mag coco will rob cal from your nutes hope some of this helps following you now![]()
![]()
can tag others if need be
Thanks brother for trying to help. I should have been a little more detailed in what I was needing help with. My problem was with watering, I think I was over watering and then under when I was starting my beans, they kept stunting. I did a bunch of research and I get the feeding part on when and how much. You know how the net is with so much disinformation, do it this way do it that way
shit for sure. I gave up on it, I lost too many beans and went back to ffof. Maybe after this grow I’ll try again but I sure do appreciate you chiming in ![]()
No worries growmie ![]()

I am curious about your search for information. We have had a few people around that used ai guidance for the grow with good and bad results.
What I would recommend for a frustrated grower looking to improve your grow is to review a grow here in history by searching the method of how you want to grow. Use the search function and put key words in such as pot size, grow medium. Nutrition. Lighting and environment
After it finds the matches find one where the grower has harvested and can show you the buds.
Now copy it. Verbatim. Do everything the grower did. Follow instructions on a grow that has already been success and learn how to do this.
This is by far the quickest way to success in growing cannabis..
Grow bro local bought a 31x31 and his street guy sold him a clone and gave him his chemical fertilizer recipe and he is doing very well. Has had 4 successful grows and makes edibles.
There is a grower here on the site who used FF soils and starts her autos as a straight Organic grow and monitors the PPM’s of the soil until it becomes depleted and then converts the grow to a chemical grow using balanced pH and EC/ppm data.
Look up lost girl here on ILGM for more information. She has 2 journals on on cannabis one on gardening. Very Kool way to grow with many advantages of both Organic and mineral fertilizer.
