A few more days of flushing and I think I may take all the tops then let the bottoms get some them time.
Have 70ppm coming out of the pots plant is still very green no yellow yet.
I switched to 8/16 now to speed things up hasnt seem to have done anything but it hard to tell
Very Very frosty now even fan leaves are frosting up.
YO! whats the peroxide, epsom.salt and. silica for? I have an idea but would like some clarity if you have time to.answer a new guy? Also you said you βFEEDβ everyday except 2 days . When u say feed, is that nutes? wster? im confused on you feeding the plant everyday.I would think it would burn up but your ppm is definitely fine.So could you settle my rattling brain, the squirrel is gettin tired lol
Epson salt is poor mans mag plus a few other things plants love.
Peroxide is h2o2 the o2 is oxygen and when peroxide attacks bad bugs in media or water it releases the oxygen and the plants can use it. Its like O2 injection kills bad bugs and feeds good bugs win win. 2-5 mil per gal and it tends last about 3-5 days. I add it every feed and water as well as flushing. It will keep the roots clean too.
Silica is basically fine sand or rock or glass depends how you look at it.
it supplies building blocks for the plant to use making them stronger against temp or damage from sun or weather.
Hydro plants tend to be weaker because of the lack it in most media.
I feed every day but not Tuesday and Friday I use them as dry out days.
With coco feeding every day is the best tactic.
I use 5gal pots and like to over flow about 200ml. I find 2L is about right unless after a dry day when 3L is the go.
I find I push the old nutes out the bottom.
Alot of ppl treat coco like soil and get into trouble. If you let coco dry out you will burn your plants.
Thanks for the detailed answers. So your in coco in pots, not hydro?
Coco is basically hydro more then soil.
If you treated it as soil it would not be a good grow.
This has been my first coco grow I normally grow things via hydro or aero
Low pressure aero is my fav and its where I have the most exp
I am how ever very impressed by growing in coco becasue its so simple and fool proof.
The lack of any sound is a big plus too
Wow man .I have never heard of the aero growing. Im not asking you to train me but that is interesting. I will have to research it. I still dont understand why you would be feeding daily,except those 2 days. Does coco not retain moisture more than a day or something? I understand its a blank canvas medium so u have to add everything but I didnt think it would need it daily, quite interesting. Compared to soil.is it a more expensive grow due to needing more nutes? Flush more often? Are u adding the silica to your water or to the soil when potting? If you start a journal on the Aero give me a shout my friend,I would like to.follow and grow along with ya,
I have used about the same amount of nutes for this grow in coco feeding daily.
You feed less more often and I guess O2 is higher but I cant prove it.
Aeroponics has been around since the late 80s and involves small sprinklers and a low pressure pump.
I am supersized you have not seen it.
I add nothing to the medium when potting other then the coco/perlite mix
1-2 ml of silica per gal stop week 5 of flower.
When you feed daily you dont need to flush much.
I flush 5 times over this grow a total of 46L over all 5 flushes and 2 of them were just change over flushes like switching to flower.
After trying coco I am not sure if I will go back to aero its more work and heavier work and hard to stay stealthy becasue of noise.
I used this grow
145 ml micro
241 ml bloom
51 ml grow
34 ml calmag
12 ml rootboost
this isnt too much for a whole grow
one other thing I didnt point out is when running drain to waste you run lower ppm
I keep record of every thing avg humidity 62 avg ppm 850 lol
I dont think these is much difference with nutes they are all similar
Just find one you like.
I do like 3 part ones because you can fine tune easier.
Pulled them today after a week of flushing
They look perfect great job
Thanks they truly smell good
I had to start the fire in the shed to cover the smell
yeild will be down but quality look good
Have my next one waiting to go in
Hope youβre not offended, I totally smoked a bat to completion while watching your porn . . .
Your flowers look great! Keep it up, happy growing!
